Wireless Extenders Yx 510-Pcs/Cel Dual-Band Cellular Phone Signal Booster

Editorial Review:

The Wi-Ex zBoost cell zone signal booster is a revolutionary, patent-pending new product that improves indoor cell phone coverage. zBoost captures the wireless signal outside, brings it inside and enhances, or boosts it - extending a cell zone in your home or office or your car.
Satisfy all your cellular phone needs with the Wireless Extenders YX510-PCS/CEL zBoost zP Wireless Booster, which works with both cellular frequencies (800 and 1900 MHz) and can extend cellular coverage up to 2500 square feet. This unit can handle signals from all the major cellular carriers, including AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, and Alltel. The package includes everything you need: amplifier base unit, power supply, base unit antenna, low-loss SATV coaxial cable (RG6), signal antenna and mounting hardware. The omni-directional signal antenna receives signals from multiple cell towers.

Improve your cell signal with the dual-band YX510-PCS/CEL--perfect for boosting the signal of AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon frequencies up to 2500 square feet.
Using a revolutionary, patent pending technology that protects the carrier network, the YX300 improves indoor cell phone coverage by capturing and repeating the outside signal, bringing it into the building and enhancing it. This process creates a "Cell Zone" in your home or office. The Wireless Extenders zBoost system includes:
Outdoor antenna (repeats the signal) can be installed outdoors above the roofline or indoors in the attic or near a window
Coax cable (RG6- ultra low-loss, DBS satellite) connects from the outdoor antenna to the base unit
Base unit: Sleekly designed, it amplifies the signal and provides oscillation detection/correction which protects the carrier network using patent-pending technology.
Indoor antenna connects to the base unit to repeat the signal and create "Cell Zone"--no physical connection to the phone is needed.
Installation
Choosing the best location for installation of the Signal Antenna provides the best performance and the largest area of improved signal. Determine the location that provides the strongest signal using the signal strength indicator on your cell phone. For the best reception, find the location that provides the most bars of signal strength and locate the Signal Antenna at that location.

We now have service inside:

We live in a rural area and in a bit of a hollow. Sometimes phone would ring if it was on window sill, but we had to go outside to send or receive calls, at 1-2 bars.
On our roof, I registered 3 bars
Tried this unit as a mid-priced possibility.
I have antennae mounted 3 feet above chimney. I used a length of 3/4 inch PVC pipe with a 3/4 inch coupler on the end. The co-ax slides up the pipe, screws onto the antennae and the antennae fits perfectly into the coupler for a snug fit.

Wireless Booster:

I received the booster quickly. I fastened the antenna to a stick to extend it as high in the attic as possible. I located the Booster in a small closet in the middle of our house. We went from a 1 bar and dropped calls to a steady 3 bars and no dropped calls in our home.

Quick background: I research almost any product I purchase by reading the online reviews and taking the "Best product ever" and the "Not worth a dime" reviews with a grain of salt, then averaging all the others. That said, I decided to purchase the Zboost 510-PCS/CEL. I live in a location where Verizon says I am between three towers (the dead zone)and where the guy with the glasses and his network team that they show on TV, won't come. I work from my house and have about 2-3 locations inside where I can... more info

It does work but it is not easy to set up:

Until we got the zboost set up we could not get service at all in the house. This is not good because I have clients trying to reach me on my cell phone. I needed to at least be able to check messages on my cell. I could get one and maybe two bars outside on my balcony of my two story house. By setting up the zboost in my office with the antenae at the hightest peak of a catherdral ceiling. I am now able to get one and sometimes two bars inside sitting at my desk with the amplifier next to me.
