Love the the content sir. People who want to live in peaceful rural environment who still want to be connected to the world to communicate and do business this is so important. Side not my mother maiden name is Kelly so I must subscribe and like.
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!
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
@@TKCL it’s what makes a house into a home. As far as I am concerned, everything looks nice and “homey” already. Your personalities are mirrored in your choice of finishing touches.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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..
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.
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.
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.
Hey man..1st time viewer. Will Like & sub. Me & my daughter live on a little piece of heaven on earth my grandmother left me in her will. 20 ish acres with 2 of the property lines being small creeks that merge at the corner of the property. Pretty sweet. Live in a single wide right now,but want to do a pole barn/self build asap. Got to get $ right before I can get started. Getting Close …Finally! L8r
Good point. All systems are required by the FCC to be registered, although they work without registration. Takes about 5 minutes online, so do as you will.
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..
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!
Nice video. It doesn't really apply to you, but always include a drup loop on cables especially entering walls. The cable runs down the up to the hole or connector in a U so water drips away and off the loop bottom. That outside connector would last better with a wrap of self amalgamating tape which will stick only to itself and form a waterproof rubber boot. Bery cheap hand tuff, saves things from exposure and seals nicely. I wrap some tool handles with it for a nice grip too.
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.
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.
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? 😉
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
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.
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.
@@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 tried installing a booster in my house but they wanted the antenna placed so far away from the base that it meant stringing unsightly wire everywhere. I sent it back and bought Starlink. It's pricey, but worth it where I live. If the FCC ever lets Starlink run mobile signals, my cell service issues will be resolved as well.
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.
The diameter of a circle that is 1000 square feet is about 36 feet. So, if this box is correct, then it is good for almost 18 feet in each direction from the inside antenna. 1,500 feet only helps a little bit. It makes a reception/broadcast circle of almost 44 feet, or almost 22 feet from each direction from the inside unit. However, this might be fine.
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!
So did you have to plug any of the device into an electrical outlet? I just don't recall seeing anything that needed to be hardwired or plugged into your electrical system. I pretty much live in my basement as it is hotter than Satan's toenails in summer and colder than a well digger's butt in Montana in the winter. I usually have zero bars and where you wired yours in with the dryer vent made me think I too could run mine right next to the dryer vent which is in my basement and the area I need a boost at. Thanks Andrew!
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
Please excuse my simple questions as I am elderly, . So are using a cell phone booster off a cell phone tower to watch TV? Do you subscribe toTV service from the phone company? Are you also using the booster to use your cell phone? Do you no longer need a phone line line or TV cable subscription trew a cablr?
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 recently moved into the basement unit of a house with concrete floors and only get one or two bars when inside. If I step outside I can get 5g. Looks like I need to get a booster.
Make sure you check out my new video with Hiboosts newest more powerful system. It works very well! ua-cam.com/video/LZ9KL1O_reI/v-deo.html

I bought one and it works excellent. Having full signal now, both from smart and globe network. I am very satisfied!
Great to hear!
Another amazing video. The house is really coming along.
Thank you
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.

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?
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!

Interesting video. Cell towers polarize ar 45 degrees from vertical. You might improve signal by tilting the antenna.
Thanks all of this apps are useful when i buy network signal booster I will use them❤
The broadcast pattern of the antenna is called the beam width.
I really enjoyed this.

I have a hunch that the closer cell phone tower (1.5 miles away) has directional antennas - and not aimed towards you.
That's correct, cellmapper.net shows that.
What if I have full bars but slow internet. Should I use it.
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.
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 🤦
The diameter of a circle that is 1000 square feet is about 36 feet. So, if this box is correct, then it is good for almost 18 feet in each direction from the inside antenna.
1,500 feet only helps a little bit. It makes a reception/broadcast circle of almost 44 feet, or almost 22 feet from each direction from the inside unit. However, this might be fine.
Good jod and also good speaker.
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!
So did you have to plug any of the device into an electrical outlet? I just don't recall seeing anything that needed to be hardwired or plugged into your electrical system. I pretty much live in my basement as it is hotter than Satan's toenails in summer and colder than a well digger's butt in Montana in the winter. I usually have zero bars and where you wired yours in with the dryer vent made me think I too could run mine right next to the dryer vent which is in my basement and the area I need a boost at. Thanks Andrew!
You do need a 120 volt outlet for the main unit.
What do you think of Nomad internet for RVing?
I've not researched it or tested it.
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.
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.
Please excuse my simple questions as I am elderly, . So are using a cell phone booster off a cell phone tower to watch TV? Do you subscribe toTV service from the phone company? Are you also using the booster to use your cell phone? Do you no longer need a phone line line or TV cable subscription trew a cablr?
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
Love your granite counter top
Did you get a signal strength reading before installing this booster?
Yes, from 1-2 bars to 4-5.
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 recently moved into the basement unit of a house with concrete floors and only get one or two bars when inside. If I step outside I can get 5g.
Looks like I need to get a booster.
Can the booster unit, interfere with the indoor antenna, as regards physical placement of both?
Not sure to be honest, the paperwork did come with recommended installation and pointing of antennas.
