4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the investment!, August 27, 2010

This review is from: Wireless Extenders zBoost YX039 Dual-Band Directional Outdoor Signal Antenna (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I purchased the zBoost SOHO YX545 Dual Band Cell Phone Signal Booster for my home and it had very little improvement in signal from outside to inside with the antenna it came with. In consulting zBoost support it was recommended to get the YX039 Dual-Band Directional Outdoor Signal Antenna Upgrade. I went from no signal with maybe 1 bar on my cell before installing the YX039, to 5/all bars. It made all the difference in the world! I wish it came with a mount, however I made one very simply with 2ft piece of 1" PVC pipe and a 50cent PVC wall bracket from HomeDepot, to mount to side of house.

Vendor was quick to process and ship. I ordered on Tuesday and had it in-hand before weekend to install.

I installed the zBoost SOHO YX545 about 5 months ago and have had great luck with it using the default antenna. Unfortunately, about 3 weeks ago the signal pattern changed where I had the antenna installed and the signal strength in my house dropped to about 30% of what it had been. Keep in mind that the 30% signal strength was still better than it had been without the zBoost - but it's still a significant drop once you get used to '5 bars' throughout the house.

I guess I could have gone back to the roof and just adjusted the location of the exterior antenna again, but that didn't seem like a good long-term solution. I don't really want to be on my roof every 3-4 months moving this antenna around (and drilling new holes in my chimney every time).

My first instinct was to get an upgraded indoor antenna for the... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars It this product doesn't work for you, then you're doing something wrong, October 21, 2011

I've been reading the customer reviews on the YX039 and find that some customers aren't satisfied (i.e. it didn't work as promised) and I believe that these individuals judged the product prematurely without understanding the facts about RF and antenna theory. So, let me educate our potential future buyers of the YX039. (1) DO NOT use the cheap RG-6 mini cable that came with the booster as it is worthless. Go out and buy no more than 50ft of good quality RG-6 cable from somewhere else. I've used both and I can definitely tell the difference in signal strength within my house. 2) DO NOT use more than 50 ft of cable. Anymore than that will significantly reduce the signal coming from your antenna into your booster, which will result in less "bars" inside your home. 3) Mount the YX039 AS HIGH AS POSSIBLE. Remember - just like your cell phone, the antenna works off of "line-of-sight". If you live in a low-lying area and/or you are surrounded by trees, houses, and other obstructions,... Read more
