CAWebsite Full of Inaccuracies and Confusion..... I have ordered and just received a We Boost Drive Reach RV. Initial testing looks promising, but my main use will be in the summer. My review is based solely on the web site, and chat experiences. The web site is full of errors, making product selection difficult. Case in point is the Drive Reach RV. The "what's included" pictures are different than what is contained in the online manual. So you don't know what you are actually going to get when you open the box. I am referring to the mounting brackets (claps onto ladder-pipe) and other bits. Then to try to confirm what was included, I engaged with the online chat, and the tech advised that they were would not be included. I was pleasantly surprised to open the box, and find the mounting bracket in the box, (yay)!! But this is contrast to what the tech told me, and what the website says is included. Next up, the part numbers for the individual components is confusing. The Drive Reach and Drive OTR have the same external antenna, but show different part numbers. So the shopper is left wondering what is different, and which one is better. When they are the same, (except for some mounting bits, OR because they are part of a different model (OTR vs RV)). So in the end, I spent waaay too much time, trying to figure out what to buy, owing to inconsistent information on the web site, techs providing wrong info, and part numbers that make comparison difficult. I hope that the product functionality makes up for these glaring shortcomings on the web site.

GBPurchased a reconditioned cell amp Output of amp is not what was expected. The amp was suppose to cover 2500 sq ft, when I installed it, you had to be within 6 feet to have any improvement in cell service. Found out from wilson tech support that the reconditioned unit I purchased with a one year warranty has a high failure rate within one to two months. Very disappointed that the reconditioned unit is not reliable!!

GBCauses overheating in Verizon Mifi Jetpack After talking to customer rep, I apparently ordered wrong power supply. Would have appreciated a notification that power supply I ordered was not compatible with amplifier I ordered. Specifically talked to rep re my use with Verizon Wifi Jetpack. Was transferring large files between two computers on my homegroup. Took several hours, but Jetpack failed due to overheating by amplifier.

GBwe have an all metal home and our local … we have an all metal home and our local phone co. dropped all their cell service, we had a very weak signal from a distant tower that would sometimes let us make a call from outside our home showing one bar on our phones. after installing the 4G booster we have good signal inside our home with some areas showing 4 bars and -85 dbs. we are not very tech savvy and when one of our "smart" sons comes to visit they can probably help us position the equipment to get even better reception.

GBThe weBoost 4g-x OTR is exactly what we needed. As full-time RVers we travel to some pretty remote places where without a cell booster we'd have no communication or internet. We bought the weBoost 4g-x OTR because according to our research, it was the best. We have not been disappointed. The first time we turned it on, it boosted our signal from abysmal -130 dBm to very usable -97 dbm.
