Verizon Cell Phone Signal Booster for Home & Remote Area on 700mhz Band 13

I was very hesitant in buying this at first but after a lot of research on what bands were being used around my home and what I had to work with, so I decided to try it. I ended up using the existing RG6 cabling network inside my home to tie in the booster system; This method of installation might not be the ideal way for you, but it definitely worked for me. I used my existing RG6 cabling network in my home, a “TPI 5000A adaptor kit” and a 10’ section of chain link fence support tubing as an antenna pole. I temporarily put the antenna up with the provided hardware and zip tied the pole to one of those green wire fence posts driven into the ground. I ran the cable from the antenna to cable TV access box on the outside of the house and tied the Yagi’s antenna N male connector to one of the spare RG6 cables in my access box. I used a TPI 3015 female mini UHF connector to connect the RG6 cable and then a TPI 3307 male N connector to connect the Yagi’s female N connector.A TPI 3001 universal connector connects the TPI 3015 and 3307 connectors together and you will need two sets of these for both ends of the RG6 cable. All my network interfaces (RG6, Cat5/Cat6, telephone cables) run inside my home to a communications closet so to speak. Lastly I added the other TPI connector adapter I made to the other end of the RG6 and connected the Booster system to it. Turned on the booster and began finding a place to put up the wall antenna inside the house.Needless to say although the inside antenna does work, isn’t all that great. I ended up having to place the inside antenna in my bedroom as the wife didn’t want holes in the walls to mount it in our living room (LOL!).While testing I definitely had a less than -95 db signal increase (basically went from 1 bar to 3 bars) inside the bedroom. But I noticed a drop in signal -110+ (down to 1 bar) on the cell phone test apps when I left the room and went to another. I ended up having to mount my Verizon Jetpack 8000l hotspot close to the inside antenna.Tested the set up for a 48-hour time frame and adjusted the antenna as needed. Ended up with a semi-permanent set up with 2ea 10’ sections (20’) of poles to get the antenna well above the roof line as I erected the antenna next to my home.We don’t drop as many calls and we can stream Amazon shows and surf web pages now without a lot of interruption, so I gave this product 4 stars.The TPI connectors can be bought individually from “Tequiptment.net”, just do a search on their website for the part numbers mentioned above (FYI, their shipping and handling costs SUCK!). See pictures I posted on this site. The Cell phone apps I used for general testing (needless to say are not accurate) “LTE Discovery”, “OpenSignal”, “Network Cell Lite” and “Coverage”. Good luck.

Used it in our RV. My signal went from 1 bar to 4 bars LTE

At first, I didn't think it was going to work. When it arrived, I took it out of the box, plugged it in and started pointing the antenna around, trying to see if it amplified the signal. Seemed to have no effect. I was upset that I had spent so much money on this thing and it doesn't work. The next day, I decided that I need to go through the motions and follow the directions before complaining and sending it back. The outside antenna has to be separated by a wall from the base. I put the antenna up about 12 ft on the peak of my tiny house and aimed it toward the cell tower indicated by the recommended app. The base is on my porch under a tin roof. I now get 3-4 bars of LTE or 3g where I was getting intermittent 1 or 2 bars. The downside is that the range is not very good. If I'm within 10 ft of the base, I'm good. Much farther than that, it will drop off pretty fast.

After many, many years of just telling folks to "go to the window" to get cell phone service, it was decided that actually improving cell phone reception in the business would be something to invest in. After looking at several possible solutions, this system appeared to be a candidate to fix this problem. It had all the essential technical elements of $800 - $1000+ repeater systems, but at a fraction of the cost.The kit includes all of the basic hardware that is needed to install the system. A PVC pipe was purchased to use as a mounting mast. Also, in the installation from the 3rd story roof of the 200 year old brick building this was installed on, an additional 50ft of RG58 cable was needed to reach the repeater base station on the first floor.The construction of the repeater base station feels solid. It is in a metal box, not plastic as I expected. The antenna itself is of average construction - it may not be hurricane proof, but it is still of decent quality.After the installation of this item, cell phone service on the lower floor of the old building below the tin ceiling has gone from non-existent to "5 bar service" (100% signal).This product is excellent for small-mid size businesses who want to improve cell phone service, but don't want to invest in $1000+ enterprise radio repeaters.

Booster was installed to bring signal into a metal frame building where there was previously no cell service. Installation was a breeze. Outdoor Antenna was mounted to exterior wall via PVC conduit. Once powered up received 3-4 bars of LTE inside. Highly recommended if you have service outside but nothing inside!

I purchased this device to amplify cell phone signal at my lake house which has very poor cell phone reception. I followed all of the instructions exactly and was able to get four bars on my telephone when I was 1 to 2 feet from the antenna in the house. If I stepped back as little as 4 feet from the antenna my phone signal dropped to one or two bars. If I walked into a different room then the signal completely dropped off.It could be that the device I received was defective, but I had already wasted several hours obtaining the best possible signal from the outside antenna and testing the device. I did not want to waste anymore time with returning this device and receiving a new one. I returned the device and received a prompt refund. I gave it a two star overall rating as I suspect I had a defective device as other reviewers state they got great reception throughout their house.
