Lintratek Band 5/4/2 Tri Band Signal Booster Verizon AT&T Sprint 2G 3G 4G 850MHz CDMA 1900MHz PCS 1700MHz AWS Cell Phone Signal Amplifier Repeater Kit for Home/Office

First thing: do your homework. Find out what band your phone operates on and where the nearest tower is that supports that band. Also make sure the band you are targeting is the one with the fastest connection. The system I am replacing had an omnidirectional roof antenna. Band 5 from a west tower carried LTE and pretty fast speeds (for our area). Band 12 from an east tower was 4G and slower. Our phones almost always went to band 5 until I installed the previous system, then they kept going to 12 with the slower data speed. The solution was to use a system with a directional antenna so that it would ignore the east tower with band 12. I returned the old system and went to this one.The pros: This booster was easy to install and works great, when it works. I am using it at our family cottage where the only data is cellular. Inside the cottage our signal strength and data speeds were pretty bad,streaming movies and video calls were hit and miss. But up at the roof, I could get 20+mbps down and 2+ up. I like the built in signal screen. It definitely made tuning the antenna a breeze. Once installed and antenna tuned properly, my signal and speed inside the cottage came way up! Usually matching the roof speeds. Streaming movies is no problem. The booster is definitely doing its job. The cable is thicker and more "heavy duty" than other boosters I have tried. Antenna is small and easy to install. Indoor antenna is also small and mounted directly to the unit.The cons: Biggest problem I am experiencing is that our phones will drop to no signal if left unused for a while. We need to turn on and off airplane mode and signal jump right back to full bars. There is obviously signal there... even without the booster we never had NO signal before. The fact that toggling airplane mode remedies it also proves that there is signal there. But there is some reason why the phone is disconnecting from the tower when connecting via the booster. I have a message to the seller and will update if we find a remedy. Other cons to this system. You do need to buy a mast to mount it to. The elements of the antenna are exposed versus being enclosed in a housing. Its probably not a big deal, but only time will tell how it holds up to the weather. The cable connectors on the inside of the home are big, about 3/4 of an inch. That may not seem very big, but you need to drill a big hole through your house to get the connector through, after which there is only the 1/4 inch cable hanging out. That's a lot of hole to fill with caulk, and other boosters have a much smaller connector requiring a smaller hole to be drilled. Coverage inside the cottage seems pretty good, but its not overly impressive. Its a smaller cottage, and is way smaller than the 3000 square feet that this claims to cover, yet in the back bedroom we will only get 2 bars vs the full 5 bars when closer to the unit. The DC power cord is a bit short. Also the incoming cable is mounted on the opposite side of the small part of the keyhole mounting points. So if you hang it on a wall using those points the cable has to come up and over the unit, instead of just hanging strait down.For the most part I am very happy with this unit. Whether or not I keep it will depend on if we can figure out the "no signal" issue.Update: the seller is very responsive and went way above and beyond to resolve the issue. Given the layout of the cottage, the seller worked with me and I installed their new 4 band booster as it has more powerful transmitter and a directional indoor antenna which should reduce/eliminate the antennas interfering with each other. So far everything is working good.

Debo decir que me ha gustado mucho , hay buenas opciones.Ten en cuenta que debes tener un mínimo de señal en el área para su buen funcionamiento.

