    The Wireless Extender zBoost Home/Office Cell Phone Signal Booster Unit improves signal strength through amplification, improving coverage up to 3000 square feet. Place the antenna high up in your attic and run the included RG-6 coaxial cable to the room where you'll keep the base. Once connected, you'll enjoy reduced or eliminated static and fewer dropped calls.

    The Wireless Extender zBoost Home/Office Cell Phone Signal Booster Unit enhances additional wireless applications, as well, including text messaging, cell phone Internet use, and PDA messaging.

    Note: If you can place a call outside your home or office, the Wireless Extender zBoost Home/Office Cell Phone Signal Booster Unit signal repeater system will help you by boosting the signal inside the building. If there is no signal outside, this unit will not give you any improvement in coverage.

    The Wireless Extender zBoost Home/Office Cell Phone Signal Booster Unit works with both 1900 MHz PCS-based phones and 800 MHz cell-based phones. If you only need one or the other, you can purchase either the PCS version or cellular version separately.

    MICHAEL -- columbus, MN   10/12/2009
    Installed easy. still working on getting the placement of the antenna but can notice a difference.
    GEORGE -- orlando, FL   12/29/2008
    Although my cell gets 1 bar of service at my vacation home, I had hoped this would improve service. I have not noticed any improvement, even though the repeater appears to be working properly.
    ARTHUR -- rye, NY   5/22/2008
    This product unfortunately did not work for me. I even bought the outside antenna and still can't get a strong enough signal to get a constant signal in my house. Very disappointed but do not think it is the products fault. However, one would think living in a very affluent area we would have much better cell service.
    SAMUEL -- inverness, IL   4/10/2008
    The first product did not work as wll as the replacement model whick works good.
    RYAN -- los angeles, CA   11/30/2007
    So far, it seems to extend the signal, but is only able to keep a call active for about 4 minutes at a time. I have to stand directly beside it to reap the benefits of the extended signal after accepting the call.
    STEPHEN -- kingwood, TX   10/14/2007
    The product was good but there was no way I could run the cable without tearing up my house.
    ROSS -- redondo beach, CA   8/23/2007
    I ran the cable, plugged it in, and it seemed to work, but only in a small 10 ft radius of the unit - and then only intermittently. I get two bars outside my apartment, so this product did not help improve reception. Only buy this product if you can get 3 bars or above - it's a pretty expensive product for only 10 ft radius of partial reception. So far, I am disappointed, but maybe Ill be happier when I move.
    R. Frye -- possum kingdom lake, TX   5/4/2008
    We installed this at our remote lake home and have been very happy. It has stopped all the dropped calls. We get service inside the house and outside. Great system, not too difficult to install.
    Jeremy B -- floyds knobs, Indiana   10/21/2007
    I have always had problems with cell service inside my house. I pickup full service outside my home but inside is another story. I tried another brand that just uses the 1900 MHz band (Cingular/ATT) and it didn’t work. Come to find out, Cingular/ATT still uses 800 MHz in some areas, which was my case. So, I purchased the dual band repeater and temporally hooked up the unit to see if it even worked. My phone was working with full bars. I installed the unit in my basement with the receiving antenna outside an upstairs window. I wish the inside dispersion was a little better, I only get about a six foot radius around the unit, beyond that, the signal falls off very quickly. I will be purchasing a higher gain repeater antenna for better dispersion inside which I will probably get. All in all, a good unit it keeps me from wanting to through my phone cause of dropped or missed calls.
    Christopher Dean -- league city, Texas   10/19/2007
    The unit works but as some have said the signal drops off dramatically with the distance (get a directional attenna for the base unit if you can) probably due to some FCC licensing issue. Place of the attenna itself is critical. I put it in the west side of my house where I get 2 bars and I couldn't get any more bars than I could before (although my dropped calls seem to have gone down). But when I put the attenna upstairs on the east side of the house (all the towers are to the east of me) I could get 4 bars on my phone. So placement is everything.
    Dave T. -- chesterbrook, PA   8/23/2007
    I just installed this and was pleased with the results. The best reception i could get was 2 bars in the loft of my house. I stuck the antenna in the attic rafters and the base unit in the basement rafters, and viola... 2 bars throughout the entire house, including the basement!!! Now I'm just wondering if I should charge my neighbors ;)
    JIM -- mansfield, MA   8/6/2007
    Product returned. I set it up in an area where I had 2 bars outside the building and it did bring the 2 bars inside but I still dropped many calls and had bad reception. I was unable to use my cell phone on a reliable basis.
    COY -- burleson, TX   6/21/2007
    Equipment was easy to install and works well. Everything was easy.
    CHRIS -- brooklyn, NY   6/11/2007
    We are in a dense city are but in an old brick brownstone with poor signal. Works pretty much as advertised. Set up is straight forward, but requires some handyman knowledge, especially if you are mounting antenna on roof.
    DANIEL -- hays, KS   5/23/2007
    Works flawlessly. I get a strong signal throughout the house. Recommended.
    KENNETH -- castaic, CA   5/16/2007
    Product works very well.
    JOSE LUIS -- mexico city df, XX   5/14/2007
    We own a restauranr chain in Mexico city and in of our locatios we had trouble with the quality of the reception for celular phones, the wirelees extender solved all our problems.
    DENNIS -- tioga, TX   5/13/2007
    Great went from one bar to 4 bars no fades anywhere now in the metal building
    JONATHAN -- burbank, CA   5/4/2007
    It actually worked. Helps a little but only very close to the extention antenna. It would be nice to have another extention antenna.
    COMPRESSOR -- westminster, MD   3/27/2007
    Works great. We never had a signal in the building. Now we get almost a full signal and every call is clear.
