zBoost Dual Band Wireless Personal Cell Phone Signal Booster YX300-PCS/CEL

Pros: I work on a supply boat,before i could not get a signal in my room(except leaning my head against the window)now i can walk anywhere in my room and have signal,between 4and5 bars.it does work.my room is only about 8X12 feet

Cons: The antenna is not good quality,has 2 suction cups,most suction cup antenna's you can take them off,these are made into the antenna,i already broke one and used glue to put it back.looking for better quality after market antenna for the unit.no luck yet.but aside from the antenna i do like the product.might have to upgrade if i cant find a better antenna for it.

Overall Review: wish the manufacturer would make a better antenna for this product

Pros: Nice Concept and easy to set up.

Cons: Didn't improve my signal at all. I tried the multiple locations in my house.

Overall Review: Read the Return Policy on this Item- This item is listed as 'Non Refundable Exchange Only' I had to call Newegg and ask for an exception to the return policy. (They ended up giving me a refund)

Pros: None

Cons: Unit simply does not do what is advertised. There is ZERO increase in signal, the only thing that works is the green light indicating the signal is allegedly being amplified and Wi-Ex "technical support" dopes have every excuse on the planet why it is the buyers fault that it doesn't work. "There must be metal around the window", "If you have a signal already it cannot help, it is only for a room with no signal", and then when you tell them that you have no signal, they respond "You need some sort of signal to be amplified".

Overall Review: Stay away from this product, and from Wi-Ex as a company.

Pros: none

Cons: Plug it in, green light, no increase in signal, no matter how close I put my phone. I followed all other directions as written. This product is completely worthless. I'm not sure why Newegg would even sell it.

Overall Review: suction cups don't work very well...

Pros: Newegg got this to me in a couple of days - great service as usual. I have purchased thousands of dollars of gear from Newegg over the years. I also recommend purchases to a research lab. There is nothing positive one can say about this product.

Cons: Newegg should not be selling this product as it is at best inferior goods - that is it does not work. It can carry a signal and deliver it as a weaker signal.

Overall Review: If you need this sort of gear, buy a wilson cellular amp and cellular antenna. These actually work. They cost a lot more money. With the exact same setup, I get four bars with the Wilson equipment and no usable service from the zboost product.

Pros: Setup with this item is a breeze. Take the antenna, stick it to your window, run the cord to the base and turn it on. I used to experience dropped calls all the time in my home office and no reception anywhere else in my home. I know they say the range on this thing is 6 feet, but I'm getting noticably better reception 20 ft away down the hall. Definately a good buy for the price and fixed all my problems.

Cons: The base unit has to be as far away from the antenna as possible. This makes setup difficult in home office situations where your desk is right next to your window and you have to intentionally bypass the most logical place to put the base in favor of fully extending the connection cord from the antenna to the base unit.

Pros: easy setup

Cons: it doesn't work. i needed cell access for my basement, so i bought this thinking it would get me signal. i've placed the external antenna where i get 4-5 bars, but get zero boost from the device. i should have gone with the more powerful booster

Pros: If it works, then cool.

Cons: You have to have some kind of signal to get it to work. If where you live has spurious reception, this won't help. I was very confused on how to set this up. The range is only 6 feet.
