Hiboost cell phone booster! Full install, test and review!  

Make sure you check out my new video with Hiboosts newest more powerful system. It works very well! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LZ9KL1O_reI.html

I bought one of these and installed it in the mountains of NH. Went from 0-1 bars to 4-5 bars LTE (Verizon). As for the 5G TMobile Home Internet, it uses both 5G and 4G bands. This booster certainly helped out the TMobile 5G Home Internet as well! I was shocked and glad I have full cellular and 5G internet in an off-grid situation. Amazing!

Hi, Andrew! As always, this is an excellent video and the installation was well planned. I am getting excited for the time when you can move into your dream home. All the inside projects will be fun and interesting.

you have a delightful, easy going style. it extends a comforting sense of "you can do this"... to some pretty state of the art knowledge you are blessed with experience in! Bravo

Finally! I have been looking for someone to address aesthetics. I surely would never get my wife on board with the booster (with 2 coaxial cables, and the power cord) mounted out in plain sight. This is exactly how I will install mine. Only the indoor antenna needs to be visible. Thank you.

One of the best reviews I've watched on youtube. Thanks so much.

You are a great teacher buddy. Thanks for making it easy for a low tech guy like me! 🙏

Great review and your honesty is really genuine. Don't change and you'll subscribe count will continue to grow.

As a former cell phone company field worker. I went out an bought a universal cell phone signal booster for my RV and a portable one for my work truck. Never dropped a call. It was less expensive than the ones offer by the cell phone company that I worked for. At remote locations where there was no cell phone coverage I would open up the RV windows and let my neighbors used it

Outstanding. Congratulations on the boosted signal. You didn't loose much beard hair. You do the best product testing videos. Thanks Andrew.

Great information. Glad that it worked out for you!

Thank you for this. We are finally able to move to an old farmhouse in the country and cell signal will be about what you are getting. Huge help

Great video Andrew. Thanks for sharing all the info. By the way, the house is looking great. Y'all take care and God Bless.

Another amazing video. The house is really coming along.

Andrew I have to say you have a great attic space. Love how you have it lit up and you can walk around it with no problem. The house is looking great..

I have a 40 by 40 metal building, no windows. Bought one of these repeaters, best thing I ever bought!!

Deano here from Biloxi, MS, USA!! Great video!! Can't wait to see your other stuff!!

relaxing outdoor beard trimming!! oh and the antenna booster was cool as well!!

Hi Andrew! Your review is amazing and Hiboost is very impressive!!!

Great review! (PS: I am hardly getting stuff done in my own home 'caz I'm glued to your videos -- can't wait for you to move in!)

Excellent Job You get a Gold star!

Thank you for the information. Didn’t know about the signal app.

love the ending!

I have the same booster and it works great. Works much much better than the comparable we-boost booster. Went from 1 bar outside to full bars inside watching Netflix and RU-vid.

Excellent tutorial!

Great video hoss! Thank you for using lingo that is easy for anyone to understand... Sadly many DIY channels do not do this. Much love from Minnesota!

Andrew stepping up his speed throughput, nice🙏

The diameter of a circle that is 1000 square feet is about 36 feet. So, if this box is correct, then it is good for almost 18 feet in each direction from the inside antenna. 1,500 feet only helps a little bit. It makes a reception/broadcast circle of almost 44 feet, or almost 22 feet from each direction from the inside unit. However, this might be fine.

Built a pole barn house with no cell service inside. Installed booster and Love my booster!

Nice video. When I relied on hotspot, id always put my phone in the window. My old phone didn't support connecting to more than one band. Now, my new phone does and my speeds went from 3mbps down in the window to usually around 20Mbps. Seen high as 80 once. Upload chills around 2-3Mbps in the window.

Excellent video! I'm just researching about this and I'll be buying this.

Thanks for making this video!

