How It Works
Signal boosters increase cell signal by collecting signals with a powerful antenna, delivering those signals to the booster, amplifying the cell signals so your devices receive them, and delivering your device's boosted signals back to the cell tower.
Receives
Signal
The booster reaches out to the cell tower to access voice, text and data signals while parked.
Boosts
Signal
The booster receives the outside signal, amplifies it up to 32x and sends it to the inside antenna.
Expands
Signal
The inside antenna broadcasts the boosted signal to devices inside the RV

Excellent for boosting cell and data in low service areas!
This unit replaced our first WeBoost (at least 8 years old!), and with the improved technology, we went from nothing (including cell phone) without any booster, to spotty but slow internet with the previous model, to now getting 4G, high-speed, consistent connection with the 4G-X RV. Very impressed that we can be camping on Padre Island in weak service, and 'working' online with super fast speeds! This upgrade is going to expand our horizons of where we can RV to for extended amounts of time!

Mixed review after using in Walden Colorado in RV
Install was pretty easy and straightforward on my Class A Dutch Star. I used the old TV antenna mount that I can crank up and down for extra height (I do not use the TV antenna). The inside antenna is on the kitchen counter, about a total of 15-20 feet from the outside antenna. When I first powered it up.. I went from about 118db to 95db-89db which is great (3-4 bars of LTE). I could make phone calls no problem. But checking basic emails was not happening, and loading any web page would stall immediately. Periodically, the signal would completely disappear (no signal), for about 2-3 hours.. then back to 3-4 bars of LTE. No oscillation according to the main unit (which says it will display a red light if this happens). I guess I expected to be able to load pages or check emails easily, especially with 3-4 bars of LTE. But being able to at least make a phone call if it's an emergency is still good to have. I boondock a lot in Moab and remote areas of Colorado, and usually have spotty signal with just the phone. Not sure if moving my outside antenna would make a difference, but I plan on making a higher extension for the crank antenna to place it another 12 inches above the old unused batwing, just for some off chance it was interfering with the weboost. (This is for the newest version of the RV model)
Still Trying to Make It Work
I've owned my 4G-X RV for about nine months. Did not see any credible boost upon initial testing. The issue, based on further testing, was postulated by the vendor as low output from the supplied 12v power supply. They were kind enough to send me out a replacement 12v power supply to bring the output up above 5v. The system worked great for one subsequent camping trip last fall but subsequently lapsed back into a marginal performing state. Called the Help Line on 1/2/20 and the technician (Greg) suggested doing a speed test at home while parked in my driveway. The weather here finally permitted such a test yesterday. I did 30 total runs, three with the weBoost off followed by three with it powered up, and so on. The ZTE phone with the 4G connection was literally touching the top of the transmitting antenna. Average download speed with the weBoost off was 7.97 Mbps; with the weBoost on the average improved to 9.55 Mbps. Average upload speed with the weBoost off was 10.85; with the weBoost on the average had a noticeable improvement to 18.57 Mbps. If this performance is nominal and given optimized download speeds are the most important criterion for my applications, was a $500 investment worth the currently observed (even in a signal-rich environment) 20% improvement in speed? Perhaps the replacement 12v power supply has also become defective. My next tests will be the output voltage of the replacement 12v supply (again) and perhaps also try to run the system off the 120v converter and see what happens.

Unbuffered YouTube when others had no 4G signal.
Worked flawlessly in Slab City, Niland, California where other campers had no 4G signal. This area is notorious for spotty internet. Was able to watch unbuffered YouTube 24/7. My camping neighbor was so impressed he will be ordering a WeBoost kit soon.

When you need it....You Need It!
These Drive 4G-X products work for those hard to reach areas, but as they are clear, it does take something to amplify to begin with. In general, the 2x2 MIMO of a NightHawk or JetPack 8800L will work better without amplification in Moderate coverage areas, but in those hard to reach areas, the amplifier means being connected versus not. I do wish there were more diagnostics tools available to help improve the percentage of time the WeBoost Drive 4G-X provides a benefit. A manual on tools and techniques to improve the performance would be great. I have used the SureCall RF power meter to help aim the WeBoost Directional antennas, but those RF power measurements were not as clear as expected on aiming the antenna. Having just the red and green LED to indicate feedback seems a bit limited on help improve the performance in very heard to reach areas.

Doesn't do what it claims
I have installed this product as per the instructions and use a Netgear Nighthawk mobile hotspot router. I have tried repositioning the antenna, resetting etc, it makes no difference to my signal, $money I could spent in other areas.

I would return this if I could......it just doesn't work.
I installed the 4G X RV in my motorhome. Got the green light on the unit. With unit off I get 1 bar, with the unit on I get ONE bar and sometimes less. There is no increase in service or signal. I'd return it in a minute if I could.

