Great information. Glad that it worked out for you!
I bought one of these and installed it in the mountains of NH. Went from 0-1 bars to 4-5 bars LTE (Verizon). As for the 5G TMobile Home Internet, it uses both 5G and 4G bands. This booster certainly helped out the TMobile 5G Home Internet as well! I was shocked and glad I have full cellular and 5G internet in an off-grid situation. Amazing!
Awesome, happy to hear that.
you have a delightful, easy going style. it extends a comforting sense of "you can do this"... to some pretty state of the art knowledge you are blessed with experience in! Bravo
Thank you for the kind words.
Thank you for this. We are finally able to move to an old farmhouse in the country and cell signal will be about what you are getting. Huge help
Glad it helped!
Great review and your honesty is really genuine. Don't change and you'll subscribe count will continue to grow.
Finally! I have been looking for someone to address aesthetics. I surely would never get my wife on board with the booster (with 2 coaxial cables, and the power cord) mounted out in plain sight. This is exactly how I will install mine. Only the indoor antenna needs to be visible. Thank you.
You are a great teacher buddy. Thanks for making it easy for a low tech guy like me! 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!

Another amazing video. The house is really coming along.
Thank you
One of the best reviews I've watched on youtube. Thanks so much.
Glad you enjoyed it
Outstanding. Congratulations on the boosted signal. You didn't loose much beard hair. You do the best product testing videos. Thanks Andrew.
I actually cut a lot off when it's said and done.

Great video Andrew. Thanks for sharing all the info. By the way, the house is looking great. Y'all take care and God Bless.
Thank you very much, God bless!
Hi, Andrew! As always, this is an excellent video and the installation was well planned. I am getting excited for the time when you can move into your dream home. All the inside projects will be fun and interesting.
Thank you very much, I love these finer details.

Nice video. When I relied on hotspot, id always put my phone in the window. My old phone didn't support connecting to more than one band. Now, my new phone does and my speeds went from 3mbps down in the window to usually around 20Mbps. Seen high as 80 once. Upload chills around 2-3Mbps in the window.
Thank you for the information. Didn’t know about the signal app.
Your welcome!
Excellent Job You get a Gold star!
Andrew I have to say you have a great attic space. Love how you have it lit up and you can walk around it with no problem. The house is looking great..
I really enjoy the attic too.
Hi Andrew! Your review is amazing and Hiboost is very impressive!!!
Thank you for watching
Built a pole barn house with no cell service inside. Installed booster and Love my booster!
They work!
I have a 40 by 40 metal building, no windows. Bought one of these repeaters, best thing I ever bought!!
Me too, I thought they were a scam. They really work!
Andrew stepping up his speed throughput, nice🙏
Well I have to do something since Starlink is taking so long!
Deano here from Biloxi, MS, USA!! Great video!! Can't wait to see your other stuff!!
Thank you for watching
Great review! (PS: I am hardly getting stuff done in my own home 'caz I'm glued to your videos -- can't wait for you to move in!)
Excellent video! I'm just researching about this and I'll be buying this.
Make sure you watch my newest video, their new system works even better. ua-cam.com/video/LZ9KL1O_reI/v-deo.html
As a former cell phone company field worker. I went out an bought a universal cell phone signal booster for my RV and a portable one for my work truck. Never dropped a call. It was less expensive than the ones offer by the cell phone company that I worked for. At remote locations where there was no cell phone coverage I would open up the RV windows and let my neighbors used it
Can you please share which product you bought?
I need the same product too

Excellent tutorial!
love the ending!
It happens
I have the same booster and it works great. Works much much better than the comparable we-boost booster. Went from 1 bar outside to full bars inside watching Netflix and UA-cam.
Does this help your wifi your just your cellular
This boosts cellular signal only. Unless you have a cellular wifi router.
did you have a weboost before?
Hi Andrew the we boost seems to be a good idea. Your review was excellent, thanks. 🇨🇦
Thank you for watching
relaxing outdoor beard trimming!! oh and the antenna booster was cool as well!!
Lol
Great video hoss! Thank you for using lingo that is easy for anyone to understand... Sadly many DIY channels do not do this. Much love from Minnesota!
