WeBoost (Wilson Electronics) Drive 4GM Cell Signal Booster
I recently aquired a WeBoost Drive 4GM cell signal booster. The 4GM isn't the latest and greatest offering, that would be the Drive 4GX. I was initially drawn to the 4GX plus RV essentials kit which retails for $619.99. The Drive 4GX by itself sells for $479 and the 4GM for $379. I purchased the Drive 4GM from Amazon Warehouse Deals (technically used) for $273. Both the 4GM and 4GX are rated to boost cell signal by up to 50 db. The difference being the 4GX is supposed to be twice as powerful...

Some kind of booster is on our list and I've been getting the WeBoost email sendouts for learning. You should get an A+ on that report. Very well done...helped me a bunch in understanding. Now to win the lottery so we can get the stuff on this list.

And re the link I had included, somebody must have scooped on that deal. To check periodically click the link(s) below. Then where it says "Buying Choices" if there are any used ones available you will see "used" in blue. Click that and it will show what is available along with a description....... 4GM link http://www.amazon.com/weBoost-...keywords=weboost+4gm 4GX link http://www.amazon.com/weBoost-...keywords=weboost+4gx

Re: WeBoost (Wilson Electronics) Drive 4GM Cell Signal Booster
Looks like this will be very useful to us. Just got back from a few days up by Big Basin, very spotty cell and internet service. My truck has built in WIFI so that helps on that end, but inconvenient having to have the ignition in the Aux position (and the keys in the ignition). Good reception and broadcasts very well from the truck to inside of the trailer, AT&T based, but a bit inconvenient and doesn't really solve the phone issue. I could add a separate phone service to the truck I...

Re: WeBoost (Wilson Electronics) Drive 4GM Cell Signal Booster
When Doug brought his over to my camper I instantly made my phone a hot spot and got on the internet....as a test we would turn it off(weboost) and I would instantly loose the internet connection...turn it back on and get back the internet... we tried that test a few times.... it sold me on one....!!!! I'm now going to buy another two mini antennas and drop the wire from one down the Fridge vent and put a Velcro mount on the back of my dinette seat for the unit. The other one I will mount in...

He did. I was looking at non weboost branded cell antennas. I'll keep it as is for now though. Doug - I don't expect it to create signals, I just hope it expands on the fringe singals. As a benefit though, I am on Google Fi, which is (Sprint/T-Mobile/US Cellular) and my wife is on Verizon... so we'll see who does better. The only thing I could think may work better for us is instead of the hersey bar internal antenna is the dome or wide area antenna for houses. That way you wouldn't have to...

For a little more info, and a decent video, the rv bloggers "Wheeling It" published just today a review of the weBoost 4G-X OTR product. They also reviewed 3 different antenna options and compared the new box to the cradle unit they had before. Wheeling It Booster Review

Okie Doke. I installed this today in about 5 minutes. I say installed, but really I just plugged in everything and tried it. I am using the pre-built platform for my WIFI antenna. I have an junction box that was already on my roof from my Solar, so I previously installed two plates to it. Sealed it with sealant, and then would shove my vertical wifi antenna in when not in motion (or when I needed it). I adjusted it by backing out the screws slightly. I bought an L, and an steel electrical...

First time I have needed a boost to get data, here parked alone Rockhouse Rd near Borrego. Unwrapped the weboost and stuck the antenna up on the truck hood. Inside, went from almost nothing to 4 bars of 4G. This will be really nice up in the mtns of Colo, where signals go to die. I like it. New project on my list, a permanent installation. Now, how to get the coax thru the roof?

weBoost Drive Reach RV — Your Thoughts?
We regularly run into poor cell coverage when camping, primarily at state- and national parks. We also encounter cell “dead zones” while driving. We’re not heavy data users by any means, but we do like to stay in touch with friends and family, to monitor the weather, and to be able to communicate with our next site’s staff if necessary. And, we’re planning to drive to/from Alaska next year. For example, cell coverage at Doris Campground in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge near Lawton,...

Question on WeBoost performance: I'm planning on using this for zoom calls from State Parks. I'm going to need at least 1.5Mbps to host effective meetings. Has anyone checked their network speeds with and without the WeBoost? Obviously this question is totally location dependent, but I'm wondering if anyone has done any network speed comparisons with and without the WeBoost

Our new WeBoost DRIVE Reach RV cell booster with optional DC-DC power brick arrived today. Delivery took a couple of extra days due to recent Wx challenge, but the reschedule was not an issue for us. Our next trip is scheduled to start on March 20, and our TC is at an off-site storage facility. So, we’ll bring it up a few days early to de-winterize and work on a couple of mods.😉 Woo Hoo!

Our WeBoost Drive Reach RV plus options DC-DC converter power brick arrived today... delayed a few days due to weather; no biggie, obviously. Our camper is in off-site storage at the moment, waiting for our next trip starting on March 20. I’ll probably bring the camper up a few days early to tackle the installation. Woo Hoo! Jim / crewzer

Re: What is being used for incoming Verizon signal boosting ?
We also use a WeBoost Drive Reach RV, and our external antenna is on an extendable painter’s pole which is usually attached to the roof ladder. Note this particular kit ships with an AC power adapter but not a DC adapter. We purchased a DC adapter so that we can use the system while boondocking. HTH, Jim / crewzer
