1. The Smartest and Most Powerful Signal Booster:
Cel-Fi GO X Signal Booster

Starting at $1,099.99

The Cel-Fi GO X is our best-selling single carrier signal booster and it's actually far more powerful than any of our other consumer boosting options.

The reason for this is that the FCC created different rules for different types of signal boosters, which allow single carrier boosters to boost up to 100 dB of gain, compared to multi-carrier boosters that can only go up to 72 dB of gain.

While this may not initially sound like a drastic difference, for every additional 3 dB of gain that is added, the boosting power doubles, so the GO X is actually many, many times more powerful than any of our multi-carrier signal booster options.

So if you're able to get away with only boosting one carrier, then this is the obvious solution.

The carrier that the Cel-Fi GO X boosts can also be easily switched using an app on your smartphone, so if you change carriers down the line, you don't have to buy a new booster.

Finally, the GO X can be configured with many different types of antennas and cables to meet every situation, so you'll be able to create the perfect solution for your situation. You can even install multiple GO X boosters side by side, one for each carrier, so you get the 100 dB of boosting power AND multi-carrier support.

Pros

  • Strongest amplifier on the market.
  • Intelligently analyzes the existing signal and picks the best bands for boosting.
  • Manage the booster from an app on your phone.
  • Outside antenna aiming tool included.

Cons

  • Only boosts one carrier at a time.
  • Not ideal for very weak existing signal areas.

2. The Best Signal Booster for your Whole Home:
weBoost Office 100

Starting at $1,299.99

The weBoost Office 100 was recently released as the replacement for our long-time bestselling signal booster, the Wilson Pro 70 Plus, which was discontinued early this year. It is a fantastic booster in every way, with industry maximum boosting, commercial-grade components, configurable for any situation, and has a 3-year manufacturer warranty.

While the name may have "office" in it, that just means that it's of a high enough quality that it can be used in any building, including in an office setting. If it weren't for its bigger brother, the Office 200, we would also recommend this booster for small to midsize businesses, but as of now, we think it's the perfect booster for boosting all carriers simultaneously throughout your home.

One thing that may be a bit overwhelming is the choice of different types and quantities of antennas, both inside and outside. The goal is to allow you to select the best ones for your situation, but if you would prefer some expert help with your selection, our signal experts are standing by to assist you. Just call 800-590-3564 to talk with an expert.

The only times we would not recommend the Office 100 would be when you have just a small space that needs better signal, in which case this is going to be too powerful for you, you don't have any existing outside signal, so no signal booster will work for you, or you only need to boost one carrier, then it may be worth looking at the Cel-Fi GO X instead. Otherwise, the weBoost Office 100 is recommended booster for your home.

Pros

  • New and improved version of our bestselling booster for the past 3 years.
  • FCC maximum boosting power.
  • 3-year manufacturer warranty.
  • Multiple inside and outside antenna choices & quantities.
  • Commercial grade components.

Cons

  • Does not have an LCD display like the Office 200.
  • Does not have as powerful an uplink as the Office 200.

3. The Best Signal Booster for a Few Rooms:
weBoost Home MultiRoom Signal Booster

$569.99

The weBoost Home MultiRoom is our best signal booster for small to medium homes.

The amplifier is about half as powerful as the Wilson Pro 70 Plus, so you won't cover as large of an area, but that's most likely sufficient for most small to medium size homes.

The kit comes with shorter, easier to run RG6 cable, which should make the installation simpler for your average homeowner. It also includes a 6-inch flat cable to run the cable under a closed window, if desired.

The outside antenna has been redesigned from previous versions to allow you to mount it to a vent pipe on the roof, or to a pole if preferred, and includes wingnuts so you can tighten the outside antenna by hand instead of with tools. The inside panel antenna provides different mounting options for coverage, so you can mount it either on the ceiling, on the wall, or it has a kickstand to place it on a shelf, depending on your preference.

All of these features actually allow you to perform the entire installation without tools, so you can get up and running with a signal booster as soon as possible.

If you're looking for a great solution without breaking the bank, then the weBoost Home MultiRoom is going to be the option for you.

Pros

  • Bestselling small to medium home booster for the past 2 years.
  • Entire installation can be performed without tools.
  • Antennas have been designed to look great in your home.

Cons

  • Cannot do very long cable runs with the included RG6 cable.

