20 Best Signal Booster For At&T (2023 Updated)

Setup may be difficult for a novice. Took numerous calls to ATT until reaching a bright young man. He sent me a link to setting up my router that is not in the User manual. My default router settings (MG-7540) were stopping the network connect.

Had to log into my router and set MTU size to 1492 and then set Block Fragmented Packets to Disabled. Works perfectly now – 5 bars. All router settings below – Very Techie Please be advised that the router manufacture or the ISP provider will not provide support for AT&T MicroCell, but they can assist with configuring the following router settings: -DHCP is on -Data is not restricted from passing through ports 4500 and 500 (AKA Port Blocking).

-MTU size is set to 1492 -MAC address filtering is either turned off or allowing the MAC address of the AT&T MicroCell IPSec Pass-Through is Enabled -Block Fragmented Packets is Disabled -If using multiple routers, the Microcell must be connected to the first router connected to the broadband modem -If the MicroCell is connected to a router that is connected to a modem and both the router and the modem have NAT (Network Address Translation) enabled, disable NAT either in the router or the modem.

-Ensure the modem / router is using the latest software (firmware). Please see the manufacturer’s documentation. -TCP/UDP Ports Note: All ports listed need to be configured for inbound and outbound connections.

-123/UDP: NTP timing (NTP traffic). -443/TCP: Https over TLS/SSL for provisioning and management traffic. -4500/UDP: IPSec NAT Traversal (for all signaling, data, voice traffic). -500/UDP: IPSec Phase 1 prior to NAT detection (after NAT detection, 4500/UDP is used).

-4500/UDP: After NAT detection, 4500/UDP is used.

I recently switched from Verizon to AT&T. My home gets terrible coverage with both providers despite living in a residential area 20 mins from Philadelphia. Just a bad zone. Verizon gave me 1-2 bars max.

AT&T is worse. 1 bar max and only able to max/receive calls from certain rooms. It was a mess. I tried WiFi calling, but even with the iPhone XR connected via WiFi calling and a review of settings with my Router Manufacturer I still had poor connectivity.

Enter the AT&T Microcell. WOW. I realize these are not sold anymore, but what a difference it made. I now have FULL signal in every room (including basement office) and no issues making calls. It has been a huge blessing.

The Microcell Tower does what it is supposed to, when it works. That caveat is the only reason I can’t give it a perfect score. I have had 4 of them in 2 years. They work for a little while, and then die.

After 6-8 months, my experience is that you will see the indicator lights show everything is OK, but your phones will no longer see it. And now, AT&T no longer sells directly or supports this product.

You have to get them second-hand, and pray that it is de-registered, or you will not be able to use it. Mine has to be rebooted every day, and I will get about an hour of use before it dies again.

It works Great! But your phone has to be in the cradle. Doesn’t work otherwise. I want the multi user thing because I have a wife and sometimes we’re both using our phones simultaneously.

Fed ex said the package arrived in less than a day but I called and no package. I live a very rural area. My cell phone is iPhone 11 Pro Max. So my phone is fine. I still get ok signal. Sometimes better signal.

Before was 2 bars 3G now I am at 4 bars 3G on a good day. I am not a OTR 18 wheeler truck driver so put this on my Dodge pickup. I think I should have bought the 4G-X model instead. But its way more expensive for me.

Literally, right out of the box, I pressed 2 buttons, (WPS on both AT&T fiber modem and on the 4920) waited 3 minutes and was done. (I did have the LAN cable attached at the time to port 1 on the 4920 and one of the network switch ports) Unbelievably easy setup.

It also configured the Ethernet connection. I connected the 4920 to my 100mb switch, and am getting maximum ISP speed “on wifi” in that area. It configured itself on a new wifi channel as well and used existing name and credentials of the fiber modem.

Our AT&T fiber modem is using channel one for wifi (dark red arc in attached picture) and the 4920 selected channel 11. (dark blue arc in attached picture) That way “handoff” is transparent and you don’t have to have two sets of credentials.

I’m back here on Ebay to order another 4920 for a remote shop/RV garage I’m almost done building. I know this is a review of the product but I’m also going to add that the seller shipped immediately.

(USA shipper).

I assumed that all AirTies 4920’s were generic despite the external labeling. Not so, according to an AT&T tech. The AT&T version has proprietary coding that will only work with AT&T routers. Since I have a Frontier router, this is a problem.

The AirTies extender would not pair with it. That said, the AirTies 4920 is a good, effective product and I now have several Frontier Secure 4920’s working well in my network.

Setup is easy. I already had 2. which is a good thing because it did not come with instructions (like the other 2 did). Biggest difficulty is AT&Ts SmartHome app. Its [email protected] Does not give you much control over which devices are connected to which extender, and it does not always tell you the truth, like which extenders are online.

Blinking lights are more reliable, if you know how to interpret them. But it works!.

We had a very weak signal from our cell service. We live in an apartment complex, meaning we can’t use an outdoor antenna/booster. This device was easy to install. Unfortunately, it requires a larger unit than ours.

