    "Great Product for weak signal blues."

    by phatspeed7x on May 1, 2008

    Pros: Easy to setup, works great with AT&T, works with wireless internet connections!!!

    Cons: For the best install it does require mounting the antenna outside which means running the cable through walls.

    Summary: My family lives out in the woods were cellphone signal wasn't very good. My dad heard about cellphone boosters on the internet and told me to do some research. I came across this and we ordered it. We went from having no service, to 3-4 bars. I recently got AT&T wireless internet for my computer. Turns out this will also help EDGE network signals too. I have it placed right next to my air card and get full 5 bars. Connections are solid as if I was in town, and download speeds are 350-450kbps. Not quite DSL, but way better than dial up. We don't have a landline at our house but with this extender we don't need one. I would recommend it to anyone who needs better cell phone signal.