SureCall Fusion4Home Signal Booster

$399.99

The SureCall Fusion4Home signal booster is a great alternative to the weBoost Home MultiRoom signal booster if you need to cover a single room or small space.

It has multiple antenna combinations at different price points, so the SureCall Fusion4Home Yagi kit can provide the right amount of boosting at a competitive price.

SureCall is the company that pioneered the modern signal booster, so while it may not be as well known as weBoost, you can be sure that you're getting a top quality booster at an entry-level price.

Pros

  • Affordable price to boost signal in a small space.
  • Multiple antenna combinations so you can choose what works best for you.

Cons

  • Amplifier has to be in the same room you're looking to cover with better signal.
  • Included 50 ft of cable may be too much for some situations.

5. The Best Signal Booster for Your Home that Includes Installation:
weBoost Installed | Home Complete Signal Booster

$1,299.99

The weBoost Installed | Home Complete is the first signal booster for your home that includes professional installation. If you want an expert to come to your home and install your booster rather than installing it yourself, then this is the product for you.

The amplifier included with the Home Complete will boost the signal from all of the major carriers and boosts up to the FCC maximum for multi-carrier boosters. It also has a more powerful uplink back to the cell towers than most other boosters, so it's great for situations where you have a weak existing outside signal.

You'll receive the main components from the system in the mail, and then the tech that installs the booster will bring everything else, including cable, connectors, mounting hardware, and more. They'll analyze the signal at your location to determine the best location for the antennas, cut the cable to the exact lengths, and ground everything for maximum protection.

If you want a solution that will provide maximum boosting and you don't have to lift a finger to have it installed, then the weBoost Installed | Home Complete is definitely the booster for you.

Pros

  • Includes professional installation in your home at no additional cost.
  • FCC maximum boosting power.
  • Great for every situation, including weak existing outside signal.

Cons

  • Only includes one inside antenna. Cannot install more than that if needed.

weBoost Installed | Office 200 Signal Booster

$3,799.99

The weBoost Installed | Office 200 is the only signal booster solution that includes professional installation in your business.

It allows you to place an order, receive some equipment, and then have it all professionally installed, sometimes the next day. And these aren't just any installers, they're the best of the best for installing cellular repeater systems, so you get a solution that is custom-tailored to your business. It's just that easy.

The Office 200 installed is limited to only 2 inside antennas, so if you think that you might need more than that to cover the entire space that you need, then please contact us at 800-590-3564 and one of our experts will be able to confirm whether this is a good choice or whether you should consider something different.

And while this seems great for your home, it can only be installed in a commercial building, not a residence. If you want a booster for your home that includes professional installation, then we have a solution for you as well.

  • Includes professional installation. Satisfaction guaranteed.
  • FCC maximum boosting power.
  • 3-year manufacturer warranty.
  • Commercial grade components.

Cons

8. The Best Signal Booster for Your Car:
weBoost Drive Reach Signal Booster

$499.99

The weBoost Drive Reach has the FCC maximum boosting and the strongest uplink of any vehicle booster has Wilson has ever released, so it can be as far from the towers as possible and still provide usable cell signal.

In tests that we've conducted with the Drive Reach, the booster was able to extend our range an additional 10 miles into heavily mountainous terrain after the cell signal dropped out.

The Drive Reach is also very easy to install in your vehicle. It uses a magnet mount antenna for the roof and flexible cable to run through the car, so you can get the whole thing installed in as little as 5 minutes.

If you need better cell signal in your car, then you can't beat the Drive Reach.

That said, if you have a large vehicle and want to squeeze even more performance out of the weBoost Drive Reach, then take a look at the Drive Reach OTR booster, which pairs the Reach amplifier with a more powerful outdoor trucker antenna to allow you to be even further from the towers.

Pros

  • Strongest mobile amplifier on the market.
  • Magnet mount antenna makes for a quick and easy installation.
  • Get started boosting in minutes.

Cons

  • Magnet outside antenna will not work on vehicles with glass roofs.

9. The Best Signal Booster for Your Truck:
weBoost Drive Reach OTR Signal Booster

$519.99

The weBoost Drive Reach OTR kit takes the most powerful vehicle amplifier from weBoost, the Drive Reach, and pairs it with the most powerful vehicle antenna, the OTR trucker antenna.

The stronger outside antenna enables you to be even further from the cell towers than the standard Drive Reach kit and is the perfect setup if you travel in very rural areas.

