Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Weboost Drive Reach RV is a small cellular signal booster that is easy to setup and use. The design is good as the Weboost itself isn't very large and should be something that can be mounted just about anywhere inside your RV or travel trailer. It's case has a solid construction feel to it. You only have to connect 3 cables to it, the outside antenna cable, the inside antenna cable and the power cable. This makes it incredibly easy to setup. Mount the outside antenna on your RV's or travel trailer's ladder, mount the Weboost inside where you want it mounted, and set the inside antenna in your RV or travel trailer's living space. Run the cables and plug the power cable into the Weboost and that's it. The cables that come with it are small diameter cables so running the outside antenna cable to the Weboost shouldn't be too bad. If you don't want to run the outside antenna cable yourself or are worried about doing that, you can get an RV service department to do it. There is a light indicator on the front of the Weboost that indicates various statuses so you will easily know what state it is in. It also comes with a spring for the outside antenna and mounting hardware to mount the outside antenna on the ladder of your RV or travel trailer. Minus the running of the outside antenna cable, this is about as simple as it can get. It's also 5G ready which means you won't need to upgrade to a different model anytime soon. One of the locations that I sometimes go in a nearby National Forest is where my cell phone gets only 1 bar of signal, but with the Weboost, I'm now able to get 2 bars of signal at that location. I moved my toy hauler about 100 yards away from that location which allowed me to get 3 bars with the Weboost. So far I am really liking the Drive Reach RV. I don't have to worry as much about where I can be in a national forest or what RV parks I can go to and still get my work laptop connected. This opens up a lot of places for me to visit and still be able to get connected. I would recommend it to anyone looking into getting a cell booster for their RV, travel trailer, 5th wheel, or toy hauler and especially to those who work remotely from their RV and depend on cell service to get connected.

First let's talk about what really matters, does this actually boost cell signal? I got to test this out during a weekend camping trip in my travel trailer at a State Park. Unlike RV parks, State Parks are more about nature and escaping the real world. This means less amenities, no wi-fi, and horrible cell coverage. This particular park was next to a small town with a population of 4500, so it does get some coverage, but it was spotty. With no booster, my phone (a Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G through T-Mobile) would continuously jump from 1-2 bars of 5G to absolutely NO signal at all and everything in between. With this booster setup inside my trailer, my service did in fact improve. My signal continued to jump around, but instead of going all the way down to zero, it jumped anywhere between a few bars of 4G up to 2-3 bars of 5G. That said, it didn't jump around as much. Overall it was a steadier signal. But that steadier signal is a bit deceiving. When it comes to talk and text, aka using your phone as a regular phone, this booster works well and you don't have to worry as much about being completely disconnected from the world. However, when using apps that require data (youtube, facebook, instagram, etc.), it's not as reliable. So if you're in an area where you're already having trouble getting data, this booster isn't going to improve it all that much. Not that it doesn't improve it, I just still had issues with my apps freezing up or taking a lot of time to load data. So if you're someone who has to work remotely, I wouldn't rely on this booster to give you a signal good enough, or reliably enough, to work nomadically. But for minimal use, or just to at least be able to call someone if needed and not be completely cut-off, then this works as advertised. And even in the product FAQs it'll tell you that there has to be at least some signal for it to boost, so if your phone doesn't work at all without it, chances are it won't work with it either. On the hardware side of things, setting it all up is fairly simple. The hardest part is really just figuring out the best way to route the cable from the outside antenna to the booster. You want to be able to use it during all types of weather but obviously you have to make sure wherever the cable's entry point is into your RV, that it doesn't let water through. I actually found a good temporary spot going through my range hood exhaust fan, which has an exterior vent made to allow for it to be open even in rain. I figured out how to make it permanent too while only drilling a couple holes in the vent and range hood itself, so I don't have to worry about going through any of the actual exterior structure. I want to also add that the main cable for the outside antenna is separate, so the antenna itself only has a very short cable on it. I mention this because I had the weBoost for trucks and that one had the full length cable as part of the antenna. That made taking the antenna off and on tedious because of how it twists the cable. That problem doesn't exist with this booster made for RV's. That means it's extremely easy to remove and re-attach the antenna whenever you want, so you don't have to keep it on while traveling. This also allowed me to attach the antenna bracket to a portion of my ladder where it allows the antenna to be at the highest point possible, and then when I'm hitting the road it only takes a few seconds to take it down. Finally, I want to add that the cable should be plenty long enough for most RV's. My trailer is only 25', but I had more than enough cable length rolled up that it would have worked on a much longer trailer as well. Overall, it's tough to say if this booster is really worth it. It does improve the cell signal, but it's only a slight improvement. If you tend to go out into remote areas a lot and you just want it for a more reliable signal in case you need it, or for minor tasks or data usage, then it's perfect. If you want something to allow you to work, stream, or play games in areas that wouldn't normally have a good enough signal to do so, this isn't going to fix that.

