Destroyallcubes Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I picked up a wilson signal booster at bestbuy for $250, normally $399. I am going to attempt a setup and see how well it performs. I will try a window, and hopefully pole setup. I have a tall old tv antenna running up the side of my house. I hope i can get high enough (scared of heights) to get good reception. This is going to be for testing purposes. Any suggestions for these types of installs? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miguell2 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Make sure you mount it and ground it with the appropriate hardware. As long as it is outside it will get much better reception than what it can get inside, on the pole and pointed to a tower will work best. Make sure that the antennas point to opposite directions to avoid oscilation (much like a mic and speaker) which will cause the unit to shut down.

Ive tried outside up on the roof not mounted, but it just makes the sprint evdo/LTE data not work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