We've explored a number of options to give us reliable internet access. WIFI boosters sound appealing on the surface, but our (limited) experience finds that even campsites that boast of WIFI service are generally inadequate. At the end of the day, it seems a reliable cellphone signal coupled with a "hot-spot" is the way to go for decent internet.Of course, in many campsite locations, cellphone coverage can be spotty, and especially when inside your trailer, almost unusable. We've explored some of the high-end boosters, such as WeBoost ($600+.. Yikes), and looked for better options.Finally I settled on a Lintratek 5/4/2 band booster for our ATT&T phones (other units are available for other carriers..(Amazon, of course) You must determine which BAND your carrier uses, then choose a version that supports your phone). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1At $149.99, it represented a significant savings over the "brand" names. Best, though, I can't say enough good things about the Lintratek support people. It seems like they were following up every few days to make sure my install was going properly, and were quick to response with advice as I completed the project.END RESULTS: This is the most important aspect of this system, so it needs to be stated here. Once the system was installed and operational, I found that, sitting inside my trailer at our storage site (with generally very limited cell reception, even outside)... with the booster turned off, NO bars. Booster turned ON.. FIVE BARS! Certainly results will vary with environment and circumstances, but I couldn't be more pleased with price, support, and performance!This particular unit seems to have been designed for home or residential use, but we found it performs beautifully in an RV trailer environment. It comes with the booster unit, a very low profile and compact unit than can mount on any wall in your trailer. Also, a very powerful external antenna for bringing in the signals, as well as connecting antenna cable (50 feet worth)The only thing missing is a mast for the antenna.I used inexpensive thin-wall 1" electrical conduit, which I attached "permanently" to our ladder supports at the rear, using Adell clamps around the mast and the supports. Then I made a 5-6 ft removable antenna mast of 3/4" conduit, which slides comfortably into the 1" stationary conduit when at the campsite.This did require a bit of welding, as I welded a threaded nut at the upper end of the stationary fixed mast, and used a thumb screw to secure the smaller antenna mast in place once parked. I also had to fabricate a mounting plate for the antenna itself (another welding job, captive nuts and thumb screws) so the antenna can be attached to the upper mast when on station in just a few seconds. If you don't have welding capabilities, this can easily be bolted together. The removable mast and antenna can be easily removed and stowed in the pass-through in a matter of minutes.Next was the matter of getting the cable from the antenna to the inside of your trailer. The cable connectors are called N-type coaxial. I opted for a pair of N=N type female Bulhead Panel Mount fittings: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1Just drill a small hole in the exterior of your trailer (with a slightly larger hole inside to allow access to the securing nut (best to start from inside) so it terminates in a hidden location inside, such as inside a cabinet, etc)There is also a package of N-type screw on waterproof caps for the exterior fitting when you don't have the cable attached:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1You will also need a couple of N-type 90 degree fittings so the exterior (and interior) cables fit neatly against the wall : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1Your actual booster unit should be mounted inside your trailer as far as possible from the exterior antenna, within reason.When using the through-wall bulkhead fiting, this will necessitate cutting the supplied 50 foot cable into two pieces. One from exterior antenna to exterior bulkhead fitting, and the second from interior-side bulkhead fitting to the actual interior booster unit. To utilize the existing cable, you'll need two additional twist-on fittings for the ends you've cut. For this, you'll need a pair of RG^ F-type Twist-On Ciaxial Connector (the supplied cable with the antenna is apparently "F-type)https://www.amazon.com/gp/your-accou...&startIndex=20AND a pair of MWRF "F" female to N Male screw on fittings: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1For my installation on a MKS 17 I decided to mount the cellbooster unit near the floor on the cabinet wall just to the left of the door when entering:The exterior cable bulkhead fitting went near the aft entrance-door-side of the trailer, and then I ran the cable through the cabinetry to the booster (there are already openings through all cabinets, used for heater duct), so no drilling required.The booster comes with a 110V "wall wart" which supplies 12V power to the booster. If you're a boondocker, it would be a trivial task to connect the booster direct to a 12V source, but we're mostly "civilized" campers, so I just connected the little plug in transformer to the 110V receptacle on the same wall. The unit doesn't come with an on-off switch, so it remains powered until you unplug it. I thought there might be times when I would want to power it down, so I replaced my single toggle interior light switch at the door cabinet with an identical dual switch unit from Amazon: Click image for larger version.Name: 41b1a9IQPfL._AC_.jpgViews: 6Size: 16.8 KBID: 33188 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and wired the 110V receptacle through that second switch to allow powered on/off the booster.It may sound a bit daunting, but no more so than you'd need to do with any of the other boosters, and I estimate my total cost for the system was well under $200.TECHNICAL DETAILS...If I had any criticism, it would be the minimalist details provided with the small "user manual" provided with the kit.Here's what you will need to determine what band your cellphone operates on (and hence, the particular model of booster which supports that band):For Android (possibly iphone too) Download and install the App "LET Discovery. On your phone, disconnect any WIFI connection, and turn on your cell data network... In the app choose "Signal", then check the signal band from the "EARFCN" section of the display.This particular unit supports Band 2,4,5 If your cellphone band is one of those, then this is the unit for you.Inexplicably, the 3 bands on the booster unit are labeled as CHANNEL, not BAND. Here's the cross reference:CH1 Band 5CH2 Band 2CH3 Band 4Finally, at the campsite, when setting up your antenna, you want the longer arm of the antenna to be pointed directly to the nearest cellphone tower (NOT perpendicular as I would have imagined)There is another very helpful Android app which shows the nearest towers, distance, and direction, to make this process simple: It's called "Network Cell Info Lite" use the MAP selection to graphically depict the location of nearest tower.Finally, as the accompanying paperwork does state, you need to be receiving almost 2 bar signal strength on your phone (and hence, the booster antenna) for this booster to be functional (garbage in, garbage out). Anything less, and you will likely see very little, if any, improvement in signal.Use this information at your own buying risk.. This is not to be construed necessarily as an endorsement for this product, I am merely posting my own experience.

