Hi,
I'm new to the cell phone booster world. I've been doing some reading though. I'm looking at buying a booster for a remote cabin. I don't want to break the bank, but I'd also like it to work. According to my providers map (GCI) 4G LTE is very close, but I can't pick it up, only weak 3G. Provider said their frequency is 700 and 1900?
I don't know my signal strength at the cabin (I didn't know about testing that the last time I was out there), but I do know I have about 1 bar of 3G service on the ground outside that seems to come and go, and nothing inside.
I have a mast I can mount the antenna on, about 30 feet tall.
Today I ordered a Weboost Connect 4G. I was doing some more research after, and found some negative reviews stating that this new booster didn't work as well as their older model, with this response from a Wilson Tech:
"Thank you for writing a review. I am sorry to see that the Connect 4G did not work for your situation. Unfortunately, in May 2014, the FCC imposed new regulations which limited power back to the tower."
So I got to looking at specifications of the Wilson DB Pro 4G Yagi +65dB Amplifier Kit - 460103, and it appears to have higher power output. The Wilson DB Pro is discontinued, but there are still a few available from sellers.
So, is the older Wilson DB Pro 4G more powerful than the Weboost Connect 4G? Is there another model I should look at?
Thank You, Kevin
