QuestionIs the only difference between the booster for a car vs. home the power connection? Or does the car version have better ability to handle motion?
Asked 5 years ago by GG.
- Answer Difference in power. 12 volt dc verse 110 ac. Also the broadcast signal is much more narrow with the vehicle version. Must be within about 12 inches of booster although directions state 30 inches. The home version has a larger broadcast range but receiving and broadcast antenna must be much further apart than vehicle model. If they get to close it causes a feedback loop.

QuestionIn reading the description I'm not sure what is needed for installation. I am working from home with poor cell service due to my area being low. Can you let me know where the 4" antennae goes? Again, home office set up.
Asked 6 years ago by JMick.
- Answer I am using this for home purposes and the exterior antenna needs to be placed in a clear area outside away from windows. I have a metal pole that the magnet of the exterior antenna sticks to. I then wired through a window (which is closed) to connect to the "hub". I keep the interior antenna close to my phone and I have not dropped a call since. Don't worry about damaging the cable when connecting the exterior antenna to the hub. The cable is sturdy and can be closed in a window without affecting the signal. The directions even say the same thing. You will need an AC adapter to power in home, I also got that at Best Buy.

QuestionI am fixing to be working from home and am required to have 40 MBPS or higher. Will this allow me to receive that? I have hotspot on my phone and thinking of purchasing more for the house.
Asked 4 years ago by RRR.
- Answer The Drive X is designed for use in vehicles. For home products we would recommend looking at the weBoost Home collection like the Home Room (Best Buy SKU 6389038) or the Home MultiRoom (Best Buy SKU 6364298). All booster products are meant to boost the signal from outside your home inside of your home, so depending on how strong your outside signal is would determine your inside signal strength.

QuestionDoes it require a separate fee, subscription or contract with your cell service provider?
Asked 4 years ago by Honed.
- Answer No, just a one time purchase. Before use though, you must register the device with your wireless provider and have your provider’s consent. Most wireless providers consent to the use of signal boosters. Some providers may not consent to the use of this device on their network. If you are unsure, contact your provider.