The tradeoff for better boosting is that the OTR antenna is fairly large and can only be installed on large vehicles that have a mounting point for the antenna, so it's really best for trucks, semis, RVs, and other large vehicles.

If you're able to mount the OTR antenna on your vehicle and need a powerful mobile booster system, then the weBoost Drive Reach OTR kit will be perfect for you.

Pros

  • Strongest mobile amplifier on the market.
  • Best solution to boost signal in very rural areas.
  • All the boosting of the Drive Reach amplifier paired with the strongest outside antenna.

Cons

  • Trucker antenna can only be installed on vehicles with an antenna mounting point.
  • Installation is more challenging than the Drive Reach.

10. The Best Signal Booster for Your RV:
SureCall Fusion2Go 3.0 RV Signal Booster

$449.99

The SureCall Fusion2Go 3.0 RV Kit is our best solution for boosting signal in an RV while both in motion or stopped.

In order to be authorized for use while driving, the FCC has limited the amount of boosting a mobile signal booster can provide, which includes the Fusion2Go 3.0 RV kit. This means that the size of the area of boosted signal inside of the RV will be fairly small, but should still be more than sufficient to power a hotspot or MiFi device for Internet access, or for normal cell phone use while close to the inside antenna.

The Fusion2Go 3.0 RV kit comes with a complete Fusion2Go 3.0 vehicle kit plus the additional components needed to install it in an RV or trailer (omni outside antenna, cable, and whip inside antenna), so you can actually use the Fusion2Go 3.0 kit in your car and then move the amplifier and power supply to your RV/trailer when you decide to use that.

If you're okay with the trade-off of a smaller coverage area for the ability to use the booster while driving (and stopped), then the SureCall Fusion2Go 3.0 RV Kit is the solution for you.

Pros

  • Can be used while driving and stopped.
  • Receive usable signal miles past the point where it would have dropped out.
  • Can be used both in a vehicle and RV.

Cons

  • Small coverage area inside due to FCC restrictions.

11. The Best Signal Booster for Your Boat:
Drive Reach Marine Signal Booster

$799.99

The Drive Reach Extreme Marine kit is the best signal booster solution for use in your boat or marine craft.

It pairs the most powerful mobile signal booster, the Drive Reach, with the Wilson Marine antenna so you can have quality cell signal many miles more from shore than you could without a booster.

Customers have raved that the performance they received has exceeded their expectations, including some captains extending their range by up to 50 miles.

The performance is going to be very subjective according to where the cell towers are and if the antennas on those towers are aimed across the water or not, but this solution will still give you the best chance of good cell signal while on the water.

A couple of things to note. The inside antenna from the booster needs separation from the outside antenna to prevent the boosted signal going back in the outside marine antenna and causing feedback. It's even better if you can shield the outside antenna from the inside one by placing the inside antenna inside a cabin with walls or at least a roof in between. Additionally, the coverage area provided will not be very large, due to boosting restrictions on mobile amplifiers, so you may need to have your mobile device very close to the inside to receive good signal.

If you have a larger marine craft that needs a large area covered with boosted signal, then please contact us to have a custom system professionally designed. Contact us to learn more and get started with that process.

Pros

  • Strongest mobile amplifier on the market.
  • Get strong signal miles from shore.
  • Marine antenna designed for use in standard marine fittings.

Cons

  • May not work well in small or open bow boats due to not enough antenna separation.

12. The Best Enterprise Solution:
Cel-Fi QUATRA Active DAS Hybrid Signal Booster

The Cel-Fi QUATRA Active DAS Hybrid is a different type of cellular amplification system than any of the other solutions available.

It is classified as a single carrier booster system, so it can boost up to 100 dB of gain, unlike multi-carrier boosters that are limited to 72 dB.

Even though it's classified as a single carrier booster, there are versions of QUATRA that can boost two or four carriers simultaneously, and multiple QUATRA systems can be run side by side to fully support all of the major cell carriers.

The Cel-Fi QUATRA can use either a donor antenna on the roof or an enterprise network extender as a signal source, so the QUATRA can be used in any type of environment, even if there is no existing outside signal.

All of the internal components are connected with CAT6 or better ethernet cable, rather than coax, so the cable runs can be much longer, and existing ethernet cable runs can be used without having to pull more cable.

The coverage units that distribute the signal are powered amplifiers, unlike traditional systems that use passive antennas, so the cell signal is at maximum strength when it is broadcast to the space that needs it.

