Weboost Home Basic cell phone signal booster! It works

- I install the Weboost basic home cell phone signal booster at our country property. I speed test the upload and download speeds before and after install. The main purpose of adding a signal booster for me was to be able to upload CZcams videos quicker and be able to live stream better. This signal booster should also help anyone using Microsoft teams and ZOOM for online streaming. The basic model Weboost will work with AT&T and Verizon only, you need the Weboost Home for other carriers like Sprint and Us cellular.
PLEASE READ! The link below WAS the booster used in this video, it seems Weboost has changed the design and I have NOT tested the new design that's now showing. I am providing a link to another video below where I tested another antenna booster that's very affordable.

Don't think you mentioned this from the ad on Amazon: "PROUDLY AMERICAN - The only booster designed, assembled, and tested in the USA: Our products are not manufactured in China "
which is a real plus for me.
You are correct! I remember reading that and feeling a little excited about it! Great point!
That ladder climb.. yikes. Thanks for the install vid!
Andrew, you've just made a bunch of folks very happy! Now we know a good way to increase our rural cellular connection! Really appreciate the great information. Just ordered one through your affiliate link to give it a try. Thanks!
Thanks Doug! I hope it works well for you. We mostly see the increase in upload speed, but there is a definite improvement in download speed too. We sat in our metal shop streaming music and CZcams at the same time last night. Before that wasn't possible. Not to mention we doubled our bars in the shop too.
@@TKCL Yeah, I couldn't believe the difference in your video after you set it up and switched it on versus normal! I'm not expecting much based on my location but for a few dollars it's absolutely worth a try. I appreciate the information! Hope you and Tiffany are having a good weekend!
Thanks, we are doing well! Take care
Glad it works! Don’t know what took you so long!! More people just need to take the leap and get one that works for them. It is well worth it.
I absolutely need it now that CZcams is such a big part of our life! I just didn't believe they worked, happy to say it does.
Dang man, that’s great!! Glad that worked so well for you. I’m interested to see how the LIVE streaming works this weekend and a review on it after a few months of use! Also, I’ve got another idea I will email you about. It may not be something you need right now because you have this setup, but I think it would be helpful once you have your house built. Excellent video!
Thanks! I'm excited to see how livestreams do. My CZcams video uploading has increased dramatically, the speed is several times quicker than it was before the booster.
2 things.. you have your roof mounted antenna aiming at the antenna across your ridged roof panels that scatter the incoming signal. if you have enough cable.. can you move it to the other end of the roof. even if you are just doing it nailed to a 2x4 leaning against the far wall of the shop.. so you are NOT receiving over the ridges of the roof. also not sending out signal across the ridges of the roof..
2 move the inside antenna around.. you may want to dangle it on something dangling from the roof rafters so it will still transmit and receive inside the building but it won't be shielded in the corner its just a thought..
and again.. you need to find somebody who has a utility pole installation truck with the big hydrauilc motor on the boom to put you in some long power pole anchors around your buildings.. allowing you to throw stainless steel banding over the roofs and binding them down to reduce future wind damage. you may put bands around the building also.. there are also ways to drill holes in the side of some tubes and driving them in the ground instead of anchors.. then driving long pieces of rebar thru the holds into the ground at angles.. making it really hard to pull out of the ground..
I probably could improve the signal, but it's working extremely well. I uploaded 3 CZcams videos today (unheard for me) and two of them in under 45 minutes. Sometimes this would take many hours. No dropped calls, streaming better than I ever have and download is no issue in the metal building. Long story short, I'm very pleased with the results.
I'd STRONGLY advise caulking around the point where you drilled through the roof to prevent long term issues with the wood trusswork as the rain runs down the pole and against the beam.
I can do that, but the wood I screwed to was pressure treated FYI
@@TKCL Nice! It looked untreated from the video so I wanted to at least raise concern if in case it wasn't.
Thats awesome Andrew, it's nice when a plan comes together.
I am really excited about this helping our CZcams channel!
Your review was very helpful. I just ordered one using your store.
Thank You
Dale
Thank you, glad you found it helpful. I have not had a single dropped call since installing this a few months back.
Wow a night & day difference!!!!! The live stream should be awesome this Sunday!!!!! I can't wait!!!!! I ordered me a log ox on Amazon & I made sure I did it through your amazon store so you can get the money. I don't know how much you make but I hope it helps.....
Thank you very much Rodney! Every little bit helps. Looking forward to testing the live stream, sadly the rain chance is extremely high.
thank you for the video i just ordered the same kit for work im going to do a sneaky install so management doesnt see it. ill be back to gaming at work in no time!
Just installed Weboost Home Studio on my travel trailer. I went from 1.5mb/s to almost 18mb/s!!! My RV lost is way way way from the closest Tmobile/Sprint antenna.
Thank you for your vid!
Awesome, glad that worked well too! Mine is still working great
That's great! I get 200mbs download with Comcast but less than 5mbs upload speed. My cell service is about the same as yours here in southern NJ. Thanks for sharing. -Ed
That's amazing download, but horrible upload. I'm blown away at how much my upload increased, I'm uploading videos quicker than ever.
That’s crazy!! Great job, that has to be a huge relief.
It is! This will definitely help our CZcams channel!
Now that's what I call rocking and rolling. Great educational video.
Thanks! Not my normal video, but worth sharing in my opinion. It's truly going to change the way we do CZcams.
Fantastic I’ll try this at our cabin in the hills of Tennessee
Hope it works as well for you as it has us. We enjoyed excellent signal and streaming in our metal building last night.
