- Review of 841262
I was disappointd with the product and returned it. Panel antenna was quirky. Despite following instructions related to antenna separation, etc. one of the RCA jacks was extremely hot. On the positive side the technical assistance provided by their staff was superior. - Cell Signal booster
The Wilson signal booster has improved our cell signal at our house. We do not get dropped cell phone calls any more and the internet through a cell card runs a little bit faster and does not drop like it use to. I definately recommend this product if you are having low signal problems with cell signal. I checked using the instructions from this site and my cell phone and confirmed the signal at my house is very weak. - Wilson Cellular Signal Booster
I found the unit relatively easy to install however it should be noted that trying to run the coax cable in finished living spaces somewhat a challenge. It is obvious that if you have an unfinished basement or an attic in which the cable could be run the installation would be easier. Also, the signal from the amplifier could be stronger. If the cell phone is more than 20-30 feet from the amplifier all benefits from the amplifier are lost. The booster did do what was advertised; it strengthened the signal sufficiently that we can now use our cell phones in the house where before we did not have a signal strong enough to maintain a call without it being dropped.
I would definitely recommend this product to anybody living in areas with fringe cellular coverage. - Wow
We live in a fairly large house (5,000 sq ft) with thick wooden walls, some steel beam construction in the house. Our family is on ATT with iphones, and found throughout the house, we typically had between 1-2 bars if we were lucky. About 1/7 calls would end up in a dropped call inside the house. Our kitchen and livingroom, as well as my office were 1 bar / dead zones. Fortunately for us, outside the house we would get 4-5 bars, or full service with the iphone. We were fed up having the exit the house sometimes to use our cell phones. We finally decided to try a signal booster, and used Amazon, to make sure it would work, and we know their rock solid return policy. Install was pretty easy, just 10 screws for all the units combined. We positioned our antenna on the roof where we would get 4-5 bars. We put our repeater in the basement pointing up from the center of the house, and the WHOLE HOUSE is covered by at least 4 bars, It will never even go into the 3 bar area. It is recommended in the directions to mount the repeater high, like on the 2nd floor and point it down, but it was too hard for us to run the wires. I bet if we installed it the way it was recommended we would get 5 bars in the whole house, but we only get 5 bars within 100 feet of the repeater box. Those dead zones in the kitchen, living room and office where making a phone call was something you just couldn't do, and now fully covered with 5 bars of 3G. Our 3G download speeds are hitting 7 megabit on speed tests now, thats as fast as our wifi can make the iphones go!
On a side note.
One of our family members uses T-mobile, and will at best get only 1 bar outside the house. The repeater will not make more bars than the service can provide, therefore, if you are getting 1-2 bars outside your house, I would not recommend even trying a $500 repeater, get a new service provider. She can only get 1-2 bars in the house, so it can't magically make bars, but it can help push the service through the walls without a problem.
Now if it were 1-2 bars on ATT on the cell phone outside the house, the antenna may be able to capture more bars, and provide more service inside the house. Maybe it is just because T-mobile service is so bad, that any antenna wouldn't help the cause.
Overall I am very pleased with this signal booster, and would recommend it to anyone who needs a boost inside their house. It will cover your whole house, and dropped calls or low signal will be a thing of the past. Thanks Wilson for making such a great professional product. I am thrilled that I don't have to go outside to make/receive calls anymore! - Wilson Electronics 841262 Dual Band Pro
