A couple of questions 1. Do you now have ATT connected inside your house? 2. Do you now have ATT internet connected? 3. Do you have a ATT MicroCell? Your cell phone needs a connection, generally to the nearest cell tower. If you are connected, but have a weak, or no cell phone reception, then you should have a MicroCell. They are generally put in a window to get a clear shot to the sky, but if you don't have open space for the MicroCell to see satellites, it doesn't help you much. Get this antenna, and put it where it has the largest unobstructed view of the sky. Connect it to your MicroCell. It will connect with the satellites and and give you amazing connection. I had 0-1 bars, with the MicroCell, before I got the antenna. Now, I have 5 continuous bars. You will get signal degradation if the satellites are out of orbit to connect you, so you may get signal disruption for 30-60 minutes (randomly)/day. Definitely worth it to get the antenna

Place the microcell's GPS antenna in or outside a window (best a south-facing window). Connect the micrcell to the router with an Ethernet cable. Power up the microcell. Go to AT&T;'s website and follow their directions to activate your phone(s) on the system. Wait a few minutes. Restart the phone. Your phone should get five bars!

This Antenna needs to be hooked up to a AT&T; Microcell... contact AT&T; for instructions as to where you can purchase.

You have to have a land line. They said they are working on the unit to be able to call cell phone. The system works well other than that

You will have to call the cellular carrier in those areas and find out what band they operate on.

You need an outside antenna or a good window for the regular antenna that comes with the unit. It must have a southern view. I needed to do that at 2 locations in on my property. As long as you have the antennas set up with a good southern view of the sky, you should be able to get a good signal.

If you are getting only one or two bars (dots) on your cell phone while outside, don't expect much on the inside. You will probably be able to talk and text inside, as long as you do it very near (within 3 ft. of the transmitter). This is what I am having to do. I also have a weak signal where I live.

You need the range extender if there is anywhere you want to carry your phone that is not serviced by the signal. If you have metal siding on your house place it in a window where there's a good signal and it will more than double your range outside.

How far from the cell site are you? I get three bars when I hang it in the window in the direction of the cell site. I am back in the woods. AT&T; store can tell you location of cell site.

Yes you can, but the base unit uses a landline, these are not cell phones. Hope this helps.

I actually spoke to My cellular phone carrier prior to purchasing this unit and they told me it's an indoor unit no parts of it should be outdoors it's an indoor antenna so the elements will effect and probably have damaged your unit.

Buy a plug for your phone that feeds two phones. Then plug the upstairs phone into one plug. Measure the distance then buy an ordinary phone wire that length with the connectors already installed. Buy a phone wire to wire connector. plug one end into the upstairs feeder plug, run the wire downstairs and plug them together with the wire to wire connector. Buy them anywhere that sells electronic stuff. I got mine at radio Shack. Total cost about $10.00. See Tim's answer.

I live in a 2100 square-feet home, I receive 4bars Wi-Fi throughout my home. I can get 1 bar WIFI signal on my cell phone when I am about 100 yards away from the nighthawk router.

With your cell (att,t-mobile...etc) provider. Need to use GSM. And put a simm card in it. Used anywhere you get service. Don't get over your data limit.

Plug it into your MiFi and move it to different areas of your home to see where the best signal is. The mobile hotspot solved my problem.

I'm sorry, how do you think you get service? You can leave a handset on the base to answer from it....
