Increased signal from -112 to -76

on June 11, 2015

Posted by: Mrmagpi

We originally mounted this device in a window that faced the nearest tower. Before setting this booster up, we were barely able to make calls and the call quality was not good, often dropping calls. When we mounted the booster in the window we realized a gain of about 20 db. The signal strength varied from -90 to -106. We decided to mount the antenna on the roof facing the closest AT&T tower and were able to get a signal as good as -76 db.

It is crucial to put your phone into "field test mode" so you know exactly what your signal strength is and I highly recommend using an app called "OpenSignal" to determine where the closest tower is in your area.

This thing isn't a miracle worker and will do what it says as long as you put a little bit of effort into setting it up correctly.

I give this item 4 stars because for $400 I expect the internal antenna to have a better range.

I would recommend this to a friend!

weBoost - Home 3G Cellular Signal Booster - Black/Gray/White

This weBoost Home 473105 booster optimizes 3G cellular signal strength in up to 2 rooms of your home, so you can enjoy fast downloads and prevent dropped calls and lost connections. Support for multiple connections accommodates guests and family members.

Will this work with Verizon and straight talk prepaid phones?

The specifications state that this item is not carrier specific and will work with cellular signals with a frequency range from 850 to 1900 MHz. Verizon's 3G network operates within that range so you should be fine.
