Reviews around install (5.00 of 5)

  • You should be fine if installing in a standard situation
  • When installed in my airstream it works fabulously, and this is where I have chosen to put it at present, but since the outdoor antenna is a magnet and air streams are aluminum, I will have to leave it in a retractable/semi install until I can find an acceptable form of attachment.
  • If installed incorrect you will not receive the maximum benefit
  • This makes installation hard to keep clean, but you may be able to make a nice, clean install if you have a vehicle with a hidden power port.-You can mount the main unit anywhere, but then you have a thin, long wire hanging off each end.

Reviews around result (5.00 of 5)

  • Obviously, the results would have been much better with an improved external antenna, but as a starting point, the simple antenna that comes in the kit is enough to give anyone a noticeable boost in signal if properly set up
  • After configuring the iPad as a hotspot, I found the best results by placing the iPad on the RV's floor (as far away as possible from the roof antenna) and spacing the iPad about a foot away from the Wilson internal antenna
  • At the second marginal campsite (Larrabee State Park in Washington), the results were much better.
  • I currently have a Wilson Electronic's DB pro home cellular booster system and have had great results by installing that in my home.
  • Wilson is the manufacturer of several cell phone booster devices, and in my home I've been using their DT - Cell Phone Signal Boost for Small Home or Office for over a year with good results

Reviews around build (5.00 of 5)

  • The short version: well built, simple device that works as advertised
  • It's not cheap, but seems well built save for the delicate (by construction) antenna cable.
  • Overall, I think this product is well built, works as advertised, and deserve a 5 star.

Reviews around place (5.00 of 5)

  • This is a flat antenna, and must be placed somewhere optimal.
  • However, there was only one spot on my Mini Clubman where I could place the antenna and that was at a minimally allowed distance between sun roof and car antenna; got it all connected, though, which was quite easy, and flicking the conveniently placed on/off switch to on caused the device to light up and by all indications it was set to work; took it for a spin from the shore area to further inland (just a few miles difference) and made local calls from a variety of spots (2, 3 & 4 bars) and compared them while the 'Signal Booster' was turned on, and off
  • I run mine with both a phone and a Verizon mifi card, and keeps a 4G signal in some amazing places, and even 3G or 1X in places you would expect nothing at all
  • Manufacturer recommends placing that at ear level, but if I'm thinking it'd be great to attach it to a place that already accepts Velcro by nature

Reviews around product (4.64 of 5)

  • A worthwhile product for your car if you need to help a little with signal strengths
  • A very good product, gets very good signal where there are none without it
  • This product looks like a Wilson booster but don't have the Wilson name or logo anywhere on it
  • This is a good product that seems to work well, as I have tested it in some known "cold spots" for cell service in my area
  • Not saying that this is a bad product, just that it may be the area that I live.

Reviews around booster (4.21 of 5)

  • On the end of the plug is an on / off switch so if you don't have a switched lighter socket you can turn the booster off so it doesn't drain your battery
  • This booster works great in everyway and is worth every penny.
  • Another family member had a cheap cellular booster from Walmart that allowed us all to text and that unit cost considerable less not to mention all the antennas and adapter I bought to facilitate the change in connector type
  • Some campgrounds had a great LTE signal and the booster was unnecessary.
  • The booster works great but the antennas are absolute crap, especially the internal one

Reviews around antenna (4.05 of 5)

  • I'm very much looking forward toward Wilson releasing a better antenna for this booster.
  • The booster works great but the antennas are absolute crap, especially the internal one
  • The little antenna in this kit limits the capabilities of the booster
  • Had some issues with antennas Wilson tech sent free antenna upgrade works great now.
  • I spoke to Wilson and was told they sell an NMO mount and will be releasing a new series of antennas as the FCC approves them that will work better on 4G.Be sure to put this tiny antenna in the middle of your car roof to improve it's dismal performance.

Reviews around g (4.03 of 5)

  • I got worse service with this new and improved booster than I did before when I was actually able to get 3G. To make matters worse, a new tower was put in the area and 4G was available a short drive up the road
  • I bought the sleek 4G car one first, thing got crazy HOT to where i couldn't even touch it,
  • It boosts 4G and 3G. I can keep Pandora much better when driving through areas with low
  • It boosts 4G and 3G. I can keep Pandora much better when driving through areas with low

Reviews around unit (4.03 of 5)

  • Mounting the amplifier directly to the car frame (I would suggest somewhere under a seat) will not only help to keep the unit cooled down, but it will increase performance and provide the device with a more solid electrical ground connection
  • This unit has sucked from day one and even after getting it replaced, it continues to suck compared to older models.
  • Even though they are spendy, I highly recommend Wilson Cellular booster units, they noticeably improve your present cell reception in your vehicle and in your home.
  • i paid for three-day shipping, because i use the phone in my work and need one immediately.however, the unit went dead after one week
  • This unit promises to boost your cell signal in your vehicle, allowing you to improve your coverage in areas with less than optimal cell reception.

Reviews around installation (4.03 of 5)

  • Installation is straightforward, just look up the installation video on youtube, and make sure the external antenna and the internal relay antenna are > 4 feet apart, and make sure you play with the placement of the internal antenna, otherwise they may cause interference.
  • Professional Installation is recommended, Also the Cell Device should be as close to the inside pad as possible and no further away then 12"
  • As other reviewers have noted, correct placement of antennae is key, which makes the cumbersome installation even more annoying, since it impacts performance quite a bit.3
  • That being said, besides proper installation, the greatest limitation of this unit is its external antenna

Reviews around work (4.03 of 5)

  • It does works very well with proper positioning of the (inside and outside) antenna's, but realistically if there is extremely little & fluctuating to no reception of any cell towers where you park your vehicle, you may get a reading that shows some cell availability (1 bar) but you still may not be able to send or receive a text with so low of a reading)

  • Even though they are spendy, I highly recommend Wilson Cellular booster units, they noticeably improve your present cell reception in your vehicle and in your home.
  • FYI, although I am sure that Wilson would not advise using it for such, this unit could just as easily be used for fixed installations with weak signal reception
  • This unit promises to boost your cell signal in your vehicle, allowing you to improve your coverage in areas with less than optimal cell reception.
  • We have horrible reception where we live - generally 1x or older, and 1 bar; no 3g or 4g