OK, in all this is a great system. Installation was a cinch. Mount outdoor antenna with any of several supplied mounting brackets, drill a hole, run external cable, plug power in, plug external antenna lead in... Then plug in internal lead, connect internal antenna and bam, system should be good and it is. That said, it is VITALLY important that you place the internal antenna roughly table-top height AND in main part of RV where you are going to use it. The internal antenna has a relatively small RF throw area. If you are in visual range of that antenna, you are good to go but if not, you might have some challenges. We tested this at a private camp-site in Menooka Park at Wilson Lake in Kansas. Outside of the RV, data was spotty at best all over the campground. Inside the RV (without the weBoost) data was virtually non-existent. As soon as you power on the weBoost, and are in range of the internal antenna, data was excellent. both 4G and 5G and we had seamless streaming on multiple devices. End of the day, this is a very good unit BUT please install to recommended guidelines, specifically mounting internal antenna at table-top heights and mount it where it would be used most. I would have given a 5 star if the internal antenna had slightly more range and coverage, but end of day, very good system. I would certainly recommend to a friend.

We camp nearly every weekend in our 5th wheel and the state parks are always in bad cell phone reception areas. When you have 2 kids and need to stream Netflix on rainy days, this Weboost is your ticket to parental happiness. Pros: • Very straight forward install • Comes with all the needed parts • High quality parts Cons: • Limited to 110v outlets • Ladder mounting bracket will mar your ladder’s paint • 25’ Cable length is questionable for very very large rigs • Amp can get really warm First and foremost, this thing does what it’s intended to do. It boosts available cell signals. It doesn’t magically create cell signal so if you get zero service, this booster will not help. We were getting 2 bars at our favorite camping spot and this booster will get me the full 5 bars. But full 5 bars only if you are within a foot or 2 of the “indoor” antenna. That’s the caveat. You have to be very close to the inside antenna to have the best results. Luckily in my situation, I have the amp and indoor antenna in my living room of the camper where we would normally need the fastest data speeds. The indoor antenna is also on a 20-25ft cable so technically, you can move the antenna around to where you’re going to need the best service. We have our amp and antenna hooked up behind our main TV. I place my iphone near the indoor antenna and setup the phone as a mobile hotspot so that my TV can stream Netflix with very high quality. And you can easily move the indoor antenna to a table where you need to do some computer work with the included long cable. I did include a screen shot of my data speeds before and after the install. What’s interesting is that even though my phone was at 2 bars, the download speeds were the same if it was 2 or 5 bars. The upload speeds saw the biggest increase as it went from 4.39Mbps to 12.1Mpbs. In summary, we are very pleased with the weboost. It does what its designed to do but you just have to know the limitations. It does increase your data speeds to the point that I can stream Netflix or work on my laptop with no issues. If you intend to use this booster while driving, either have a power converter to run the amp’s required 110v outlet plug or run the generator while driving.

I've been camping on and off with my new RV for about 9 months now and I've been in several different campsites where I didn't have cell signal or wifi. So I figured what do I have to lose by trying the WeBoost and man what a good decision. I will say that installation of this unit wasn't easy, but if wasn't do to WeBoost, but because of my RV manufacturer. The actual installation of the WeBoost was straight forward and easy. So if you're pretty good as a DIY person you shouldn't have any reason to hire a professional. It came with plenty of cable and attaching hardware for a clean installation. Now as far as performance this unit performs well. I'm really glad that I got this cell signal booster. I've been using this unit for a little over a week now and I have experience great service everywhere I've been. I use a cellular hotspot for my streaming services and I've enjoyed the speed and no more buffering. I do recommend this item for anyone wanting to get cell service while out camping or even at home if you don't get great service.

I received the WeBoost Reach on a Thursday and was heading out with the RV on Friday. I didn't have time to install it but took it along just to read the instructions etc. When I arrived at the campground I discovered that the cell service was between 0 and 1 bars. I thought this would be a good test. I wired the WeBoost together and zip-tied the antenna to the ladder; this was nowhere near a complete installation. I was shocked to discover that we immediately had service. IN fact, we were able to do some streaming. I still have to do the install and can edit after I give it a REAL test, but so far I am impressed.