This booster unit requires a certain minimum distance between the 2 devices. Putting them in the 2 corners the furthest apart did give us a boost close to the smaller device, and we did see more bars on our phones.

We probably would have gotten more of a boost if we could have put the devices even farther apart, like in a house. But it did not give us enough of a connection to support data. We needed the booster to help with data to use as a backup for when our broadband/Wi-Fi goes out.

To solve our problem, we had to change cell providers and then didn’t need a booster.

This was a significant investment that I put alot of time into researching. My Samsung 21 this booster has improved. My wife’s Iphone it has not at all. We were told to register the device with AT&T which we did, it made no difference.

My wife has a new Iphone 12 pro. I was told there may be a bug with the iphones but no information on a solution was ever provided. Why is her phone getting no boost from this unit? Additional there has been no improvement at all to to our data/speed on any of our computers.

Installation should be included with this unit, I ended up paying someone $200 to install the external antennae and run the cabling.

Without this product I would have no cell service in my house. I live in the country and the cell service has been getting worse and worse over the years (shouldn’t it be getting better??), and the signal I do get bounces around, so I must use a booster to get usable service into my house.

What makes this particular booster a necessity is that I can’t run a cable through the attic so can’t use an outdoor antenna. I get only one bar in the bedroom that gets any service at all, and that is enough for this booster to pick up and send through the house.

I gave it four stars instead of five for two reasons: 1) it is expensive and my first one didn’t last as long as I think it should have–this is my second unit as my first one only lasted less than three years before it started acting up (the CU would periodically have a blank screen an no boosting); 2) it interfered with my wifi until I experimented with turning off a band or two (my first one never interfered, so I don’t know what the difference is).

Having said all that, this is the only booster I have found that works in my particular situation. I don’t know what I would do without it.

There are seemingly impossible obstacles preventing cellphone reception in and around our 2000 sq ft home. This product plus a booster antenna did the job when less expensive products couldn’t.

My shop is in a valley surrounded by trees. I had 0 reception. Installed weBoost 100 and I am getting 2-3 bars consistently. I highly recommend this product.

Alright so I moved to 40 acres of heavy forestry with the nearest cell tower for Verizon about two miles away and with some hills in between us. (Graham, WA). Nearest 5G tower is ridiculously far away.

Connected wirelessly this to the 5G orbic from Verizon, climbed 50 fit up a tree with 2” X 10’ PVC with the antenna clamped on the end, after that I ratchet strapped the pvc up to the 50ft part I could stand on lifted the pvc up ten fit on tree then had someone reboot the system and I instantly got 5G 4 bars in an area I was getting no service to one bar and 4g.

The App I used was called find tower, it’s a little glitchy of an app but it did find me the nearest cell towers. I have lived in areas like this my entire life and this completely blew me away. I can load anything faster than I ever could in Seattle/Tacoma.

My only problem was the inside antenna doesn’t give too much range, which is alright because I have the orbic from Verizon and that gives me at least 1500sq ft of coverage. I’m boon docking and I have yet to see a trailer that is that large.

Anyways I thought I give a review because when I was looking through here didn’t seem like too many helpful ones out there. This thing works insanely well and if yours doesn’t it’s broke return and try again.

I purchased the multiroom booster for my camp. I was -110 to -120 outside on my roof. In the camp always below -120. Solution. With the booster I now range from -94 to -107 in the camp. I do not get anywhere near 5,000 sq.

ft. of coverage. More like 150 sq ft. I had called Wilson Amplifiers before purchasing and was informed my coverage would be very limited as I was boosting a very week signal. The coverage I am getting is sufficient to give a good signal to my family room.

I can now make and receive calls from the family room. I do not have wifi at the camp and was unable to stream video. I can now use my phone as a hot spot for my fire stick and Tivo. Setup was easy as I used the satellite antenna mount I no longer used, both to mount the outside antenna and to use the cable already run to my family room.

The initial cost felt high, but I now get and make phone calls. I can now watch streamed video. I did not have to purchase wifi (Att could only provide 10mps for $55/month, and the cable company, 50mps for $85/month).

My current data plan handles covers the increase in data usage. It is a camp and normally used about 6 days a month. My onlly concern is the booster gets very hot. I called Wilson and they assured me it was normal.

I will be disconnecting the booster when not using the camp.

I have a roof over metal roof and signals are hard to get in when not near a window. Using this repeater and aiming the directional antenna to the right tower, I can usually got from -120 to -105 increase sometimes -90 depending on where I am in relation to the interior antenna.

The 4G LTE signal strength on my AT&T and Tmobile were at 2 bars originally and now with the booster, from almost to full strength. Things to change, I would rather have connectors at the antennas than it being hardwired into the antenna.

So now if I change the interior antenna to an omni ceiling mount, I have to get new wiring instead of utilizing what I have.

I bought this because I had really bad service in my basement because we are down in a bit of a hill from the tower – which is probably about 1. 5 miles away. With the included antenna I was able to pick up the tower and get decent service in my basement.

