First, set up was amazingly simple. Plug it in and let it go. Within about 10 to 15 minutes I was getting very good reception in parts of my home that only had weak, sporadic reception before. There are no extra accessories needed. I do not have a smart phone so I don't know about cell phone signals. Good luck.

Yes it works with cell phones. It works with any thing that has wifi. If you are yust extending your wifi then you should already have everything you need. But for setup you need the net, a computer, and some know how. It has a wps button. Thats the easy way. Push that button on both your extender and your routher and it sets itself up. But if you have to do it the other way. Set the extender were you want it in your home. Then go to you computer, get on the internet, in the address bar type in the number they give you to access the extender. (123.456.7.8.) follow the on-screen instructions and there you have it all setup. Yes it works with cell phones. It works with any thing that has wifi.

This does NOT work for cell phone signal. There is nothing additional you need to set it up other than a wireless router already.

Yes you can. It extends whatever signal you give it. You can use you phone as a Hotspot and then give it more range with this. Your phone would then act as a modem or router, basically.

This will work fine for mountain biking. A cell signal is not required - the GPS signal comes from satellites, not cell towers.

Yes, it has worked great for both. Use it for my 4g droid razr max and my 4g dongle (I don,t remember the model). Antenna direction is critical though. I have an 11db directional (yogi) and it was blown off a bit in a big storm. Needed to repoint to get my signal back. Also, make sure you install a lighting arrestor (polyphasic or equivalent) in line between antenna and amplifier. Will save your Amp if you get hit with lighting. And the voice is carried over 4g so don,t let these guys fool you. The voice just gets transmitted as data.

Yes. You just need a splitter. A signal booster is recomended when you split the signal.

Yes via varies wired and wireless options including the addition of Wilson Amplifier. This will increase your Cellular phone signal but NOT your 4G Internet connection because it uses different frequency.

This is meant for improving cell service but it depends on how weak your cell service is to begin with - if you have no signal at all or a very weak signal then this will surely NOT work for you.

if you have a bad signal it will just boost the bad signal. it does not give you more signal strength

Dear Donna. From my experience with this product so far, it does not work as advertised. I live in a hilly area, about 4 miles from a tower. I get average bars of signal at my house without the unit. The only thing the unit seems to boost is the Wi-Fi strength if my wireless internet in the house. It dies nit seem to boost my cell signal whatsoever. Sincerely, Ken W.

Yes, this will definitely take care of your needs. It will likely provide a strong signal no matter where you are in your house. Quite easy to set up and works great!

I am not sure how well it will work if I am moving my cell phone around. It has worked perfectly since I installed about a month or so ago, but I keep my phone directly beside the PhoneLynx since I am using this a my primary home phone. I don't take this cell phone out of the house. I think the directions say you need to be within 10 feet, but can't be certain on that.

The system should work effectively under most conditions. However if you have tile floors it may block the signal more. I use mine a lot when I am outdoors. Depending on the type of structure will determine how well of a signal you get.

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.

As I understand it, this thing works as a satellite but it's in your house not in space. So, brings the signal closer to your phone. Works in my place. Used to have to hold my phone at an exact angle with my head cocked just right to get a sometimes signal. With this thing no problem with gettings signal. Works well.

It worked for me. It is much better at picking up the cell phone signal. I hooked it up to my Wilson box.
