    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

    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.

    @had2galsinthebooth 2 года назад +2

    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.

    • @KuptisOriginal

      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.

    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.

    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? 😉

    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.

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!

    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.

    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.

    • @TKCL
      @TKCL  2 года назад +2

      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.

    • @TKCL

      @@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'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!

    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 wouldn’t mount it at the peak of the roof. You don’t want the two to feedback. I would do a ceiling penetration and install it like a smoke alarm in the hallway next to the kitchen, in front of the pantry.
    Without that separation you might not get good performance.
    Even though it says 80’degrees in front, it still spills a little behind it. It’ll cover your attic den.

      In our office building we have a central rack mounted cell repeater and 6 of those indoor antennas identical to yours. They’re mounted to drop tile ceiling tiles every 80 feet.

      A yagi antenna is focused, but that indoor antenna doesn’t have a high gain, therefore it’s much less directed than you think.

    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