I enjoy these types of videos having to do about cell phone cellular data or mobile data we call it here in europe. Great video

Great video! You can now have the weather channel on while you work instead of silence! Though I just keep looking at that wall where the stairs will eventually be...When I built my last stairs I just bought 2 2x12x16', cut out the risers and treads from a premade strip, braced the ground end, screwed in to the ledger board, leveled the treads and built a landing where it needed to go. Not a bit of math, but they turned out beautiful none the less. Dying to see how you build the right way, know I'll have to wait though... I could have used your info when I installed my weeboost decades ago. But trial and error also works :) LOVED the ending...Sorry the spray foam went wild on ya, been there done that! I kinda like getting it on my hands. After I'm done for the day sit and pick it off...But in hair? Yikes! I've ruined so many shirts and pants as well as shoes...You'd think I'd learn.."I'll be careful" doesn't work with spray foam!

Thanks for a very informative video!

Hi Andrew the we boost seems to be a good idea. Your review was excellent, thanks. 🇨🇦

Over the years I've used cellphones of various types and played around with passive boosters on the phones themselves,on vehicles,and on a house or two,I've noticed my need to boost signals is less than it used to be. I think phones are better and they do add towers still to this day both of which help alot of course. My current home happens to have a tower within about 1/2 mile so my now broken LG phone always had max signal,the lower level Samsung I replaced it with is only 2-3 bars on average,so phone ability matters too. I am absolutely convinced that powered units do have their good uses,like you showed here. I am also convinced that sometimes,some folks,might only need a lesser passive boost just to bump it up a bit and stabilize it for reliability. Off topic a bit- The absolute worst piece of crap phone signal-wise I owned was a Motorola StarTac(around year 2000),I finally got so frustrated with it I opened it and ran it over with my 96 Silverado 4x4 several times which didn't kill it! LOL. Why makes a phone with such horrible signal so damn tough?!?! Other than signal I liked that flip phone alot,but it was for shit at it's main purpose. I went to LG and stayed with them for 20 years until just recently.

Thanks man need one for are camping trailer your a big help.

im glad i found this channel

Thank You!!!! EXCELLENT video!

Just personal experience, having installed a couple of these on our old ranch house with a metal roof (and almost no signal indoors), I found the WeBoost to be considerably superior product in terms of it's boost abilities. Perhaps others will have different experiences.

Amazboost is a cheaper and to me a better system using cables that are more common. You can also purchase another indoor antenna that is ceiling mount that will provide a better signal throughout your home. Regardless, love watching your videos. You are extremely through! Keep it up!

Andrew - you don't play around! Thank you for such a in-depth video my friend.

Much appreciated. I ordered one.

You do a great job creating content!

Great video thank you

Thank you! Great job.

Every time I see the glass fronted cabinet in your kitchen I want to put the shelves in line with the window frames so the shelves are not seen ...yes I have OCD tendency too lol .Best wishes from the North Norfolk coast UK

thank you VERY MUCH! I needed this

I bought all my items on eBay separately. I have made a dual yagi antenna. I attached a in ground lighting rod, to antenna and house. Have had mine up for 2 years, use my unlimited data with visible for $ 25 bucks a month for telephone and internet.

Hello Andrew Great Review. I got fed up with my Cable Provider last year and cancelled House Phone, Internet and TV and I was able to Get StarLink and Love it I am in Northern NJ and the Internet is on 24x7. I have the first Revision with the Round Dish and Attached Cable I see the Revision 2 it is a Square Dish with the Cable that can be removed from the dish which I like better because if you damage the cable you can just replace the cable not have to replace the entire dish. What I found interesting is being where I live we get that white stuff that falls from the sky (Snow). They updated my software in the winter and the dish actual has heaters in it that melts the snow, I thought that was cool. Love your House build looks like you are almost to the Finish Line and ready to move in.

I came for the antenna, I stayed for the beard foam!

I really enjoyed this.

Holy cow batman, 265,000 views!! Waaaahooo 🥳 Congrats! Fyi... I'm watching all of your videos in order from the beginning.