Glad to help
Great video! You can now have the weather channel on while you work instead of silence! Though I just keep looking at that wall where the stairs will eventually be...When I built my last stairs I just bought 2 2x12x16', cut out the risers and treads from a premade strip, braced the ground end, screwed in to the ledger board, leveled the treads and built a landing where it needed to go. Not a bit of math, but they turned out beautiful none the less. Dying to see how you build the right way, know I'll have to wait though... I could have used your info when I installed my weeboost decades ago. But trial and error also works :) LOVED the ending...Sorry the spray foam went wild on ya, been there done that! I kinda like getting it on my hands. After I'm done for the day sit and pick it off...But in hair? Yikes! I've ruined so many shirts and pants as well as shoes...You'd think I'd learn.."I'll be careful" doesn't work with spray foam!
Lol that stuff wasn't coming out for nothing!
Thanks for making this video!
Your welcome
Thanks for your information…
Thanks man need one for are camping trailer your a big help.
Glad you enjoyed it
I enjoy these types of videos having to do about cell phone cellular data or mobile data we call it here in europe.
Great video
Thank You!!!! EXCELLENT video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Over the years I've used cellphones of various types and played around with passive boosters on the phones themselves,on vehicles,and on a house or two,I've noticed my need to boost signals is less than it used to be. I think phones are better and they do add towers still to this day both of which help alot of course. My current home happens to have a tower within about 1/2 mile so my now broken LG phone always had max signal,the lower level Samsung I replaced it with is only 2-3 bars on average,so phone ability matters too. I am absolutely convinced that powered units do have their good uses,like you showed here. I am also convinced that sometimes,some folks,might only need a lesser passive boost just to bump it up a bit and stabilize it for reliability.
Off topic a bit- The absolute worst piece of crap phone signal-wise I owned was a Motorola StarTac(around year 2000),I finally got so frustrated with it I opened it and ran it over with my 96 Silverado 4x4 several times which didn't kill it! LOL. Why makes a phone with such horrible signal so damn tough?!?! Other than signal I liked that flip phone alot,but it was for shit at it's main purpose. I went to LG and stayed with them for 20 years until just recently.
Before about the year 1998 Motorola made their stuff to be tough and used to be good; radios, pagers, cell phones, etc. But then they got behind with technology advancements and they split into 2 different companies in 2011 which both now make terrible products IMO.

Hello Andrew Great Review. I got fed up with my Cable Provider last year and cancelled House Phone, Internet and TV and I was able to Get StarLink and Love it I am in Northern NJ and the Internet is on 24x7. I have the first Revision with the Round Dish and Attached Cable I see the Revision 2 it is a Square Dish with the Cable that can be removed from the dish which I like better because if you damage the cable you can just replace the cable not have to replace the entire dish. What I found interesting is being where I live we get that white stuff that falls from the sky (Snow). They updated my software in the winter and the dish actual has heaters in it that melts the snow, I thought that was cool. Love your House build looks like you are almost to the Finish Line and ready to move in.
That is cool! No snow here, but a awesome thought on their part. I keep praying for the email that says mine is shipping.
im glad i found this channel
Welcome!
Andrew - you don't play around! Thank you for such a in-depth video my friend.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video thank you
Thanks for a very informative video!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you
Much appreciated. I ordered one.
Enjoy, I hope it works as well for you as it has for us.
Amazboost is a cheaper and to me a better system using cables that are more common. You can also purchase another indoor antenna that is ceiling mount that will provide a better signal throughout your home. Regardless, love watching your videos. You are extremely through! Keep it up!
I seen that brand too, never used it.
I bought all my items on eBay separately. I have made a dual yagi antenna. I attached a in ground lighting rod, to antenna and house. Have had mine up for 2 years, use my unlimited data with visible for $ 25 bucks a month for telephone and internet.
We have visible for our phones, sadly this router doesn't take cell phone plans.
Just personal experience, having installed a couple of these on our old ranch house with a metal roof (and almost no signal indoors), I found the WeBoost to be considerably superior product in terms of it's boost abilities. Perhaps others will have different experiences.
I love mine, but I am pleased with the results of this one as well. I am getting similar results as the Weboost that I have in my shop. I don't think you can go wrong with either.
It worked for me. I went from 3 bars to one when ATT sold out to Verizon. I had a booster but it wasn’t much help. First I checked the frequency and yes it is compatible for both providers. I raised the antenna temporarily using a piece of pvc pipe higher above the metal roof. Instantly saw increased signal. Next step was to make a higher mast to get the best line of sight. Big boost! While rerouting the in cable I noticed great variations in reception. By placing the cable in the attic in several locations I found the best signal location. Note make sure this cable has no overlaps or even close proximity to the rest of the cable. It can parasite itself and cancel out.
