weBoost Home MultiRoom Signal Booster Kit - 650144

There are two major considerations on whether or not to buy the weBoost Home MultiRoom. This booster works best for midsize homes and offices. The effective coverage area will vary depending on the strength of your OUTSIDE signal, so it's important to understand - if you're expecting 5,000 square feet of coverage but have only one bar outside your home, you won't get it. Realistic expectations of coverage in that scenario are more like 1,000-2,500 square feet.

The other major consideration is whether or not you'd prefer to install it yourself, or have someone do it for you. The weBoost Home MultiRoom is a DIY kit, which means you'll be installing this booster yourself. If you live in a residence in the United States and would rather have a booster professionally installed, consider the weBoost Installed Home MultiRoom.

Getting an antenna bundle for your booster can expand your coverage by allowing signal to go through building material that blocks signal. They work best if you have stronger outside signal, as adding more antennas slightly reduces the power of each individual antenna.

However, in order to get coverage on multiple floors or in very long homes, getting a second antenna is highly recommended, assuming you have the outside signal strength to make good use of it.

Installing any consumer signal booster setup is fairly simple. There are five steps:

1. Install Outside Antenna.
2. Connect to the Amplifier.
3. Install Inside Antenna.
4. Connect all with cables.
5. Power on.

The most "difficult" part is installing the Outside Antenna.

You'll need some general handyman skills but nothing too specialized. If you prefer having someone else do the job, you can also contact your local general contractor, electrician, or anyone who's installed a satellite TV dish.

Let's start:

1. Find The Best Outside Signal: Begin by finding the best signal outside your house. This is done by walking around the perimeter of your home and either using the number of bars on your phone (ok method), smartphone apps (good method), or Field Test Mode (great method) to find the best location.
   
   Pro tip: Locating the side of your home getting the best signal is the MOST CRUCIAL step of the installation process.
   
   
2. Install Outside Antenna: The area with the best signal is where you will mount the Outside Antenna. Place the antenna as high up as possible, ideally on the roof, although the fascia or gable is acceptable. It's important that the Outside Antenna should be on or near the edge of the roof pointing away from the house to the cell tower and NOT pointing across the roof since it may cause interference with the Inside Antenna.
   
   
3. Connect to Amplifier: Once the Outside Antenna is mounted, connect the included RG-6 cable to the Outside Antenna and to the “Outside Antenna” port on the amplifier.
   
   Pro tip: The amplifier does all the heavy lifting for boosting signal and will get warm. Keep it in a well-ventilated area.
   
   
4. Install Inside Antenna: Once the cable is connected to the “Outside Antenna” port of the amplifier, do the same for the “Inside Antenna” port. Some prefer having the Inside Antenna mounted on the ceiling, others prefer the wall, and some prefer using the stand and placing it in a well-trafficked area. Again, it's all a matter of preference and aesthetics. The most important point is to have the inside antenna located in the area you need signal the most.
   
   Pro tip: Having enough separation between the two antennas prevents oscillation. Make sure there is at least 20 feet vertical or 50 feet horizontal distance between the two.
   
   
5. Power on: Plug in the power supply to the Amplifier and to the wall outlet. The amplifier will sync up and if you see all green lights, then green means GO! Check to see near the inside antenna how much better signal you're getting.
   
   Pro tip: Any post-installation adjustments like re-aiming the Outside Antenna or relocating the Inside Antenna will require rebooting the amplifier. Simply unplug the power supply for 5-10 seconds and replug to reboot the system.

Green

Everything is working perfectly. Your signal booster is amplifying at maximum capacity.

Red

Your outside antenna is pulling in signal from your inside antenna instead of the cell tower. This is called a feedback loop or oscillation. Call your installer to get this fixed.

Orange

The outside antenna is pulling in too much signal from the cell tower. To avoid overloading, your amplifier has to shut down. This can be solved with a small adjustment to your outside antenna. Point it slightly away from the cell tower. Do this in small increments. Make sure to power off, power on your booster to ensure the amplifier is updating the light status. Green is a go.

Green & Red (Blinking)

Your outside antenna is pulling in signal from the cell tower AND your inside antenna. Your amplifier still works, but it's operating at reduced power. Call your installer if you see this problem.

Green & Orange (Blinking)

Your outside antenna is pulling in too much signal from the cell tower. It isn't enough to overload the amplifier, but it's operating at reduced power. This can be solved with a small adjustment to your outside antenna. Point it slightly away from the cell tower. Do this in small increments. Make sure to power off, power on your booster to ensure the amplifier is updating the light status. Green is a go.

The booster amplifies the signal reaching your phone at the source, so your phone doesn't need to “connect” to anything. It isn't a WiFi router – if your phone can detect cellular signal, then it will pick up the amplified signal the booster emits.

Get the OpenSignal app if you have an iPhone, or the Network Cell Info Lite app for Android, and get reading your signal strength in standard dB (decibel) measurement. The closer to 0 your number, the stronger your signal.
