Don't Let Your Phone Decide How Much Range You Deserve!
The Wi-Ex zBoost YX545 SOHO is a dual band cell phone signal booster that is designed specifically to improve the cell phone signal within your home/office to avoid dropped calls and missed calls. This is the perfect solution for your home or office if dropped cell phone calls is a problem. The YX545 increases the reception of your cell phone by acting as a mini cell phone tower. The main antenna is mounted in a place that gets great reception, such as out a window, on a roof, or in an attic. That antenna is then connected to the base unit inside the home or office. The base unit extends the reception throughout the local area. Acting as your personal cell phone tower, the zBoost YX545 is the ideal solution to dropped calls and poor cell service. It is backed by a 30 day money back guarantee and a 1-year manufacturer's warranty.
Designed for consumers, the improved zBoost SOHO YX545 cell phone signal booster extends a Cell Zone™ for multiple users and ALL devices operating on 800 and 1900 MHz frequency bands except those using Nextel/iDEN, 4G or 2100MHz. The new zBoost SOHO improves coverage by 20% over the zBoost YX510 and boosts signal up to 3000 square feet, making it perfect for your home or office. The package includes everything you need: zBoost amplifier base unit, base unit antenna, power supply, coaxial cable (RG59-mini), signal antenna and mounting hardware. The wide radio wave beam width directional antenna receives signals from multiple cell towers.

No service for AT&T - T-mobile or Verizon. So it was land line or zBoost,
All our cells now work, some better than others. But we get a minimum of three and sometimes and some places in the house gets four bars. A big improvement over zero

I am a vendor that moves from show location to show location. I work at some places that have no cell phone coverage. I purchased my zBoost YX545 about 6 months ago. Now I am able to get fairly consistent 3 bar coverage in these remote areas. I move it every day from my working location to my temporary lodging. Instead of taking down the entire setup each day, I simply purchased a second antenna. That way I only have to move the base unit. At one show, I set up between 2 metal buildings. So I have to have the antenna at least 30 feet in the air to obtain coverage. When I set it up I do not have to worry about which direction the closest cell tower is since the zBoost seems to be unidirectional. I think it is a wonderful product that works with almost all cell phone carriers. It also works with my 3GL Verizon Hot Spot Internet connection. Verizon told me that it would not work this way successfully with 4GL. But I don’t think I will ever have to worry about getting 4GL Internet in the boonies.
Now, here is the negative. The advertisement claims up to 3000 feet of coverage (from the base unit). The brochure that comes with the unit claims up to 2500 feet of coverage. In reality, coverage is more like 15-20 feet. But, compared to no coverage, 15 feet is wonderful.

We live in a rural area which already makes our cell phone signal weaker but we also have a metal roof on our house. Installing the zBoost allowed us to use our phones and internet hotspot anywhere in the house with as strong a signal as we got outside the house.

I use my zBoost yx545 at camp, before the zBoost I would have only one bar of signal strength outside the camp and only in certain areas. Now when I turn the power on the zBoost I have three bars inside the camp and one to two bars outside close to camp. I have showed this product to my neighbors around camp and they are talking about getting one themselves.
I'm very happy with this product.

I am very pleased with the performance of this booster. I went from no bars to 3 bars throughout the house and the mifi works exceptionally fast. Very happy I purchased the booster.
