I have a 2000 sq ft house on an acre & need to boost the cell signal for the whole place. Is AG Pro Quint the best set-up for this?

I installed two of these units in two different houses that are each around 2,500 square feet. One was installed in the center of the house and the entire house is covered. The second one is a one extreme end of the house and it does not reach to the far bedroom. This has NOTHING to do with the equipment. There are several Walsh and twist an turn between the interior unit and the bedroom that doesn't get the service. It goes through walls no problem but not several walls. I went from on bars to a consistent 4 bar cell signal on both AT&T; AND Verizon. This equipment is pricy but well worth it! I would spend the money and get the Pro unit instead of a unit with less power. I installed two of these units in two different houses that are each around 2,500 square feet.

Yes, I would say so. The Quint is a 50 ohm system which is more powerful and allows you to add additional interior antennae if the single antenna doesn't cover enough. Also, this system uses LMR400 ultra low loss coax instead of rg6 which is supposed to be much better for this type of signal.I was able to cover around 5k sq ft (with a few dead spots in the basement) with an additional antenna.

In some cases depending on the layout of the home you may need more than one internal panel antenna. The Quint is probable the best booster in its class. If you have never installed one of these make sure to call the manufacturer for guidance, they are awesome and very helpful. They will actually help you through the design phase so that you get exactly what you need. They will also make sure that if you are too far from the tower you don't waste your money.

My apartment is about 1300 sqft. and i get reception pretty much everywhere in apt. From this range extender. Obviously the further away I am from the device the weaker the signal.

You need to get the kit if you don't already have the indoor and outdoor antennas setup. Basically it's a repeater. Boosting the signal inside. Call Willsons sales line the can explain everything.

I would recommend the Kaito KA-33 indoor shortwave active loop from CCrane Co. There are many outdoor antennas available including do-it-yourself projects but lightning arrestors and proper gronding come into play.

yes. You can set it either one as access point by cable and get faster connection.. You must have a big house or business. Try moving your Amped to the center of your Home or Business area. this baby can cover a very large area.

I have been told that a second inside antenna is a waste of money and will not increase signal. I tried it. It has been suggested that raising the outside antenna is best, and have it pointing to the nearest tower.

You can use the Ubiquiti Unifi outdoor AP for this. If you do not have clear line of site to the office you can also attach the outdoor unit to a Ubiquiti sectional antenna to enhance signal to the office.

I would go with the more expensive boosters for basement applications. I am on the first floor and have it mounted to the top of a window next to my desk. Signal strength goes from one bar to four most of the time. They have a unit that is mounted to the roof and boosts the signal for everywhere in the house. It was about $150 last time I checked, and it was well rated.

I have a couple sites where I used two units to get coverage for the entire floor. As long as you use the same SSID and password for the APs, you should have a hard time with going between the one with stronger signal.

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.

It will probably improve your 4G data signal but you will also need a 3G amplifier to improve phone call reception. That will require two amplifiers and outside antennas. The cost of amplifiers, antennas, cables etc. adds up. Wilson sells a 3G/4G amplifier, also very expensive. Check the signal strength on your roof where the antenna would be and do some reading on Wilson's website.

If it is a matter of not having signal inside the house, the device will definitely help. The antena should be placed on the outside on high ground, it will pick it up and repeat it down. If signal in general is poor in the area, even in high ground, it might not make the trick. Write to the manufacturer, their customer service is great. It doesn't need to talk to any other devices.

Hi Elisabeth. If I was going to buy an indoor antenna I would go with the largest amplified model. However, if you are in an area where you are over 35 miles from the stations or where you can put up an outdoor antenna you will probably get better reception and there are models in the same price range.

You have to set it up where there is at least a 70% signal. So it may not work for you. If I were you I would contact Amped Wireless and find out if they have a device that would work or if they could offer some other suggestions.

I don't think that will be a problem for you at all. We have a smaller house but live on several acres and I have been probably 20-30 yards away and still had reception. Just watch the battery. Keep it plugged in unless you need to walk off

This going to be a stretch. You will need to place the extender as far in the direction of coverage as you can. Preferably use the device you will be using in the new coverage area and find a spot which has at least one bar of signal strength from the base unit. Set up extender in this area. You may be able to get a weak signal at your desired area but this will be a stretch. If you can, put your base unit and the extender in the attic where ther will be fewer obstructions in the signal path or use two extenders.

yes you can use this antenna to improve the signal and it can significantly boost your signal about roughly 20-30 more yards than what your factory antenna can. If you house is horizontally with rooms and TV's and microwaves and other electronics interfering with the signal then expect bad signal response. I have tried it with router down stairs west wall to up stairs far east wall with chimney in the way and it still works great. my friends tap off my wireless router 3 houses down the street with 70% signal still. I would recommend this product highly. My first one I bought was defective but my second one works great. remember doesn't improve internet speed just signal. most people forget or just didn't know.
