weBoost Drive X, Vehicle Cell Phone Signal Booster, Boosts 5G & 4G LTE for All U.S. Carriers - Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile (Model 475021)

I recently bought the WeBoost Drive 4G-X and am very pleased with the technical support and performance for this device. The shipped 12.5ft external antenna was about 3 feet too short for my typical midsize car (2013 Subaru Outback) which then required a call to Tech Support. They very quickly shipped me a 6ft extension cable to solve the problem. As a typical cable length for external VHF antennas is around 17 feet, and cars have got significantly larger over the last decade or so, the standard 12.5ft shipped cable length should be increased to accommodate this apparently fairly common problem. Once the WeBoost Drive 4G-X was installed I took a drive up to my local ski hill, which is well known for its lack of cell coverage for most of the drive. Surprisingly I saw no increase in cellular performance, even when using my smartphone's signal meter to monitor the signal strength. I still could not get any cellular connection for most of the drive up or down. I called WeBoost technical support the next morning and they walked me through testing my device. They quickly isolated the problem as being my cellphone's default LTE Auto connection, which was weak in my hilly area. As soon as this default LTE Auto connection was turned off I immediately got high boosted signal strength from the 3G network and could make cellular calls from different locations along ski hill road. I am very pleased with the performance and the fast and effective technical support I received. I would definitely recommend the WeBoost Drive 4G-X.

Works better then expected. The only quirk is that if you start your car in a location where cell signal is strong, especially on bands 12 13 and 17, the device will operate those frequencies at low power. You can drive 200 miles and it will not auto compensate and you don't know it unless you climb under your seat while driving. If you turn the device off and then back on the green/red blinking will go away.

This is our second booster and it (they ) have made a tremendous impact in our productivity. Our appraisers are able to stay in the field longer and can update our system or retrieve information much faster. Before using the booster if they encountered a problem they would have to drive around until they found a strong enough signal to reload data or download new data. With the boosters we've seen a huge increase in our efficiency and that translate into time / money saved.

I bought this 3 weeks ago, and it did nothing out of the box. I borrowed an antenna and found it worked very well. Turns out the 4 inch that came with it had a faulty connection close to the connector, and I found that if I bent the antenna cord just the right way, everything worked well. I bought a 12 inch mag mount antenna from Wilson and it works great, except there is more interference (one or two red lights flashing) with the 12 inch. The stock 4 inch had much less interference problems. Makes me wonder if those reviewers who say this booster did nothing were also victims of faulty wiring.

Just tried a real world test of our new wireless cell signal booster WeBoost Drive 4G-X. Temp setup, mini magnetic "outdoor" antenna on the dash on a metal ground plane, not on the roof as it will be in the future. Location Thousand Trails Gordonville TX. No booster, Verizon signal is -97 dBm, with booster signal is* -64 dBm. This is with the cell phone and MiFi used to measure signal 2" away from internal antenna. The power levels picked up by a cellular antenna are fractions of a milliwatts, so the dBm readout will be a negative number. -50dBm would be considered an awesome signal. -60dBm is 10x weaker, but still great. -70dBm is 100x weaker. -80dBm is 1,000x weaker. -90dBm is 10,000x weaker. -100dBm is 100,000x weaker - and is when you are likely to start seeing a serious impact. -110dBm is a million times weaker than -50dBm and is usually barely usable. And by the time you see -120dBm, the phone has probably already given up and switched to "No Service."

I bought this device for our motorhome to boost our cellular signal while traveling around the western United States. We have AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile cellular service on both smartphones and tablets. I purchased the spring-loaded OTR Trucker antenna in addition to the included mini-mag mount antenna. I installed the OTR antenna on a secure, mobile antenna mount located forward of the cab and found that it rarely provided me with a better signal. I also had difficulty with interior antenna placement and oscillation feedback. (impossible in the cab area) Even though the exterior antenna was placed forward and higher than the cab, and the interior antenna was placed to the rear of the coach, I still encountered oscillation and a loss of boosted signal. I found the best combination was the stock mag mount antenna, (bypassing the OTR antenna altogether) stuck to a baking pan and placed on top of the air conditioning unit on the roof and the interior antenna placed low, near the floor. This situation provided the best bang for the buck! With these stationary (as in the motorhome) locations, I was able to achieve the advertised gains in cellular signal strength. This is, however, impractical while traveling as I faced dangling coax cables and open windows to accomplish this. All in all - it will work as advertised while parked and when you are able to play with exterior and interior antenna locations. I've now spent well over $500 and countless hours of antenna mount installs & trials and have yet to find a great location that works while moving.... Not going to return it but not as thrilled as I hoped to be...

I bought this a week ago and installed it in my RV. At this point I do not feel that it is worth the money. I am on a trip from Missouri to South Carolina and so far have not seen enough difference to make a difference. I have been on the phone with Weboost and have done some trouble shooting, but no real big results. I am going to do some more trouble shooting to see if it will make a difference. I am in a parked location now and have 2 bars with ATT. If I bump the inside antenna with my phone it will go to 4 bars, but as soon as I turn my back on the inside antenna, it goes back to 2 bars.

I bought this for the booster and added a different antenna (trucker with spring mount) that I mounted on high on the end cap of our 5th wheel. I also needed an additional 30" for RG58 coax with male/female SMA connectors. The cables are way short for a large scale RV rig, considering separation of antennas to optimized performance, but I can see where they're perfect for a car type vehicle that provides both a ferrous/magnetic ground plane and RF shield separation of antennas. I'm also not too keen about the hershey bar inside antenna in that the device is suppose to support 4 concurrent connections, but the most boost is when the mobile cell device is place right on the antenna. So I'm thinking WeBoost needs to consider a system that is more suitably designed for an long RV rig like a class A or 5th wheel certainly is.

Researched this purchase extensively. Called Wilson directly and discussed Researched this purchase extensively. Called Wilson directly and discussed whether this unit was better than the Sleek model #46106 mobile unit I have that you have to place your phone in the cradle. The units advantages are it is wireless so you do not have to put your phone in the cradle, multiple users can use it at same tome and it was supposed to be two times better at least then the unit I was using with respect to improving the signal. However, it has not performed anywhere near that 2x standard and in fact is no better at all then the unit I had. Had some difficulty in getting all the lights to come on since you have to have the antenna and the wireless transmitter a certain distance apart which was very difficult in a truck. Called the company multiple times, tried everything they suggested and in the end they told me..." oh well that's probably the best you can do ...sometimes you cannot get it to perform totally and the cradle kind may be better since its direct connected". Could not believe it . Would have sent it back but it was too late time wise. Have used it for 2 months now in areas I know exactly how the other unit worked and it was not worth the extra money and would not have purchased it retrospectively. Maybe the 4G aspect is better but I purchased it for the phone signal improvement, it clearly does not pull in two times the signal. Would not recommend someone buying this unless they are only interested in the 4G( and the wireless aspect with multiple users) I really can't comment on since we don't have 4g consistently in our rural area anyways.

I just got my new 4G-X..I was excited to try it so I did a quick install in my truck...and then drove a route that I drive multiple time a day..I drove it four time twice with the Boaster on...and twice with the Boaster off..The booster did not make a bite of difference..I had one to two bars without the Boaster and I had one to two Bars with the Boaster..very disappointed...I came home and went through everything..Made sure I had everything Hooked up correctly and I had the green light..Nothing ....also a little disappointed in how big a cumbersome it is no real "Neat" way to install it to many wires and big for my taste...reminds me of the amps we used to put on our car stereos back in the 80s
