Works as it should

I have tested the Weboost in my campervan in 2 locations in which 1 had very poor signal and the other had none. Both worked. The first location worked well for calls, texts, and internet. Signal went from hit or miss to working well. The second location had no signal but I knew there was signal nearby. The Weboost took it up to 2 bars if the phone was within 2 feet or so from the interior antenna and a working 1 bar within about 10-12 feet from the antenna. Like the first location calls, texts and internet all worked.I have mounted the antenna on my roof rack but have not permanently installed the unit and run the cable yet. I am intending on connecting it to my house batteries with an on/off switch to eliminate residual drain when I dont need it.

This is a product I have needed for a long time. I regularly go on weeks-long camping trips in my van, and I like to go to areas that are off the beaten path, meaning marginal to no cell service. This becomes a problem when I have a Zoom meeting, call, or just want to e-mail or text, especially if files or pictures are attached. The WeBoost comes with good instructions and is conceptually simple, but because installation involves a through-hole in the van (either pre-existing or new), there's an extra level of anxiety in the installation. I finally decided on a professional install, because I know my limits and didn't want problems later. I'm not sorry. It definitely makes the van taller (mine is already a high roof), which will require a new level of route-planning, and I also sure hope it can bend to the will of the occasional tree-branch (haven't tested that function yet!). You can plan ahead and put down the antenna too.Anyway, this thing gives a 2-bar boost, and that makes the difference between breaking camp and driving all over until you can find a reasonable signal, or sitting back in the wilderness while you conduct your business. Especially installed, this is not an inexpensive option, but it's worth it for convenience and peace of mind. I recommend it!

WeBoost is the name brand everyone knows when it comes to cell phone boosters because the quality is there. This works amazingly well to boost a weak cell signal to something stronger. In my experience it works best with a weak LTE (4G) signal.

It worked but was not easy to install and is very pricey.

I'm so disappointed. I've heard from other people that this product works well, but it does not work at all for me. Apparently, I don't have enough "vertical separation" from the outside and inside antennae. My RV is 11 feet high. I've moved the inside antenna to every possible place inside my RV, to no avail. Only when I place it outside, on the ground, do I get the continual green light on the battery box. But, even then, I don't get any change in bars on my cell phone. It's not the location where I'm parked, it's the equipment. I've called a few times to troubleshoot and it seems like this is as good as it gets. I have a very expensive roof decoration on my RV. I really don't want to get Starlink, are there any other reliable internet-on-the-go options for a full-time RV'er?

First off, the packaging was very nice with a separate molded compartment for each piece. It arrived in perfect shape and told me that nothing was likely to be damaged. Uncharacteristically I opened the instructions first and was pleased to find that they are written in clear American with no pseudo translation required as is so often the case with electronics. So, I decided to break with tradition and read the directions, finding each part mentioned in its own compartment and sealed bag. Nice! I was impressed that the directions mentioned things to do and what are undoubtedly common mistakes throughout, and that they explain why each mistake is a mistake like putting antennas too close together for example. First up was the exterior antenna assembly. The machining, anodizing and finishes were very clean and exact. It threaded together perfectly, and they even include a little tube of thread locker to keep it from going airborne on the highway. The antenna cables even have that nice quality feel where they are flexible but still slick for pulling through holes, and they straighten out when you want them to rather than forever coiling up and being a pain to run. There are even a couple pieces of heat shrink tubing included to seal the antenna connections even better. The cable entry gland is a quality piece, perfectly molded and threaded with no hint of brittleness. They include an AC plug-in power supply, a hardwire cable, an inline molded fuse holder, and an insulated butt connector. They really did think of everything it seems. So I got it all assembled for a test in my metal shop building. I used Ookla’s speed test with an iPhone to see results. I only have LTE around here so I can’t speak to 5G performance. I put the outside antenna on the roof and ran the wire down into the building. When I powered it up, I noticed that I bumped up a bar or two on the phone. I was surprised to not have full bars right at the antenna but proceeded with a test. Unsurprisingly, my speed test with the unit powered off was horrific. I got 1.82 up and just enough upload blips to not fail, but the reading was 0.00. So being reassured that my service in the building still sucks, I powered the unit on. No buttons or configuration required. They include troubleshooting tips in the manual that looked helpful, but I was green to go. Even with the sub-par temporary antenna location, my speed inside went to 5.06 down and 1.02 up. That sounds terrible and really it is, but for inside a metal shop in Hillbillyville NC, that’s transformative. I could place and receive calls clearly which I can never do inside. My intent is to use this for the camper as I already have Wi-Fi calling set up in the shop, but it gives me the confidence to go ahead and install it in the camper knowing that it works effectively. It’s a spendy solution but if you don’t go in the middle of nowhere to get away from cell service, it should be a game changer!