It worked for me. I went from 3 bars to one when ATT sold out to Verizon. I had a booster but it wasn’t much help. First I checked the frequency and yes it is compatible for both providers. I raised the antenna temporarily using a piece of pvc pipe higher above the metal roof. Instantly saw increased signal. Next step was to make a higher mast to get the best line of sight. Big boost! While rerouting the in cable I noticed great variations in reception. By placing the cable in the attic in several locations I found the best signal location. Note make sure this cable has no overlaps or even close proximity to the rest of the cable. It can parasite itself and cancel out.

Thanks for your information…

Thank you so much for this video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting video. Cell towers polarize ar 45 degrees from vertical. You might improve signal by tilting the antenna.

Thank you

Good info! Laughed when I saw the spray foam in your beard, sorry, not sorry. 😁

Great review i have that same antenna for my cell camera on the pig trap...

I live in the country...and prior to owning a cell phone booster I could only get cell phone reception if I stood in the right spot in my driveway..after I installed a cell phone booster I now get reception any where in my house .. if a person has a reception problem do to distance I seriously recommend getting one ..Oo ya I now get 4 bars..

Just watched this episode on a Oculus VR headset on RU-vid VR app 😮 I swear I was standing in the loft with you, specs of white paint on your thumb, and Bullet barking in the house made me want to look behind me 😳 you’ve got to check that out sometime! LOL

Metal roofs are the best. When it rains here it is so soothing. Except all the flooding we are getting in Kentucky at the moment. I'm in a holler, I wonder if something like this would work here.

Very nice and informative video

Good advice. What I don’t know is whether I need one in the city here, my inside signal poor. I also why you don’t see this type product in any store. And I see no ads for workers doing antenna installations.

I’m just gonna 😂 lol 😂. Great video to .

I just got the att hotspot plan here in rural Michigan and it works great. The best part is by adding auto pay to my account which has 3 lines on it nocked $40 off my bill which makes my hotspot only $10 a month! Anyone with att needs to look into this.

I like my Wilson cell booster. It works great!

The first thing I thought when the video started was DAMN that kitchen :O

Not sure if someone else has suggested this, but you should probably weather proof the coax connector that is outside before it fills with water.

If you have multiple cell towers near enough, it's possible to aim a directional antenna at each and use a combiner to improve download performance. I wouldn't exceed three antennas due to cost and the availability of 3-input combiners. In your particular case, an omnidirectional antenna mounted high enough to clear your local trees might be your best solution but would need lightning protection. Have you considered putting up a Rohn tower? 😉

Best to amplify RF signals directly at the external antenna, yagi or dish and not after a length of cable.. Make a water tight box for the amp and mount it as close to the external antenna with a N to N connector. Should provide an additional 3-4 dB of gain

Thanks for posting this review, and mentioning the apps used. I'm using them now to do some research before making a decision on a booster. We also live in a rural area and depend on T-Mobile's Home Internet Service for internet and we also use T-Mobile for our mobile phone service. There is only one location in our entire home where the home internet gateway (router) gets a decent signal and provides a fairly consistent 70Mbs download and 12Mbs upload. Since I work remotely from home, this is critical; and it has worked well for over 2 years, but our phone connections are always "iffy" at best, even with WiFi calling enabled. This seems like it would solve that annoyance and at the same time improve internet speeds.

Good jod and also good speaker.

I have a WeBoost and I was able to mount my indoor antenna many feet away from the booster. I don’t recall if I purchased additional coax for the indoor antenna.

Good stuff! We've had the weBoost home multi room booster for 2 years now, down here outside of Spartanburg. It recently gave out and we've been looking for an alternative product to hopefully get us some signal gains, as well at hotspot internet. Thanks!

I've got that spray foam on me and it just drives me crazy growl Raw

Hii,Kelly thanks a lot for the video,you made me choose this amplifier! I am from country Georgia and gonna have in Caucasus mountains where two GSM network companies are operating,both provides 4G 800 MHz (B20) would this booster work with this frequency? and second question please,as there is two company operating and we have little signal from both of them,can I choose the one I want to catch the signal from and boost it? or this amplifier does it for both signals at the same time or how this works? thanks a lot!