Great video!! Very informative, nice to see that the product actually worked that well!
I was pleasantly surprised!
That’s great that it works! Thanks for sharing this information!
It should really help out CZcams channel!
That was a great review! Really helpful! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching, it's still working great for me.
That booster will be nice for you. Your live streams shouldnt be as much of an issue anymore.
I hope that is true
Hey man first time I've checked you out ever but good video brave on the latter there well heres my comment I have very little experience with weboost but I have every reason to believe its great how ever I've lots of experience with antennas and knowing how well that system. Worked for you if you made a couple more fairly simple changes I know for a fact wouldn't cost much but ill bet would have that video uploaded in about 15 min. Maybe less not sure but the change is to your outside antenna do some research find a yagi directional beam Antenna the more the elements the more the gain and the more important it is that your rite on your target also really not sure how it apply here but using a metal mast pole getting as high as possible in the air as safety as possible even if guying the mast is nessasery also helps there's a couple of things about what I've mentioned one is everything I said may not be necessary for you to reach maximum signal and once max. Is reached there is no more but two there most likely is people out there who due two there distances from the towers will need to do everything I said plus very good grounding will make their cell speeds very very good with these weboost systems the outside antenna and how well is setup can make a world of difference on how well the inside part works ok my apinuion only im not affiliated with weboost or anyone else for that matter just thought I would let people know that there are ways to improve or even make these things work if they were unable to get anything and its not that hard to go from nothing to a whole lot without spending a lot of money ok hope you guys the best and that this helps atheist one person it would be great if it were many but one would do God bless
Thank you for the feedback and tips
Awesome signal boost!!! Have you and Tiff checked your unamplified phone use capabilities in the storm shelter??
The signal booster saves you from having to run 18 miles south to use McDonald's WiFi... to Upload.
Yes, I actually live streamed from the shelter the other day during an ACTUAL tornado! It was very unexpected being winter time, thankfully it stayed north of us. If I can live stream, there is absolutely no issues texting or making calls.
You forgot to close the door in the laundry room on your "after" test. Not a big deal if it's a wooden door, but a major difference if it's a metal door. Great video overall, though!
No it's a hollow wooden door, no difference. I've already tested it a lot more and it really does work everywhere in the metal shop.
great info, I need to try that at my place... Thanks..
Hope it works for you!
Sweet so that mean we should have more videos per day???? 😆 I wonder if they make a booster to improve the performance of your dump trailer 🤔🤔🤔🤔😜
More videos yes!! Dump trailer nooooo!
Compre un weboost Modelo 460061 y no aumenta mi señal disculpa que devo hacer a que funcione o tengo que descargar algún aplicación para mi celular gracias
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the information.
Any time!
Good test.
Thanks
You're upload increased by 800%
How does this thing work exactly?
Happy for ya bud!
Me too, hopefully this improves live streams.
So were any trees in the line of sight to the cell tower?
Yes over a mile of trees.
I’m interested
I just bought a similar product and it says you have to register with cell phone provider. Did you do that? I called AT&T and they had no idea what I was talking about
Nope, I've never known any one to do that. Makes no sense
Hi there! Hoping you might be able to help with my Weboost? It works great but as you know, you can't go more than a few feet from the interior antenna or it will stop working. We use our Weboost mainly at our cabin. Do you know if it is possible to set up either a router or a repeater type system with the Weboost in order to get more distance from the interior antenna? Thank much for any info you can share. Rich W.
I am not sure about that, but I can go 50ft away from mine and it works great. Not sure why you can only go a couple of feet. Something doesn't sound correct
Fast speed now 👍👍
Well, faster! Still not fancy DSL like you city people have lol 🤣
(Some reason my comment keeps disappearing)
To get decent internet in where we are, I built a 100' tower at the top of our mountain and rented it to a local wireless ISP that provides service into our valley and the other side of the mountain. They pay me enough to cover our property tax + some and we get 50mb service included. In your flat terrain, probably take a lot shorter tower. You might look into it if you have a wireless ISP locally. Email me if you want more details (reply here so I know to go LOOK at that email address listed here which I don't use for normally email.)
I seen it, weird why it's dissappearing. I responded to it as well.
@@TKCL Yeah, I got the notification bell thing, saw you'd responded, came back to look...nothing ! Weird.
Currently unavailable
They sell out often
I have all green lights and 0signal
Did you have some sort of signal to boost before installing? Are you 100 percent confident you are aimed in the proper direction? Use cellmapper.net to find your nearest tower.
@@TKCL yes I even adapted 2 antennas custom splinter now I have all green lights but 0 signal . And ok I will look for the cell tower again
why not starlink
Not available here yet! I've already pre-ordered
Never coil your coax keep it from a coil
Why is that? Does it hurt signal?
@@TKCL Yes weakens you signal
I am looking to purchase a chainsaw what do u recommend my budget is around $420
Stihl ms271 farm boss for that budget if you could up it another 150 then get the ms261cm. Either of those saws are great homeowner saws, the 261 is a step above with more power and lighter weight.
Is the 290 any good
@@chrisavila2073 that's an older discontinued saw. The 291 replaced it. Yes that's another common saw
@@TKCL thank God I live next to a stihl dealer look out my window and there next to me I am getting the 271 thank you for the advice
Your welcome! If they can fit the 291 in your budget it's worth the step up. Just not sure if they can get it down to your price. Most Stihl dealers don't negotiate much.
If u use the app pdanet+/netshare and expressVPN u can get unlimited hotspot and never any throttling