Use a cell booster femtocell
Interesting video. Cell towers polarize ar 45 degrees from vertical. You might improve signal by tilting the antenna.
You do a great job creating content!
Thank you
Great review i have that same antenna for my cell camera on the pig trap...
Nice!
Every time I see the glass fronted cabinet in your kitchen I want to put the shelves in line with the window frames so the shelves are not seen ...yes I have OCD tendency too lol .Best wishes from the North Norfolk coast UK
Lol I just tossed the shelves in for now, we will rearrange everything once Tiffany brings dishes in.
Oh Andrew you have made an old woman very happy lol❤❤😀
Thank you so much for this video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
I came for the antenna, I stayed for the beard foam!
thank you VERY MUCH! I needed this
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@TKCL I laughed at the blooper at the end the MOST! it was awesome. I'm going to check out your other videos today. Also - just ordered the Hiboost using your affiliates link! I appreciate you.
I like my Wilson cell booster. It works great!
I've heard good things about that company.
And they're also very expensive.
I really enjoyed this.
Glad you enjoyed it
Metal roofs are the best. When it rains here it is so soothing. Except all the flooding we are getting in Kentucky at the moment. I'm in a holler, I wonder if something like this would work here.
Those hills definitely block signal. Stay safe!
Oscillation is a big factor in good download speeds. I find it dosnt effect upload speeds. I have a cheepy off Amazon and it works but it's not actually able to give us all the bands I would like to boost. Was thinking of getting a high boost and I just might.
Good advice.
What I don’t know is whether I need one in the city here, my inside signal poor.
I also why you don’t see this type product in any store. And I see no ads for workers doing antenna installations.
Most cell phone companies offer these. I honestly don't know why more people don't use them.
I've got that spray foam on me and it just drives me crazy growl Raw
I've never got it everywhere like that! It's there to stay sadly!
I live in the country...and prior to owning a cell phone booster I could only get cell phone reception if I stood in the right spot in my driveway..after I installed a cell phone booster I now get reception any where in my house .. if a person has a reception problem do to distance I seriously recommend getting one ..Oo ya I now get 4 bars..
I agree
Not sure if someone else has suggested this, but you should probably weather proof the coax connector that is outside before it fills with water.
Nearly there!
The first thing I thought when the video started was DAMN that kitchen :O
Good stuff! We've had the weBoost home multi room booster for 2 years now, down here outside of Spartanburg. It recently gave out and we've been looking for an alternative product to hopefully get us some signal gains, as well at hotspot internet. Thanks!
I'm doing an entire series on cellular internet right now, you might want to start watching it. It's leaps and bounds above a simple hot-spot system.
@@TKCL do you have a source for gaming internet in the country ?
No idea, don't game
Holy cow batman, 265,000 views!! Waaaahooo 🥳 Congrats! Fyi... I'm watching all of your videos in order from the beginning.
Awesome! Thank you for watching so much content.
I just got the att hotspot plan here in rural Michigan and it works great. The best part is by adding auto pay to my account which has 3 lines on it nocked $40 off my bill which makes my hotspot only $10 a month! Anyone with att needs to look into this.
Wow that's an amazing price! What router did you go with?
@@TKCL Netgear M1 with a two 30in Omni directional antennas mounted on the roof.
Thanks for posting this review, and mentioning the apps used. I'm using them now to do some research before making a decision on a booster. We also live in a rural area and depend on T-Mobile's Home Internet Service for internet and we also use T-Mobile for our mobile phone service. There is only one location in our entire home where the home internet gateway (router) gets a decent signal and provides a fairly consistent 70Mbs download and 12Mbs upload. Since I work remotely from home, this is critical; and it has worked well for over 2 years, but our phone connections are always "iffy" at best, even with WiFi calling enabled. This seems like it would solve that annoyance and at the same time improve internet speeds.
Your welcome, thanks for watching
In your case WiFi calling is not going to help you as your internet is using the same thing. Booster is only way to help.
70mbs?! I have 30 and its great.
@@grzegorz16100 I saw a video on UA-cam where a guy does a full, in-depth review of T-Mobile Home Internet service and hardware. He showed the speed he was getting via a wireless connection to the T-Mobile gateway/router vs a wired connection. The wired connection was much faster. When I saw that, I disabled the Wireless on my T-Mobile gateway/router and attached my own router, which provides wired connections for my home/office computers and also WiFi connections to our TVs, mobile devices, etc. If you have a PC that you can hook to one of the wired ports and do a speed test, I think you'll discover the same thing... wired is faster than wireless. Also, I'm using the old white T-Mobile router that is 4G. The new round grey ones with 5G don't work very well in my area.