I purchased this item to improve my cell phone reception while camping at campgrounds who do not have wi-fi.I tried it in my morothome at my house. Had only 1-2 bars, it improved the signal to 4-5 bars. I need to see who it works while i'm camping.The d.c output cord from the "walwart" to the amplifier is 30 inches long. It would be better for me if it were at least 36 inches long, even 40 inches would be better in my case.

Lintratek Band 5/4/2 Tri Band Signal Booster works with the frequencies of my cell phones and mobile hot spot. I live in a wooded area some 10 plus miles from the nearest cell towers east of us. I have the outdoor antenna up about 12 ft, not very high up with all the trees around us, but it picks up one channel well and with good weather conditions it gets all three channels well. If I can get it up higher, like on an antenna tower or taller mast, I'm sure it would do even better, but if it works, why worry about that? Without it, I get spotty reception of like one or maybe two bars reception with my phone stuck in the window to pick up signal. With the repeater I get full bars and no need to sit by a window for crappy reception. It works well for me and I'd recommend it.

Easy to install seems to be working.

Sadly the "mobile" antenna arrived broken, so I cant use this: looking for a replacement antenna.BUT I was impressed: the vendor offered to replace it after spotting this review.. I decided not to wait for it (even before they offered) and purchased another one on Amazon (they are pretty inexpensive) Proof of a good vendor is how they handle problems.. these guys did great. and changed my review score to a 5!

I have the Telus ZTE smart hub for home internet at our acreage 60 km outside of Edmonton. Our closest tower is 4km away. Originally I had two yagi antennas mounted 25ft above the ground. With these 2 antennas I was able to get 3 bars of signal but my speeds were still crap. I was getting 3mb/sec down and 2mb/sec up. I had a client that was having a similar issue on his acreage and he pointed me towards the signal booster saying that it solved his problem with just one single yagi antenna. I installed it, I took down my dual antennas and just installed the antenna that came with the booster. As soon as I turned it on my smart hub displayed maximum signal strength. The Smart hub doesn’t have any external antennas connected anymore it is just in the same room as the interior portion of the booster. Now I get download speeds of 20 MB per second and upload speeds of 14 MB per second and it’s very consistent. It used to be Sunday evenings our Internet would stop working or be incredibly slow but this past Sunday we were able to watch Netflix all night without a problem or buffering. I could not be happier with this booster it works on Telus is LTE and 3G signal and we also have Rogers phones and it has boosted the LTE and 3G signal on the ROGERS devices as well. I used a 10 foot piece of Central vacuum pipe so that the antenna wasn’t surrounded by a metal pole but I don’t know if that makes any difference.

I Bought this for my off grid hunting cabin. Prior to this I had zero bars unless I used an old wired cell booster. I got this unit and went from no signal at all to 4 3G bars and able to stream Netflix. I was originally having issues with only 1 LTE bar and it was very slow. I changed my carrier settings in my iPhone to only 3G, I’m not sure why but it works better and faster that way. The radius isn’t the greatest and I only get signal inside my cabin. Once I am outside, only about 20 feet away I lose all my signal.I would give this a 5 star if the radius was better and as advertised.

We are in a very remote rural area, and with the latest upgrades I can get 1 bar of LTE from Rogers. 2 bars if I climb a ladder and hold my phone the right way. I was hoping this product would boost the signal to give us enough to get decent LTE data but I guess the signal is too weak here.Although the antenna didn't work for me, everything was well designed and well packed. They included all the cables and connectors required to mount to a pole, they even threw in a roll of electrical tape. So I can't fault the product for the lack of rural mobile coverage in Ontario.

Installer dans mon camion avec une antenne 5g mobile pour pouvoir booster le signal tout les bars son au maximum mais lorsque l'on passe des appels ça laque on vas faire le voyage mais je crois pas que sur le 5g cela soit adéquat du moins aux États-Unis

I work in construction and had to move my office into the basement of the building where there is NO service and surrounded by concrete. I was reluctant to try this given the cheap price and my bad luck with tech products.. I followed the install instructions and as soon as i powered it up it gave me 4 bars LTE! couldn't believe it! It also worked with both my telus ZTE internet stick & modem. It allowed me to make calls and provided high speed internet for my computer which is all i needed!Just as a heads up, I have mine installed in quite a small space ( indoor antenna is installed 5 feet away from my desk ). Im not sure how well it would work if your trying to get strong signal in a large area. Also the cable that comes with it has large female coaxial ends. keep that in mind if you plan on buying extra cable to extend it. your standard coaxial male ends / couplings wont fit. You'll have to buy a certain male coupling / adapter to fit it.keep in mind this only works if you have signal / service in the area you want to install it. (i.e) outside the building. This product does not create service, only boosts it to your desired location.Its been 3 weeks and no issues. I hope it keeps up!