Not difficult, but tedious to install
I have installed this on my PleasureWay Ascent Class B motorhome, essentially a camper conversion of a Mercedes Sprinter van. To avoid drilling holes in either the roof or a sidewall, I installed the antenna using the Mercedes roof track and then ran the cable along the roof track to the back door. I had to create an antenna mount for the outside antenna, using a WeBoost mirror mount and spring and a piece of aluminum that I cut and drilled to accommodate the antenna, so that I could use the Mercedes track.Closing the door hardly dents the cable, because of the generous weather stripping around the door and frame. The white cable is hardly noticeable on the white RV. The cable is then strung inside the window valance (so that it won't show) to a cabinet in which the TV antenna booster is located. I mounted the WeBoost on the inside top of that cabinet, which allows me to maintain the same amount of useful room for the items I normally store inside the cabinet. I hard-wired the WeBoost to the 12v power that powers the TV antenna booster, adding a switch that conveniently allows me to turn both boosters off and on. Incidentally, there were no instructions for hard-wiring the power supply. Although the steel roof of the van separates any signals from the outside antenna and inside antenna, and there are no windows in between, the WeBoost flashes to indicate a slight feedback before going to steady green. Although the bars on my iPhone don't indicate much improvement, switching the iPhone to test mode shows a distinct improvement. Since installing the WeBoost, I have not yet traveled to one of my favorite camping spots, which has such poor cellphone reception that I can only text--no data or voice reception. I'm anxious to see if the WeBoost improves that. One additional thing: I had several email communications with WeBoost and found their customer service to be outstanding--very prompt and accurate responses from each person with whom I was in contact.

So far, so good--noticeably better reception
I installed my WeBoost in my Class B motorhome. There is some slight feedback between the antennas (a flashing light when first powered up, then steady green), but it does seem to work as intended. Most of my testing so far has been in the driveway, largely because the weather hasn't been conducive to camping or traveling. But it's still a realistic test, because reception is otherwise pretty marginal. I'm impressed with the overall quality of the pieces and parts, as well as the responsiveness of the WeBoost support team. There appear to be no shortcuts in putting together the kit. In the process of installing, I had some issues, and WeBoost responded quickly.

Question: Would it possible to use the indoor antenna outside so I don't have to run the cables through my RV? I'm thinking of affixing that antenna to my slide out window which would still be within range for our products inside. If the 'indoor' antenna is not weatherproof, is there one that is to accomplish this setup? Thanks so much.
Answer: Thank you for your question! Unfortunately, the booster is regulated for indoor use only. It would go against the FCC regulations to place the indoor antenna outdoors to broadcast the boosted signal out there. The indoor antenna would need to remain indoors at all times. If you have any other questions or concerns in regards to this, please do not hesitate to reach out to our customer support team at 866-294-1660. Thank you!

Question: Can I use 2 antennas in my RV? A directional when parked and an Omni while driving?
Answer: Thank you for your question! This depends on the system that you are using. If you are using a vehicle system like the Drive X or Drive X RV, then yes, you can use the directional antenna while parked and Omni while driving. We just recommend bringing the directional antenna inside when mobile as it will run the risk of falling if left on. If you are using a system like the Connect RV 65, this system must be used while stationary at all times. Even if using an Omni antenna. This is due to FCC regulations. If you have any other questions that need to be addressed, please feel free to reach back out to us at 866-294-1660 or email us right back. Thank you and have a great day!

Question: I want to use the Drive X RV system (471410) on my 28' travel trailer. I would also like to be able to use the booster to increase signal strength in my tow vehicle while pulling the trailer. Is there anything I can do to use the booster to increase signal in tow vehicle while towing and then use booster to increase signal in trailer while I am parked?
Answer: Thank you for your question! It may be best to move the booster to your tow vehicle while you are mobile and move it to your travel trailer while stationary. You can purchase the low profile internal antenna (314401) separately for your tow trailer. If you have any other questions that need to be addressed, please feel free to reach back to us at 866-294-1660 or email our online support at [email protected] Thank you and have a great day!

Asked by Luis 4 months ago
Question: Hi, If I move the internal antena outside when camping, will it give me signal near the antena? What is the range of the interior antena on the RV model? Thank you.
Answer: Thank you for your question! The internal antenna needs to remain inside. It would be against FCC regulations to broadcast the signal outdoors. The desktop antenna can broadcast the signal up to 0 feet. It is best to keep your cellular devices within 4 to 10 ft for the best connection. If you place your antenna near a door or window, the signal may be strong enough to where it reaches outdoors but it may not reach far. If you have any other questions that need to be addressed, please feel free to reach back to us at 866-294-1660 or email our online support at [email protected] Thank you and have a great day!

Asked by Bill Davis 4 months ago
Question: How does it know what carrier you are using. How does your cell phone know to use the we boost instead of the incoming signal.
Answer: Thank you for your question! The booster will automatically increase whichever signal is available as long as it is supported by our boosters. It is important to keep in mind that the coverage and boost expectation of a booster is highly dependent on the outside signal strength. For example, lets say that you need to amplify both Verizon and AT&T, but Verizon has a stronger signal. The Verizon user will most likely see a stronger increase. The booster will not only automatically amplify the available signal, but it will also automatically broadcast it to the available phones. Once your phone is near the internal antenna, it will automatically receive the amplified signal over the weaker signal being sent out by the towers. If you have any other questions that need to be addressed, please feel free to reach back to us at 866-294-1660 or email our online support at [email protected] Thank you and have a great day!

Question: Can I connect a laptop to this system? Or only cellphones?
Answer: Thank you for your question! Any cellular device can receive the boosted signal as long as their carrier is supported and available in the area. If the laptop is using a cellular hotspot, the hotspot itself may be able to benefit from the boosted signal. To clarify, the booster will only amplify a cellular signal and not WiFi. If you have any other questions in regards to this, please feel free to reach back to us at 866-294-1660 or email our online support at [email protected] Thank you and have a great day!