I’m just gonna 😂 lol 😂. Great video to .
Just watched this episode on a Oculus VR headset on UA-cam VR app 😮 I swear I was standing in the loft with you, specs of white paint on your thumb, and Bullet barking in the house made me want to look behind me 😳 you’ve got to check that out sometime! LOL
Say what? I didn't realize UA-cam offered something like that!
The headset is Oculus Quest 2
Good info! Laughed when I saw the spray foam in your beard, sorry, not sorry. 😁
Lol
I’d get home internet ugh. I live in the sticks and my signal here is -120dB or one bar and if my internet’s out there’s little chance I can use any data but I’ve had a booster like yours sitting in a box in the closet for years now so maybe I’ll put it in someday.
Not sure if this is already been mentioned or not but you having a metal roof most likely remove your need for a 20 foot vertical separation and the two antennas
Best to amplify RF signals directly at the external antenna, yagi or dish and not after a length of cable.. Make a water tight box for the amp and mount it as close to the external antenna with a N to N connector. Should provide an additional 3-4 dB of gain
I'm looking for the best options for my old Japanese house in the country. Currently, the only way I can get cell signal is to go outside, away from the house. The original thatched roof is still on it, but it is also covered by a copper roof. The signal is absolutely killed indoors!
That's where these devices shine, they bring that signal from outside to indoors.
If you have multiple cell towers near enough, it's possible to aim a directional antenna at each and use a combiner to improve download performance. I wouldn't exceed three antennas due to cost and the availability of 3-input combiners.
In your particular case, an omnidirectional antenna mounted high enough to clear your local trees might be your best solution but would need lightning protection. Have you considered putting up a Rohn tower? 😉
I'm satisfied with our current signal, a tower is more work than it's worth for my particular situation.
Where do you get a combiner? All I saw was one that does lower spectrum and higher spectrum
Hii,Kelly thanks a lot for the video,you made me choose this amplifier! I am from country Georgia and gonna have in Caucasus mountains where two GSM network companies are operating,both provides 4G 800 MHz (B20) would this booster work with this frequency?
and second question please,as there is two company operating and we have little signal from both of them,can I choose the one I want to catch the signal from and boost it? or this amplifier does it for both signals at the same time or how this works? thanks a lot!
I have a WeBoost and I was able to mount my indoor antenna many feet away from the booster. I don’t recall if I purchased additional coax for the indoor antenna.
I work on cell phones and i learned from where I work at right now when i get to work i have to turn airplane mode on and off to force it to switch towers and do the same when i get home. hope this helps you some.
Hey... The house is amazing! I'm surprised you haven't got starlink yet. I was on the list for starlink for a year and about 2 weeks .. I finally got the email that it was available to me in mid February 2022 and promptly ordered it. It was delivered about a week and a half later. I love it. Hopefully you are close to getting that same email. The sooner the better. One thing about starlink... they have gone up in monthly fee by $10. They say it's due to current inflation. Not a deal breaker for me... but good fyi for those that don't know.
I'll gladly pay the increase if it's as promised.
It's also worth noting.. If you think you will need the Ethernet adapter, order it as soon as you are able. Basically order starlink... Then a few minutes later go on their shop page and order the Ethernet adapter. I did this and it took over a month to get the adapter.
I see they are back ordered, I tried to order the adapter and the mounting pole. They won't let me order until they ship out my dish.
@@TKCL. Another tip.. when you get your starlink and you are ready to permanently install it. If you are going to drill a hole in the wall for the cable to pass through and you want the smallest hole possible without cutting and splicing the cable...Drill a hole big enough for the dish end of the cable. A 3/4" hole is barely big enough if my memory serves. If you use the router end of the cable... It's a bigger hole... 1" hole might be big enough.
If you have any friends that get starlink before you.. you can always see if they will order it for you. I'd order it for you but being in Texas...it isn't much of a benefit being It'd have to be shipped to me and then to you.

Thanks
Lol… I was just thinking what does he have in his beard… then I got my answer. It got a rather boisterous laugh out of me even while (or perhaps because) I felt your pain. Good review. Thanks.
