WiEx zBoost YX510

A little video showing the signal improvement using a cell phone signal extender. I'm not really sure why I was calling it WiMax, but it's called WiEx.

I just won this YX510 booster from eBay and can't wait to try it out! We actually have the same issue I only get 1-2 bars (3 if lucky) and the calls drop all the time.

A few questions:

How high is that base unit hung from the floor?

Where is your signal antenna mounted? Roof? By the window?

Do I have to have at least the required 15ft minimum between the base and signal antenna?

The base is about 7' from the floor, the receiving antenna is by a window on the 2nd floor, and try to have as much vertical separation between the two

Thanks! I think this will help, Is there a way to install an external antenna? We have a weak sprint signal.

[Hyperite]

yes, the antenna can be placed by a window, in the attic, or outside, you just need to run some coax back to the base

intersting that you never walked around or picked the phone up to prove that you did not have something under the table

Umm... it's a ledge between my living room and kitchen, not a table, and i pulled back to show there was nothing attached to it. It's not like I got paid to fake that the device does what it claims to do...

I recently got one, but it doesn't work right most of the time. I have the antenna outside of a bedroom window and the extender is in the hall between 2 bedrooms. During some calls, I lose complete signal until I go right next to the base unit. Other times the power light flashes and I have no signal, unplugged it, plug it back in and then it works. Not sure were else to put the base unit to get signal in both bedrooms. I figured the walls in the hallway don't help much.

Thanks for the demonstration. I have a steel shed/shop. My phone DOES NOT WORK AT ALL in there. I really need this!

Thanks for the video! I have been looking at this device for purchase consideration, and your demonstration helped a lot.

Well I did go out and buy one and was totally surprized that it really really works. I am impressed. we went from 1 bar to 3 bars for CDMA and 1 bar to 5 bars for GSM. Both are 800Mhz.....for my aircard -105 db to an average -82db. That is with a Yagi antenna mounted in the attic. That's for your comments.
