What is the distance from booster that you get boosted signal. Also can this be configured to boost outside the building? Are there outdoor antennas and how far do they boost

Hello Bryan, First, every case is different. The coverage area and quality of coverage varies depending on the area you are covering. Trees, buildings and weather can all affect the quality of your signal. With that being said, the general coverage area of this booster system is up to 10,000 square feet. Can you clarify what you mean by "be configured to boost outside the building"? Would you like for the broadcast range to reach outside of the building or would you like to set up the system outside? In addition we can also provide outdoor antennas that can be configured to use with this system. I hope this clarifies things for you, we are happy to help. Feel free to ask about anything else you need help with. Regards, CellAntenna Corp.

I placed the booster on the outside back cover. It seams to help by raising the signal only one bar. I had terrible reception in my family room and dropped some calls. Now I do not drop any.

Richard, As long as you get a signal from your carrier somewhere in or around your home either outside of a window or preferably on your roof or in the attic (if you have one), you mount the antenna where you get the strongest signal then route the cable to the booster inside where your going to need the signal. I put mine in my attic and routed it to the room I needed it in. Keep in mind that the signal looses strength as you leave the room that the booster in mounted in so, if you have a lot of walls in your house you will lose signal strength the further you get from the device.

You must have a active 4G Signal outside and must find the area of best reception. In order to get these booster to work. You must have a 30 distance by 15 feet vertical distance. In other words, must have 30 feet apart from the base station to the antenna. They have to be 30 feet apart. Also metal surfaces interfere s with this system. Must have a 3 feet distance from the base station otherwise you will get noise polution causeing the red green light to go spastic. I have the Zboost SOHO Datablast YX550 S. I get 1 bar 4G outside and now I get 5 full 4G bars on my phone and 35mbps. They are sensitive systems so must follow the instructions for this system to function correctly. I live out in the country and middle of no where no have metro reception like beimg in the city. I use Galaxy Note 2 through Verizon on the 4GLTE network.

I was told that those antennas weren't very good by the people at Solid Signal. In any case, I'm in a fringe area and have an antenna designed to pull in signals from 60-70 miles. The Motorola Booster will only amplify what it gets from the antenna. There are times when I have 100% signal strength and there are times when most channels disappear completely. A mast mounted pre-amp may help with signal strength to the booster. The booster is really meant to feed into a splitter to distribute a signal to multiple sets. It can't create what isn't there. Mine is in my attic and feeds four rooms. When there is signal from the antenna, it works fine. I bought a pre-amp for the antenna but haven't installed it as yet.

I am not sure what your exact situation is, however, I do wireless communications for a living for over 25 years and I had the same product that did not work at all either. No matter what I did with the antenna location outside, tested the cables, etc. it just did nothing to boost the signal. I hope you have better luck but I had to return mine for a refund. I hope this helps.

Coax cable (the antenna) connects to your booster .. Without your antenna, your booster ( the addition you place your phone on ) will not work or Boost your signal. It gets screwed on to the booster

Too many unknowns (distance/topography/power/etc). I'd recommend contacting a local IT company to do a site survey. BTW, these specific APs are not designed for outdoor use. See Ubiquiti UniFI AP Outdoor 2x2 MIMO Access Point 802.11bgn

Yeah I agree with Danny, but with some creative engineering you can still boost the signal distance. The only way to boost the signal of something like this would be to utilize the interrupt pin and have it trigger from a read on the external antenna, Which would actually be pretty interesting to code and build. Hope this helps!

Remember, we're working with radio waves being sent through the atmosphere, and pretty much line-of-sight from a cell tower. The signal amplifier (the booster) is amplifying the signal intercepted by the antenna and sends it to the pad where the phone is to be placed. You'll have to trust L. P.'s experience working in a basement. If it works for him, it should work for you. The antenna must be outside, and as high up as you can reach with your cable for maximum effect.