I tried dissolving it and ripping it out for about 20 minutes 🤦
Obviously without internet it's pretty difficult to use WiFi calling. However, I know with my iPhone if you do WiFi calling mode with Airplane mode on it will force WiFi calling to work all the time and save your phone from searching for signal. Thus eliminating the need for the booster.
I would have thought you would have wanted to install the indoor antenna on the wood facing down as that is most typical for those antennas. The way you have it a lot of the signal is wasted sent to the roof.
Probably another good test is for multiple people to use their phones at the same time.
Hey love your channel!! What part of Florida ya'll live in. I live in Pensacola and want to build a barndominium. I was wondering about hurricanes. Thanks Michael
We are east of Tallahassee, you'll probably have higher wind load requirements than us as we are in hurricane zone 2. Just work with a engineer and they shouldn't have a problem getting you qualified.
Do you need a modem for this set up? Or do you just insert the sim card from cell service provider and you're good to go? Thank you for video and your time. Have a Goodin' !
Neither, this boosts available signal as is. No Sim or anything else needed.
great video! quick question, near me are three towers, I seem to switch between the three depending on which gives the best service. 2/3 of the towers bands are supported by the booster. I have bands 2, 12 and 66. The booster supports 2, and 12 but not 66. Is this okay? or do i need to get a booster that supports all three?
I believe I'm only supporting 1 band and it's still working great for me.
Andrew would the “future invisible stairwell to the loft” run from the outside wall to the center ish of the loft following the angle of the roof -or - center of room to the edge of the loft ? Leaving a dead spot behind stairs to outside wall
Outside wall to center
Yeah I just build a new house and put a metal roof on it and now my cell service is down to one and two bars I definitely need something
Made a big difference for me.
Awesome. :)
In my experience if you’re getting above 5 Mbps download you can handle UA-cam stuff. You should be able to do your phone stuff and stream UA-cam with the 10+ pretty easily. If you go to 4K you might have a little more problem with it but if you say you’re TV up to 1080P you should be fine.
Your upload speed for videos will probably be a pain for now but hopefully StarLink will come out soon. People in the north that have it love it and upload and download is ridiculously fast.
I've noticed 4+ on upload seems to cover me on live streams.
@@TKCL that’s cool so is that enough to upload your larger videos?. I never upload to UA-cam so I’ve never paid attention to that side of it really, usually as long as I’m above one meg that’s enough for what I do but I’m sure some of the videos you load onto UA-cam are pretty huge. 🤔
It'll upload on anything, problem is it just takes longer.
You should have the indoor ant on your 2nd fl ceiling so your cone of boosted signal covers your 1st floor area
Hard to complain with the results, I often have 5 bars of signal in the house and porch.
I’m never complaining about my phone speed ever again.
"It is what it is."
All you need for a metal roof is 2 antennas ie old tv channel 2 - 83
Mount 1 outside mount 1 under metal roof hook up both to coax… the inside one will repeat your signal to the outside one and vice versa outside to inside. Called a passive repeater in the rf world… if you get your satellite internet connection you can turn on the wifi calling option on your cell phone … so when your phone has weak cell signal but strong wifi signal it will make calls using your internet connection bypassing the cell towers
Very interesting!
Andrew what is the signal app you use to find the towers and all that? I have AT&T and barely get 1 maybe 2 bars of very weak signal even when outside so we desperately need this to enhance and boost our cell signal. Thanks in advance.
Open signal is the app or you can use cellmapper.net
Hey Andrew I appreciate your video. I'm kind of bummed out though because you got the other antenna the second antenna and they don't offer that anymore for the price you got so I ended up paying $329. That's okay because I'm sick and tired crappy T-Mobile signal. I know it's been a year so that's probably why.
Your affiliate link is gone.
I noticed you said you were going to put the main unit in the Attic but for my understanding the signal radiates out the front of it so did you aim the front of it down so that it comes into your house?
I've noticed no matter how I aimed it indoors it still covers the entire house.
Watched your attempts at gaining cell service with "fond" memories,I solved my problem with Starlink and wifi calling with my cell phone! You might want to check it out.
The whole reason for doing this and making these videos is because I've been on the starlink waiting list for well over a year. I got 4 different updates of expected delivery and none were met. My last update told me that my area was at max capacity and don't expect service until 2023 or later. I got tired of their games.
My kit didn't come with the white box or two sets of cable but just the antenna and the black interior antenna/booster and a length of cable approximately 50' long.
Interesting, almost sounds like the Weboost kit instead of the Hiboost.
