Amazon.com Product Description

Designed for travel and single-users, the Wireless Extenders YX300 zBoost zP Wireless Personal Booster amplifies cell phone signals to improve coverage for one room, with improved signal up to 6 feet away from the unit. The YX300 is ideal for single users in dorms, hotels, homes or offices, and it includes everything you need--window unit, antenna and power supply. There's no set-up--just put it in the window and plug it in. It works with most CDMA (Verizon, Sprint) and GSM (AT&T, T-Mobile) carriers in the United States (not compatible with Nextel phones).

Using a revolutionary, patent pending technology that protects the carrier network, the YX300 improves indoor cell phone coverage by capturing and repeating the outside signal, bringing it into the building and enhancing it. This process creates a "Cell Zone" in your home or office.


Improve your cell signal with the dual-band YX300--perfect for single users and for traveling.

With the YX300, you'll increase your indoor cell signal coverage for your workspace (4 to 6 feet) as well as decrease dropped or missed calls and help extend the battery life of your phone. The YX300 communicates with the cell phone tower from a small window-mount antenna which should be installed in a location with at least 1 bar of signal. This antenna is connected to the amplifier unit by a 20 foot cable.

5.0 out of 5 stars It works, October 19, 2007

I was skeptical but it did improve the signal strength of my Sierra 595U through Sprint going from 1 bar to as many as 5. But some of that depends on weather conditions, yet at a minimum so far regardless of other variables at the same location it has increased signal by 1-2 bars at least, sometimes more. What this has meant for my wireless reception is my connection speed is fairly consistent from 300kbs-580kbs. Still not stellar, but better than dial up and better than the sporadic switching from 1x to EVDo that was going on prior to obtaining the booster. Like it says, if you have NO signal now, it will not pull in one. But if you have at least one bar it's supposed to work, and with me it did.

5.0 out of 5 stars It works but you need to be close..., June 16, 2008

This review is from: Wireless Extenders zBoost YX300-PCS-CEL zPersonal Dual Band Cell Phone Signal Booster (Wireless Phone Accessory)
once i figured out the black antenna goes near the phone and the white receiver box goes in the window it was working perfectly. If there were some better instructions i should have known that, but the picture on the manufacturer web pages confused me.

Red light means the antenna is to close to the receiver. Green light means is sitting idle and ready for a call. Flashing green light means you are on a call and it is handling the connection. If you move away the light goes solid green and cell signal drops, moving closer again the signal comes back and the light begins flashing again. This is what i have experienced and hopefully it helps...

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes my basement office usable, December 17, 2007

This review is from: Wireless Extenders zBoost YX300-PCS-CEL zPersonal Dual Band Cell Phone Signal Booster (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I work from home and recently moved to a new house. I could get cell phone reception in my basement office but would consistently drop calls after about 3 minutes. Aftet installing the YX300 booster, I can now keep connected and no longer have to worry about drops.

The YX300 consistently boosted my signal from 0-1 bars to a steady 2 bars. It's not as strong a signal as I get upstairs, but it is certainly usable.

The range on the antenna is about 6 feet, which is just what the manufacturer advertises. I can't roam about the office with my cell, but it does give a nice steady signal in the area around my desk, which is where I spend all of my time.

I would recommend this to anyone who needs a boost in their cell phone signal and remains in a fixed area such as a desk. If you're looking to improve cell coverage for a house or even a large room, this is not the device for you.

Recommended.
