Using this unit's attenna on my roof, I get 6 bars consistently in my house, witth the unit in my house. Since I have a blue tooth head set for my phone, I set the phone next to the unit and get full coverage no matter where I walk in my house. As explained in the set up directions, I went up on my roof with my cell phone prior to installing the unit. Before buying this unit, I had no bars of coverage in my house. I use it both for my cell phone and the sky card on my computer. I am very glad I invested in this product. It works well for both purposes. I got 4-5 bars (out of six) on my roof.
but what i do have is heads and tails over intermittant service. initially i had some difficulty but the customer service representative was extremely helpful.now i can actually make phone calls from the room in which the extender is located.no dropped calls, no every other word missing. i live in an area where cell phone service is sketchy at best; there is no alternative for land lines. assembling the unit proved to be quite simple. unfortunately, it does not extend to the other rooms in the house.
Works great for a single office but I doubt you'll be satisified for an 1800+ sq ft home.I used it to get good signal into my basement home office and it works great for that. It does not create or boost the outside signal and the range inside might be less than you hoped. Used to have 0-1 bars and now have 2-4 bars.Also be aware that the outside antenna must be 12 or more feet higher than the inside transmission unit or they will interfere with each other.If you take these caveats in mind and it still meets your needs you will be satisfied. This product does what it is advertised to do. It will take an acceptable outside signal and bring it inside. Before I couldn't hold a call for more than a minute without dropping and now I can hold a 2 hour phone call with only minor signal issues.
I used to have to stick my head up to the window in my office to talk on my cell phone.now I can just sit in my chair.much better believe me. Boosted my signal 2-3 bars.more important, my iphone now works fine where before it would barely stay connected on a call.
I sent the item back, and Amazon gave me a full refund. I separated them as much as I could; however, it would only work while I was standing right next to the base unit. I set the box up, but the instructions say it needs 15 feet of VERTICAL clearance between the base unit and the antenna. If you can set the antenna on the roof, 15 or more feet above the base unit it might work. I bought this item for my new apartment because the signal here is weak. I loose a lot of calls but there is good signal next to the window. maybe a 3' to 4' radius.
