Will the antenna extend the coverage area to the outside? My phone instantly disconnects when I walk outside the house

No. My understanding is that the antenna's purpose is to allow placement where it can capture the GPS signal that the Microcell needs to handle 911 emergency calls. The Microcell is designed not to function without that signal. The antenna will not extend phone coverage beyond what you would get from a functional Microcell without the antenna. My Microcell gives me coverage for about 20 feet outside the house.

Depending on where you live, the orientation of your house, which direction the antenna will face and whether it's on an outside wall or not, then maybe yes and maybe no. You would have to try it first without mounting it to see your reception.

As long as the outside antena is facing the closest cell phone tower. the roof should not be a factor?

The land line got nothing to do with it... If you place the antenna somewhere where the signal is stronger, it will increase the signal on the house.

As long as you don't have a metal roof and you have enough room to rotate the antenna to align it. You'll probably loose some signal, from being inside, but it should not be much. If you have lots of trees around your house above or equal to the roof line........don't think you'll gain much......the antenna would need to be outside on a pole (do not use metal pole - sch 80 PVC works good) to get above trees,.....but then you can't do that because of no outside antennas.

I have the antenna mounted outside on a porch roof about 15' above ground w/ excellent reception; have had other antennas in attic also w/ excellent reception so ans is - Yes

No. Only internal. Coverage with the internal antenna is usually superior to an equivalent consumer AP. Well-designed devices like this aren't really helped by external antennas. In fact they often result in degraded coverage due to regulatory constraints meant to prevent interference with neighboring devices.

Probably not. My house sits kind of low with trees on side that it points toward. I got better reception in the winter when leaves were off trees and when I first got this antennae. I also have a hill with trees that is higher in elevation that causes issues. Picture will freeze and sound goes out a lot when trees are moving in the wind. Reception was definitely better the first 6 months I had this antennae. Hope this helps.

No. This is an "outdoor" antenna for a Wilson cell phone booster like this one: http://www.wilsonelectronics.com/store/display/38/45/dt. It is used to pull in stronger cell tower signals from outside your home when are then sent to a cell phone booster like the one linked above which then in turn sends the stronger signal to an "internal" antenna that would be mounted inside your house on the ceiling. Your cell phone then receives its signal from the internal antenna which is much stronger than the signal trying to get into your house from outside. The idea is that the whole device (ext. ant., booster, and int. ant.) together takes the stronger signal outside and makes it available inside your home. This antenna can also be somewhat effectively mounted in an attic instead of outside on a roof.

The signal booster is made for outdoor antennas. I don't know if it matters which antenna you have. I use mine on my old rooftop antenna, it works for me.

I recently left my phone in the house and walked outside. At about 30 feet away and through a brick wall I became disconnected.

Yes, no issues with reception. This will vary depending on your location to the broadcasted signal.

It depends on what you are trying to use it for. You will experience some signal lose, the antenna is designed to be used outside and will work the best that way.

I use mind on a outdoor antenna, improved my signal by 10 times. It should work for you.

I've been outside and had great reception for several hundred feet. I've walked to end of road (600ft) and lose reception probably at about 500ft. Of course some static comes in to play at that distance but still pretty impressive.

I live in a city where broadcast is less than 20 miles. You may need an outdoor antenna...

Couldn't tell you for sure, but mine connects as I pull in the driveway. It'll hold signal till up the street when I leave. I can easily use it anywhere on my property which is over 100' at some points. It may be worth it to run a hardwire to your furthest area or get a signal booster/relay.