Does what it says on the tin! It's relatively easy to mount and setup is pretty much non-existent. Once all the cables are plugged in, you're done. I tested this unit in two locations. The first location has good signal outside but poor signal indoors, the building is mostly metal and blocks the signal. In this situation the booster worked great and was able to boost the signal by almost 20db inside the building, which resulted in better speeds and stability. The results went from a erratic 25 down/0.2 up to a steady 50 down/15 up. The second location was installed in my RV is a low service area. In this situation I would normally have one or two bars of signal while outside of the RV and one bar inside with noticeably slower speeds. With this booster I was able to attain three bars and while the peak speeds stayed in the 15 range, the signal was much more stable and loading of pages and streaming of videos was smoother with less buffering. While it is important to note that you could get slightly better performance by using a booster with a directional antenna I enjoy the convenience of not having to aim at a specific tower especially considering this is mounted on a mobile RV. I have used other WeBoost products in the past and they have always worked well for me. I have also tried a few cheap options and was not impressed, this unit is definitely worth the added cost if you depend on your cell phone in low signal areas.

While it did help some, I was disappointed it didn't do more. Signal strength improved by about 15 dB, but when I ran speed tests, that didn't seem to make any difference so not sure that it's doing much. Also, the unit gets VERY hot, forced me to change where I wanted to install it and there's limited places I can get the cables into the RV.

Installation isn't very fun when you have a long RV and need to get additional RJ6 cable to extend the outdoor antenna to the inside booster. The documentation that comes with this product is sorely lacking detail on the kind of cable included in the box and what type of connecters it has. It just refers to it as RJ6 cable. So a trip online to get Weboost branded RJ6 cable comes with different size connectors than what came in the box. Lots of Googling later I think I have the issue figured out. Of course Weboost support is closed for the weekend. (When is support ever open when you need them?) so I hope I have the right connectors ordered. I'll update this review when after I receive the connectors and get everything all hooked up. I would recommend waiting until a weekday morning to call support and ask that you're getting the right accessories. There's no documentation that comes with the product that refers to the accessories that are compatible with the product and the company's support website is of no use whatsoever.

When we arrived at a state park there was immediately no service, After set-up we were able to get three bars. There is no ladder on our rv so we used an extension pole and cable tied the outside antenna to it. You need to be close to the inside antenna to keep service. We were able to get Prime and Netflix on our phones. It is expensive but it does work.

What is in the box Inside antenna Outside antenna Control box Antenna extension Mast mounting hardware Install Guide Quick install sheet Decal with contact information Cable mounting hardware Assembly and installation following the enclosed guide went without any problems. I did not do a complete install, but all units were properly put together. There was not a tag on the outside cable as to what end went to the box and what end went to the antenna, I guess wrong and retried. After the outside antenna was hooked to and secured above the RV, I put the inside antenna on the counter and plugged it into the box along with the outside coaxial cable. I then plugged in the transformer and the other end into the control box. The Light came on green but then started flashing red. After a few moments it went to all green. I called someone on the phone as I walked around inside the RV. The signal was breaking up and kept dropping the call. I then unplugged the unit and called back. This call was the same as the first call. When I reached the end of the 26-foot RV the call was again dropped. I would not recommend the weBoost – Drive Reach RV unit.

Set was fast and easy , works great in RV Parks and traveling .

Great little booster. It works BUT if your around a lot of ppl with boosters, it’s still weak. But it still helps.

you must have access to a cell signal. we have been camping on the cost. we had no signal. We added weboost and received a signal strong enough this weekend to stay in contact with family by cell phone and text message. You must have access to a signal.

Love this product. We were skeptical when we bought the weBoost but now we are so glad we made this purchase. We were recently camping in an area were we had no reception to an occasional 1 bar and with the weBoost we did receive anywhere from 1 bar to 2 bars and it simply amazed us. Glad we made the purchase and it is so worth the price to us.

A bit overpriced, but works as advertised. As long as you can get some cell signal, it will boost.

So I thought this would help my hotspot. It literally does nothing. I pride myself in being a techie guy and have followed the directions to a tee. This is junk and now I cannot return it because my window expired

Install relatively easy, so far seems to do the job as advertised. Got for in-laws who like to go camping, so will see how it does with smaller signal available to boost. . .

This is the best cellular booster hands down over any other items I have tried. Works excellent with my RV/Van. If you have one bar it will provide 4-5 bars of service. Go with Verizon and ATT with this booster.

it absolutely worked for me, I tested it in 2 known slow spots, I then access fast.com it shows 989mbps after plugin and set up the antenna, it went to 1.9-3.0 Mbps in my palisade, jo disappointment here
