    Wilson 901117 Pole Mount for Antenna

    • I then found the location of the cell towers by using a web site called Cell Mapper which shows you a precise location on a
    • They recommended using the Open Signal app, and then when I told them I was already using it with no results, stated it was not very accurate, so perhaps I wasn't pointing the antenna in the right direction, They then recommended I call AT&T and ask them for the best tower location, (akin to calling the White House and asking tax questions.)
    • Product works better than we had hoped for after we found the right location.
    • I knew the receiving antenna was in a marginal location and the result was limited boost
    • At one frustrating point, I actually mounted it on handle of a shovel and moved it around the yard trying to find a good location
    • I used a galvanized post bent to clear roofline and an old satellite dish bracket to mount to house. and tested with running lines through doors and windows to get best location/signal and then drilled holes.
    • Played around with the indoor antenna to figure out best location.
    • This is common, especially so in highly desirable tower locations near high traffic areas
    • Set up was easy, used OpenSignal.com & app (http://smile.amazon.com/OpenSignal-com-OpenSignal/dp/B004V4LK6Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1460386543&sr=8-1&keywords=opensignal) to determine best cell tower location....
    • When I discovered this, I was able to locate the best locations for our equipment
    • I used Mobile Signal Widget, by Empirical Tools on my android phone and walked around my house until I found the best location
    • Finding the best location took a little longer than I expected but not unreasonable.
    • It took a bit to run the cables in my house and find the right location, but it works great for our AT&T and T-Mobile phones.
    • Followed the instructions and did a soft install to determine the best location for antenna separation
    • You need to move it around a few times and be patient to find a cinderella best location
    • We were able to find a good location to mount outside, and now we can get 2, and sometimes 3 bars inside the house.
    • This worked but I had to change the hard install locations a few times to eliminate all resonance
    • : If you have a poor cell signal in your home but great reception outside, the weBoost will work wonders for you (provided that the antenna is placed in the right location)
    • It took about half an hour of planning to get the just right signal location, most subtle visual location on the outside of the house, the spot to come in through the wall and the cable route
    • I get 3 bars in the best outdoor location, typically I was getting 1 bar indoors, and would have dropped calls frequently
    • Even though the booster wasn’t effective for the remote, geographically tough location I bought it for (in talking with customer support, it was clear that the signals around my house were just too weak and unsteady), I’m giving this a 5-star review because of my totally positive, stellar interactions with customer service concerning their 30-day return policy
    • Long story short, we hooked up the weBoost, tried the antenna on the inside of the window & it helped a little (kind of like at my old house), but then when I hung the antenna on the outside wall at the optimal location (identified prior to ordering), this little gem gave a full 5 bars inside the house & enough signal to cover the entire 2200 sq
    • The tapeworm like window cable (included) allows you to run the coax cable under a window (either permanently - or to test the best location of the internal antenna before you start drilling holes).RESULTS:We went from a signal of -120 (essentially worthless) to -92 (better than what we get while in the heart of a big city)
    • I have limited locations to place the unit
    • , So you need to really walk your property/house and find the best location for signal to essentially boost and repeat
    • Take your time installing and picking out best outdoor antenna location.
    • I took the time to really get the exterior antenna in the right location to get the best signal.
    • I used Mobile Signal Widget, by Empirical Tools on my android phone and walked around my house until I found the best location
    • If its not working right, then it was not installed right or in the setup in the right location
    • As others have noted, l suppose it may not work well for other types of applications if it is subject to extremely high winds
    • garage) and get coverage in my garage, as well as on my 1000 sq.ft
    • Setup was a little bit confusing since the instructions were basically non-existent but the unit works as it said it would
    • Unit does not work as
    • In the interim, I have ordered a replacement as we cannot afford to go without the improved cell phone coverage.
    • Booster works as it should
    • This product works very well, it enabled us to drop the satellite internet, (which sucked) and allowed us to use the data on our phones as well as an AT&T Home Base for internet
    • our tower is 3 miles away but doesn't boost as much as it says
    • works as it should have cell service now
    • It didn’t work as
    • Kit is highly recommended as it makes annoying dropped calls a thing of the past.
    • The only plus in the entire ordeal is that a port on the black box broke as we were installing and we called customer service and they sent another one without issue
    • Didn't boost as much as we had hoped
    • This did not work any better than the free unit I received from T-Mobile that works in the window
    • We live in a 'dead cell phone' area.. at least as far as AT&T is concerned
    • At the time, T-Mobile provided one of the most cost effective 4G LTE network solutions, but in the Trinity River bottom a usable T-Mobile signal was non-existent
    • The most difficult part of set up was finding the best possible position for the antenna ~ ts trial and error.
