Summary: Little to no improvement in signal despite multiple antenna locations
Comment: We have AT&T and live in a low spot. Reception is fine at the top of the driveway, but not so great in the house.
I tried mounting the antenna inside the house, in the attic, and on the roof. the extender recognized our phones and showed that everything was working, but I saw no improvement in signal on either phone. Standing on the roof, i could get a good signal with my phone, but the antenna mounted in the same location didn't give me the same results inside.
I really wanted this to work. It didn't for me. Seems like this product either works very well for you, or not at all.

Summary: Great Product
Comment: I have used this product in several installations where cell signal is low or medium with drop our areas, including deep in a basement where there was no signal at all. After installation the basement now has 5 bars of signal and it is flawless. Only thing to be careful of is when choosing your device buy the one that matches your cell phone provider and I think NEXTEL IS NOT supported by any of the models.

Summary: May work somewhere but not here.
Comment: I'd have to start by saying the customer service for the product is wonderful. They were able to clarify installation directions (base unit and exterior antannae have to be 15 VERTICAL FEET apart, not just 15 feet apart). Unfortunately we don't get a consistent enough signal to gauge if the product works. Once we got everything installed we had full signal but it would bounce around from Analog to Digital Roam to something else. Each time it would change (5-15 seconds), all signal would drop completely. Even when the signal held we couldn't receive or make calls. We are really disappointed. Our land line is ancient and not a day goes by when it works the whole day through. We were hoping this product would allow us to drop our land line and be completely cellular.

Summary: Works exactly as advertised
Comment: This devise is not a perfect panacea. If you don't have a signal anywhere in the vicinity that you plan to set up the booster, don't bother. It can't boost a signal which isn't there. Outside my house I had two bars on my phone and inside I would occasionally get a bar, but it wasn't strong enough to call or receive calls. I installed the antennae in the attic, and then fed the cable through the same wall that the TV cable runs through. You have to separate the antennae from the base by at least 15 feet or you will generate interference, and the higher the antennae, the better. I now have two bars inside. Simple and easy and worth the money.

Summary: Poor description!
Comment: Recently purchased this product and did not know that it has an external antenna that needs to be installed somewhere outside of the apartment/house. Since my apartment is small i didn't know that the device needed an additional 15 feet distance from antenna to device. I was disappointed to find that i was not informed of this when i purchased the item.