Andrew would the “future invisible stairwell to the loft” run from the outside wall to the center ish of the loft following the angle of the roof -or - center of room to the edge of the loft ? Leaving a dead spot behind stairs to outside wall

Lol… I was just thinking what does he have in his beard… then I got my answer. It got a rather boisterous laugh out of me even while (or perhaps because) I felt your pain. Good review. Thanks.

Hey... The house is amazing! I'm surprised you haven't got starlink yet. I was on the list for starlink for a year and about 2 weeks .. I finally got the email that it was available to me in mid February 2022 and promptly ordered it. It was delivered about a week and a half later. I love it. Hopefully you are close to getting that same email. The sooner the better. One thing about starlink... they have gone up in monthly fee by $10. They say it's due to current inflation. Not a deal breaker for me... but good fyi for those that don't know.

Do you need a modem for this set up? Or do you just insert the sim card from cell service provider and you're good to go? Thank you for video and your time. Have a Goodin' !

I work on cell phones and i learned from where I work at right now when i get to work i have to turn airplane mode on and off to force it to switch towers and do the same when i get home. hope this helps you some.

All you need for a metal roof is 2 antennas ie old tv channel 2 - 83 Mount 1 outside mount 1 under metal roof hook up both to coax… the inside one will repeat your signal to the outside one and vice versa outside to inside. Called a passive repeater in the rf world… if you get your satellite internet connection you can turn on the wifi calling option on your cell phone … so when your phone has weak cell signal but strong wifi signal it will make calls using your internet connection bypassing the cell towers

Oscillation is a big factor in good download speeds. I find it dosnt effect upload speeds. I have a cheepy off Amazon and it works but it's not actually able to give us all the bands I would like to boost. Was thinking of getting a high boost and I just might.

Hey man..1st time viewer. Will Like & sub. Me & my daughter live on a little piece of heaven on earth my grandmother left me in her will. 20 ish acres with 2 of the property lines being small creeks that merge at the corner of the property. Pretty sweet. Live in a single wide right now,but want to do a pole barn/self build asap. Got to get $ right before I can get started. Getting Close …Finally! L8r

Nearly there!

"It is what it is."

great video! quick question, near me are three towers, I seem to switch between the three depending on which gives the best service. 2/3 of the towers bands are supported by the booster. I have bands 2, 12 and 66. The booster supports 2, and 12 but not 66. Is this okay? or do i need to get a booster that supports all three?

hand lotion to take off spay foam it takes some time but it works vary well.

I'm looking for the best options for my old Japanese house in the country. Currently, the only way I can get cell signal is to go outside, away from the house. The original thatched roof is still on it, but it is also covered by a copper roof. The signal is absolutely killed indoors!

My kit didn't come with the white box or two sets of cable but just the antenna and the black interior antenna/booster and a length of cable approximately 50' long.

Andrew what is the signal app you use to find the towers and all that? I have AT&T and barely get 1 maybe 2 bars of very weak signal even when outside so we desperately need this to enhance and boost our cell signal. Thanks in advance.

Did you mount the booster in an attic area or was it inside the new room? struggling where to get mine mounted.

I’d get home internet ugh. I live in the sticks and my signal here is -120dB or one bar and if my internet’s out there’s little chance I can use any data but I’ve had a booster like yours sitting in a box in the closet for years now so maybe I’ll put it in someday.

Obviously without internet it's pretty difficult to use WiFi calling. However, I know with my iPhone if you do WiFi calling mode with Airplane mode on it will force WiFi calling to work all the time and save your phone from searching for signal. Thus eliminating the need for the booster. I would have thought you would have wanted to install the indoor antenna on the wood facing down as that is most typical for those antennas. The way you have it a lot of the signal is wasted sent to the roof. Probably another good test is for multiple people to use their phones at the same time.

Yeah I just build a new house and put a metal roof on it and now my cell service is down to one and two bars I definitely need something

You should have the indoor ant on your 2nd fl ceiling so your cone of boosted signal covers your 1st floor area

Not sure if this is already been mentioned or not but you having a metal roof most likely remove your need for a 20 foot vertical separation and the two antennas
