Review on 📶 Enhance Cell Phone Signal for All U.S. Carriers with weBoost Home MultiRoom Signal Booster - FCC Approved, Covers up to 5,000 sq ft by Ken Desens

as the device was degrading my connection. My experience with this has been a real joy *sarcasm*, but it seems to be working fine after too many tweaks. I tried installing some software but the cables are too short to accommodate the antennas for testing. There is no software installation in that sense, as you somehow have to install an external antenna and make sure it's pointed at the tower. If that's on the eve of the roof, then. You will need to install a pole to attach it to. The only soft part is the amplifier and the internal antenna. The only way to soft mount an external antenna is if you already have roof supports on the side where you want to point the directional antenna. The original setup with the amp on and the antenna in the garage didn't work. Even though it was showing 3/4 bars, I was getting 1-2/4 bars consistently; it degraded my connection. Interestingly, the slew rate actually improved but reduced the slew rate. Return to the drawing board. I didn't feel like pulling the wires out of the holes I drilled in the ceiling that lead to the garage so I decided to order a pair of 6ft RJ6's (in case I send these back and try a different brand) . The new location will be the woman's workshop through the window with window flat cable. Surprisingly, I noticed an improvement over installing it in a garage. Unfortunately, I have already tested this course and did not notice an improvement early on. I wonder if the new RJ6 cables along with the flat window cable helped improve it. Strange. but that seems to be the case. The installation guide shows the outdoor antenna with both 15ft cables with window wire. Who knows. # Performance before booster - about 5-6 Mbps down and about 2-3 Mbps out - about 25 ms ping - 1/2 of 4 lanes on iPhone x # Performance after boost (after MANY optimizations) - about 6- 8 Mbps down and about 3-5 Mbps up. The ping time has increased by about 2 times. T-Mobile and Sprint are in the process of merging, so I don't know what to expect. # Neutral - Should show promise for 5G, but I've read that it depends on 5G range changes. We've already seen what happened with 4G vs. LTE. Operators will likely launch their own frequency band, so is this really the future of 5G? The booster doesn't have a firmware update function, so I doubt it's supported. # Cons: increased ping delay. Will be sacrificed for better lowering/raising speed. The cables are too short for a real installation, especially in a two story house. Can be ideal for a one story home or a ranch style home. - Spent too much time getting it to work. Competitors like HiBoost have an app to control the booster. It includes utilities to improve signal quality and ways to manually adjust band gain. This product provides no information other than color indicators, so it's like driving without a speedometer or checking weight without a scale. If they "future-proofed" back to 5G, if they had an app that could update the firmware, they would be way ahead of the competition and I'd be more confident about the 5G support claims. Being able to disable specific frequencies would be a plus as the antenna is directional anyway and would help limit unnecessary RF noise. WeBoost seems to be the most popular brand and I'm shocked they haven't made their own app yet. They should recommend other apps to help find signal to nearest tower and instructions on how to read dBm. - Up to 5,000 m². Feet is based on the strength of the external signal from the tower to the external antenna. You can check coverage estimates online through their guide. These ratings are not included in the product information. It is on the box but the photo does not show that side. 2 of the 4 bars I go outside are priced at around 1500sqm. ft. # Conclusion The product is OK - 3 stars. I bought a booster in case the internet is lost and it helps with missed calls. I think the booster is too expensive just to get 1 or 2 extra Mbit/s and up to 5000m². Feet, but time will tell, especially with missed calls. I have a few other ideas that I'll try and see if it improves anything. If it doesn't get better and I still have mixed feelings about the product, I'll have to return it and order HiBoost. Claims of future 5G support are another reason I bought it, but after seeing the product I doubt it will work with 5G. HiBoost supports up to 10,000 square feet. feet for almost the same price. As always, I will update the review as I gain experience.
