ft. That is somewhat of a pain as I tend to roam around when talking on phone.The directional antenna may help even more, but I am not willing to spend another $100+ to find out if does or does not help.
from booster.I had a very if'y signal before booster was installed. After trying two different mounting configurations the best reception I can get is only if within 10 ft.
Product was installed according to instructions and range is limited to about 10 ft. Booster has to be in visual sight all of the time.
of booster. I do however have a signal that is consistent, but weak.
Boasting a 2,500 sq. of coverage is, in my estimation, a major exaggeration.
I would have to be on the patio or by the windows to get a 2 or more bars, while I would get nothing while anywhere else inside my new apartment. I decided to buy this on a friend's recommendation and I followed the simple instructions. It works as it states. Now I get 3-5 bars and the antennae is just inside one of the windows.
The booster works great, but you can't expect it to work magic. I have now have installed two of the cell boosters. In my home I have consistent 5 bars with the booster (after extending the external antenna to about 20 feet), where it ranged from 0-2 bars without the booster. Follow the intructions and ensure the external antenna is located where there is a consistent signal then it works great. If you cannot get the external antenna where there is a good consistent signal, then that is the same result you will have in your home as well. At my hunting club the signal is inconsistant but certainly better with the booster. We plan on raising the antenna higher with the hopes of finding a stronger external signal.
The text on this product is misleading. It states verizon uses 800mhz so this product should be ok. In actuality verizon uses 800 and 1900mhz so this product does not work for me. YMMVIt never hurts to call your carrier to verify what you need.I believed the description and the description is wrong.
That interferes with the signal, and the unit is erratic or non-functional. The directions were poor, and it took me a lot of effort to get it working. This was a very difficult installation. Routing the cable in a big loop finally solved the problem. I came very close to sending it back when I realized quite by accident that the antenna cable cannot be routed close to the base unit. Since the cable is attached to the bottom of the unit (mounted on a wall), it is natural to route the cable next to the unit since in most cases the antenna will be above the unit. Oddly enough mounting the unit upside down didn't work, maybe because it lowered the antenna a little. It is very sensitive to placement.The unit does work once installed correctly, but don't confuse 2,500 feet of coverage with 2,500 feet of living space unless your space is a circle around the unit.