You can. You would hook it up from the tv to your antenna. If you don't have a very strong signal to begin with, this won't boost the signal enough to get more channels. Before we hooked up the booster, we had 4 channels, and after we had 6. We live 30 miles away from where the networks broadcast, so we are too far away to get those channels without using an outdoor antenna.

Our router is upstairs in a back bedRoom. We setup the Amped Wireless booster downstairs under the stairwell and it worked to boost the signal throughout the whole house. In fact, I get a stronger signal from the Amped booster than I do from the router two rooms way.

Depending on the signal outside of your house is the answer...If you were to walk outside the home do you get improved signal bars on your phone? If you have 2 to 3 bars then this will theoretically place those inside your home. The second question is how much distance do you want inside the home. If you just went with this and say a small candy bar inside antenna (the piece that amplifies the incoming signal inside your home) then your going to be limited to sitting close to that point to use your phone. They make cradles that attach to the antenna's cable that comes in your house and this cradle will amplify this signal but it's limited to usually leaving the phone in or very near to the cradle to actually work. The best way to increase the signal inside your home is to purchase both the outside antenna and an inside powered booster with it's own inside antenna. The Zboost Tri Band unit is something to consider... http://www.amazon.com/zBoost-ZB575-A-Phone-Signal-Booster/dp/B00KDZEE68/ref=pd_sim_sbs_cps_7?ie=UTF8&refRID=12DMKJ3CH3Y7R65NDHZS Or the Wilson Kit...Easy to Setup aswell.... http://www.amazon.com/Wilson-Electronics-460101-Signal-Booster/dp/B00HWX16GU/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1409158009&sr=1-1&keywords=wilson+att+signal+booster Both kits are all inclusive meaning everything is included to setup and use, no additional parts to buy. I own a similar Wilson kit to boost my cell phone and cell internet hub and it's been working flawless for a couple years and I can use my cell phone in the room located upstairs from where I installed the kit. Without the kit before I had zero bars in the basement, now I have 5 to 4 bars anywhere in the basement. Outside my home I have 2 bars before the booster was installed.

You'll more than likely have to hook it to an outdoor antenna. I use mine in my shop, it's a metal building, mobile home will be the same. I get my signal from the house...about 300 feet, works great, full signal with outdoor antenna. I also pick up signals from neighbor close to 1/2 mile away.

I have mine mounted on the wall of a 3 car garage (inside). It reaches most of the two story with walkout basement house fine, as well as the backyard and pool area. I get a weak signal in an adjacent shop building, and use an amped range booster set up for the ubiquiti to feed my computer there. With that in mind, saw no need to mount it outside as I had initially planned.

Sue, The boost feature is a handset clarity feature that is automatic and pre-programmed into the handsets. It activates when the sound quality degrades. I can't say about the 200 foot distance plus the metal building. It's a crap shoot, but this is a quality unit that is probably going to perform to the limits of FCC regulations. Keep in mind that the unit also has an optional Range Extender (old KX-TGA405; new KX-TGA405B) that claims to double the range of the phones and its only $35 on Amazon. Good luck, Tom

I attached this particular AP to an indoor wireless cart as it has an omni type antenna. I also did a building to building installation with the ENS500 which is a point to point installation. That particular installation was approximately 300 feet and there is a tree (trimmed and can see through it) in the pathway. I still connected up at -59 dBm and was able to pass traffic at 32 Mbps. I also have another site that is in the 600-700 foot range with two of the older Engenius products (8610 I think) that have been working flawlessly for many years. The actual range of the ENS500 is supposed to about 10 km but I have not tested it that far. On a final note, Engenius has gone cheap with their Mounting Kit. Older products included a metal adjustable mount that could be tilted and secured with a metal clamp. The newer products I just purchased have the mount molded into the plastic AP and they include 2 thin zip ties to secure it. I bet the zip ties would not last a year on a roof with the sun beating down on it. Do a search for "Dundas Jafine MC4ZW Metal Clamps" and buy some if you plan to mount it outside.
