I connected that to the booster, then ran the other coax to the inside antenna across the room. Conveniently, there was an existing spot on the outside wall nearby where cable lines were already going into the house, so I just ran this through the same spot. I connected the 75-foot cable to the external antenna, then ran it down the side of the wall. No problem since the exterior antenna was upstairs and the interior antenna was on the first floor. For best performance, the outside antenna has to be at least 50 feet away from the interior antenna if both are horizontally located or 20 feet away if separated vertically. Placement of all the components is also important. When it arrived and I opened the box, my first impression is that this thing looked pretty involved. I jumped at the chance to test the weBoost Home Complete DIY kit provided by Wilson Electronics, which boasts a max gain of 72 dB.

It’s not surprising because I live in a suburb of Phoenix in an area with mountains on three sides along with quite a few multi-story homes and businesses. My house is fairly large but has a pretty pitiful cellular service history - typically one to two bars on my iPhone. Find yourself in a signal dead zone and you’re on the other end around -110 dB or worse. If you have all four bars with great reception and data speed, you’re probably closer to -50 dB. The signal strength of your phone is measured in decibels or dB Gain. Poor cell coverageįirst, a quick explainer on how the whole thing works. But I did mention it is the company’s most powerful booster. Provides up to 72dB max gain (more on that later).

Includes an outdoor antenna, indoor antenna, signal booster, coaxial cable and more.