The Cel-Fi QUATRA has monitoring built-in, so you can keep track of everything that the system is doing, and be alerted for any changes to the system or the signal environment at any point.

A professionally designed QUATRA system can scale up into the hundreds of thousands of square feet, if not larger, so it's an ideal solution for any size business that needs better cell signal.

Since QUATRA is an enterprise solution and not a pre-packaged booster system, it does require a professional design and RF modeling to ensure that you get the desired coverage throughout your space. Contact us to learn more about QUATRA or our enterprise system design and installation services.

Pros

  • Best alternative to a standard DAS system.
  • Can extend to cover hundreds of thousands of square feet.
  • Can be used in environments without existing signal.
  • Significantly longer cable runs with no signal loss with CAT6.
  • Built in monitoring and notifications.

Cons

  • Powered amplifier architecture can be more expensive than traditional passive DAS.

Do cell phone signal boosters work?

One of the biggest questions that we get, apart from "what is a signal booster?" is "do they really work?". This is a fair question, with all of the scammy products that have been released in the past claiming to give you better signal.

Fortunately, you don't have to take our word on whether these solutions work. The FCC and the major cellular carriers have all independently tested every signal booster that is sold on the market today, and have not only approved them for use, but recommend them as a preferred solution for getting better cell signal in your home, office or vehicle.

We'll cover how cell phone signal boosters work in the next section, so you'll see that it's not a magic solution, but rather a combination of high-grade cable, antennas, and a powerful signal amplifier that receives, boosts, and distributes cell signal where you most need it.

What is a cell phone signal booster?

A cell phone signal booster (also known as a cell phone repeater) is a system made up of an outside antenna (called a donor antenna), a cell phone signal amplifier, one or more inside antennas, and cable to connect them all together.

The outside antenna receives cellular signal from the nearby cell towers and passes it over a cable to the signal amplifier. The signal amplifier boosts the strength of the signal, and then passes it over another cable to the inside antenna (or multiple antennas), which broadcasts the strong cell signal to the area that needs it.

The signal booster also works in reverse, so when a phone call is made or data is used by a mobile device, it passes through the system, is amplified, and then broadcast to the nearby cell towers.

As long as you have some usable cell signal outside, a cell phone signal booster should be able to solve your signal problems and provide you with much better service in your home, business, or vehicle.

Will these signal boosters boost 5G?

The current signal boosters on the market for consumers are authorized to boost five major cellular bands in North America. All new future technologies (5G) deployed by the carriers that use one of these five major cellular bands: 700, 850, 1700, 1900, and 2100 MHz will be supported by the current five-band signal boosters. Currently, AT&T and Verizon have 5G networks deployed on these supported bands.

Technologies that are deployed on bands other than that will not be supported by any of the currently available consumer signal boosters.

In addition, carriers have told us that their 4G LTE networks, which are boosted by all of our consumer signal boosters, are not going away anytime soon. Verizon, for example, has committed to 4G LTE through 2030.

This means that a booster you get today will likely work well through 2030. By that time, additional frequency bands should have been approved by the FCC so an upgrade may make sense.

What do 2G, 3G, 4G LTE and 5G mean?

You've probably heard the terms 2G, 3G, 4G LTE, and 5G mentioned before and wonder how those fit in when improving your cell phone signal.

  • 2G was the second generation of cellular technology and was used for allowing people to make and receive voice calls using their cell phone, as well as send text (SMS) and picture (MMS) messages. 2G has been decommissioned and the frequency bands repurposed for new technologies, like 4G LTE and 5G.
  • 3G was the next generation of cellular networks and allowed data to be sent over the cellular networks, in addition to voice calls and text/picture messages.
  • 4G LTE is the cellular technology that replaced 3G and is characterized by significantly faster data rates, as well as allowing voice calls to be sent over the data network, called VoLTE. All cell phones and mobile devices sold in the past few years support 4G LTE.
  • 5G is the latest cellular technology and is currently being deployed around the country. It is broken out into two versions of 5G: sub-6 GHz and millimeter-wave. Sub-6 GHz is 5G that is deployed on the existing frequency bands already in use by the carriers and can be boosted with traditional signal boosters. Millimeter-wave 5G uses very high-frequency bands for maximum data speeds and minimal latency and requires new infrastructure to be deployed, so it is currently only being released in major cities.
