Cell phone signal Booster ?

For my hotspots, I've been getting better performance from a MiMo configured pair of Yagi antennas than I got from a high end cell booster/repeater. I mounted them on top of my batwing OTA antenna for easy directional aiming. An 8-10 dB RSRP improvement is pretty typical so far.

There are 2 different types of boosters, and don't confuse them.

*something that will pick up a wifi signal such as from a campground or other public wifi, and boost it so you have a stronger wifi signal. This will not help speed if the bandwidth is overloaded. They are often called range extenders or repeaters.

*something (like a Weboost or other brand) that will boost a signal from a cell phone tower, so that you have better cell phone signal, and can talk without breaking up.

So now I am looking at the Weboost RV 65. Is that what you folks are using or do you have another recommendation?

I really like the 65 for getting a directional antenna way up in the air and aiming it right at a cell tower.

Here's Weboost's latest RV booster.... but it's your choice.

Not sure how I can measure that. I was using my cell service through the phone and not campground wifi.

Here's a tool I like: Speedtest.net I use a Weboost, and it has been a game changer. I used to try to pick up local stations with an OTA TV antenna. Now we can usually find enough signal to stream from our Tablo or Plex server via the cell phone. As someone else posted, if there isn't enough bandwidth, you can't manufacture it, but a signal booster often will let you take advantage of what signal there is.

Thanks for that. Looking at the reviews some people found that the mounting brackets for the Pole didn’t work so well, have you had that problem?

I have the WeBoost Drive Reach as shown in the video, plus a yagi antenna (Amazon) that I use on my own fiberglass painters pole (Lowe's).

We are using Weboost home multiroom signal booster.
You may try.
