weBoost Drive Reach Vehicle Cell Phone Signal Booster Multi-User (470154)

I have had the older model since 2017. When I heard that an improved model was available I couldn't resist. I can't believe the improvements to my reception. Installation is easy and customer service is readily available for technical questions. There are multiple antenna options. I opted for the NMO permanent mount.

My wife and I travel to the north Maine woods for a 10 day camping trip every year -- 55 miles from the nearest town, 33 miles down logging roads, heavily forested, totally off the grid. We camp on the northwest tip of Moosehead Lake where moose seriously outnumber people. We've never had a cell phone signal within 25 miles of the campground, but the campground owners have a Weboost home system and have a great signal. This year, we decided to get a booster and went with a Weboost -- the weboost Drive Reach. If you look at the coverage maps from all of the major cell phone service providers, not one of them has any coverage where we camp. BUT... we had a reliable cell phone signal every time we jumped into our SUV! And it was a strong signal! And, we had a cell signal almost all the way up the logging roads. Of course, the booster can't boost if there is nothing there, so there were some dead spots. I sat in my driveway at home, where our cell service is weak, and watched the db levels. I saw an improvement in signal strength from between 20-35%. And, no more dead spots on my 25 miles commute to work! Totally worth the cost! My wife is happy and, as the saying goes, a happy wife is a happy life!

I work in the oilfield in rural Appalachia, this lets me make calls and look things up on the internet in places I have no business doing it. I've only found one place so far that it didn't give me at least some signal; and it was maybe the most backwoods West Virginia spot in a valley that I've ever been to.

I'm very pleased with how well it works. In the area where I live my cell is pretty mush useless without it.

We bought the Weboost Drive Reach for our Class B RV to get us cellular reception inside our Mercedes 3500 Sprinter chassis. With its steel chassis, the van is a Faraday cage and is very effective at killing cellular signals. We also live in a cellular signal desert, so it served as a perfect test site. The Drive Reach performs admirably: we went from getting very little data in to a strong 24Mbps, and from nothing going out to 22Mbps out. We are *very* happy with the Weboost Drive Reach.

Used this extensively while crewing a 2000+ mile cross-USA run. Was able to get a signal virtually everywhere in CA, AZ, NM, TX, AR, MS, AL, GA, FL -- in many places where my phone was useless bc the signal was so faint. We're talking really remote areas - still on paved roads, but you could go all day and only see a couple other vehicles. The nearest teeny town might be 100+ miles away. If my phone couldn't get a signal, I'd switch to my wifi hotspot, then try MIMO antenna on hotspot, then try dual stubby magnetic WeBoost antennas on hotspot, OTR antenna (shorter version, with converter) on hotspot, then stubby on Drive Reacher booster, then the Drive Reach booster plus the OTR. Reason I did it this way is that we were getting power off an ArkPak w/ 100 Ah Battle Born LiFePO4 battery and a 500W Jackery power station that also had to power two Dometic fridges and a bunch of miscellaneous devices while recharging from the vehicle battery as I drove, and the Drive Reach consumes a ***LOT*** of power. Do the power math if this may be an issue for you and make sure you turn it off if you don't actually need it (which is easy, because there's a handy on/off switch). Super-pleased and would 100% buy it again. Did a similar trip before I bought it, lack of connectivity was a major problem and source of stress -- and on this MUCH longer trip, I never worried once about connectivity.

Well I do a lot of traveling and Overland camping and so far it does search for tower reception when there is none and I get at least 1 to 2 bars depending on my location. Overall the wife likes it and thats what counts happy wife happy life.

This thing is amazing. I have an irregular work schedule where I am frequently on call and free to do whatever. I live and work in a small city surrounded by National Forest and rural farm country, so cell service is spotty and thus risky business when I am on call. This thing really expands my range I am able to go and still be reachable. It's important to note that this thing will not create a signal where there is not one, but it will take a marginal one and make it very strong.

Purchased this with the OTR-RV antenna kit for our Travato. Review tests indicated that even though this antenna is not optimal for the Reach, it's better than the mini-mag antenna included for car use, which would not have worked because the cable is too short for RV use. The OTR-RV antenna is an excellent match to Promaster/Sprinter conversion vans. No oscillations detected anywhere within van. The central location of the amp module and the 8' interior antenna cable length allows effective positioning most anywhere in the van...and you do need to be within about 2' for positive effect. About a bar to 2 bars enhancement in deep fringe areas. Turned several of our favorite campsites into useable reception zones. Major gripe is the 12V power adaptor. It fits extremely loosely in standard cigarette lighter sockets and makes intermittent electrical contact unless physically held down to one side. The trouble appears to be spring contacts on the adaptor sides are not springy enough and don't protrude far enough to guarantee robust contact. The adaptor also powers up when coach 12V is powered up, so it can be on and you won't know it. Need a more positive power switching that only comes on when you physically push the switch.

Works as expected. I leave it off until I get somewhere with poor coverage, switch it on, and my phone shows full bars. Phone calls and internet access quality improves accordingly. "Range extender" seems like a poor description, but certainly "signal booster". My hatchback is fairly short by car standards, and trying to run the cable the recommended way get me 1m (3ft) short of the passenger seat. Had to cable it through the door in a not-elegant way. The power and internal antennae cables are probably longer than they need to be, by comparison.