What is really nice about this particular one is that it supports most, if not all, of the bands (2, 4, 17) that I have seen used with Cricket. So I plan on buying another outdoor antenna and cable and using it when camping off the beaten path.

If you don’t know the exact band that your local tower supports don’t buy a single band unit.

Bought this to boost LTE cell signal for a Verizon service in the Travelers Rest SC area. Terrible service coverage with “no service” to fluctuating 1 bar signal. With a 20 foot antenna, I am able to get a better signal 2 bars.

Not great but better than no service. I can’t use it for streaming anything. Ok for websites, and texting. I wa expecting better gain. Setup was not as easy. Wish the display onboard was more friendly to help setup.

Had to try different position randomly to find descent signal. It should have given a display and tell me which way to orient the antenna but it does not. It is not easy to install. The quality of both antenna are cheap plastic boxes and will probably no last.

Also instructions not very clear for installation. had to figure it myself with an engineering background.

Prior to 5g our phones worked fine. US Cellular “upgraded” towers November 2020 and we had nothing but problems. We worked through all of the issues and even got engineering involved. Finally we switched over to S21 phones and things are even worse.

We were finally told that the problem was signal in our area. Gee, you think? They sent us a weboost. First we mounted it on the edge of the roof pointed at the nearest tower according to them and we had no improvement.

We then mounted the antenna 30′ up a pole to get signal. Yea, we have something! Was pointed 180 degrees from where it was supposed to be but sure enough, standing right next to the unit and we get -80dbm and 51asu! Twelve feet away in a line of sight and it is -106dbm and 34 asu, twenty four feet away and -121dbm and 23 asu.

Worthless outside of a line of sight or more than 18′-20′ away. If the unit would transmit that -80dbm and 51 asu in the 1670 sqft home then great. Also what the heck do the 4 green lights mean? The manual is as clear as mud on this.

Installation was ok with the exception of the 4 screws that mount the clamp to the back have what looks like a white sealant in the holes an it was difficult to get the screws in.

It’s the least expensive one offered for help. It works we got from 1 or no bars to 2. Installation is easy however someone elderly it would be difficult for them to install. Somewhat easy if you can climb and physical capabilities to do it.

It would be too expensive to have someone install it for you. The window feature is nice.

I’m using the single room booster. My signal before the connection was -111 to -118 dbi or higher. The best place for the antenna was not the highest place, but a horizontal location where we were able to get -74 to -99 dbi.

I was really frustrated with the weak signal we were getting here. I couldn’t do anything, including opening attachments on my email, but many times I wasn’t even getting my email. I am thrilled that I am able to use my phone pretty normally now in my room, and I’m able to use my phone to make a Hotspot connection on my computer for doing my job search and other things.

It’s a bit slow doing the Hotspot but that’s the only option for this rural area. My download and upload speeds are quite low (from less than 1 mbps to 2mbps – never 3mbps), but this is not the fault of the booster but of the phone carrier who doesn’t care to use fiver optic technology in the towers that are out here in the boonies.

The booster only strengthens the signal – that is its purpose.

Easy enough to set up. Everything was included except a lighting surge protector. Why this is not included is beyond me. The outdoor antenna is to be installed, well, outdoors. Who would NOT want a surge protector? Pretty lame way to get another $50 from the consumer.

Also, there is little chance, even with a perfect signal outside, that this product would cover 7,500 sq ft. Not. Gonna. Happen. I had decent signal (-100 to -102 dBm) on my roof and now have enough signal inside to cover the area close to the antenna, maybe 200 sq ft.

(My office) Also, it doesn’t seem to improve data speeds. I get basically the same DL/UL speeds as without the unit being turned on. Bottom Line: Depending on your circumstances you may get better or worse but if you really need a reliable connection in a small area this will provide that.

just don’t plan on it permeating magically throughout your home. It doesn’t and won’t.

I live on the side of a mountain in a remote part of N. Idaho. If I walk 100 feet to the south up a hill, I get maybe 2 bars. Inside my house built with 2×6 and thick insulation. nothing. Verizon’s amplifier they sent us didn’t do squat as it uses your Satellite bandwidth.

Being skeptical this would work, I ordered it anyway and crossed my fingers. How surprised I was that my iPhone went from -140 to -82 dBms! I can talk, text, download and do anything on my cell phone now! My huband’s flip phone has a hard time connecting as the case is super thick, but he can still get calls and texts as long as the phone is within 15 feet of the indoor antenna.

Installation was a little tricky; finding a spot that the outside antenna would pick up the southern cell tower in our area. 5 feet in the wrong direction, and we got nothing, but once we found the sweet spot, it was working great! Cell reception is going to vary by location and signal strength, so if you installed this correctly and you get nothing, it is not the product.

you are truly in a dead zone. TOTALLY WORTH THE COST! If I ever have to sell my house. I can see this adding value to it. Potential buyers want a good cell signal and this delivers! LOVE it! I’m going to buy the booster for my truck next.

With an hour drive to town and no reception for 80% of the trip, it’s aggravating to miss calls or try to find a location, etc. Since the 4G-x works so well for my house, I have no doubt the vehicle booster will work.

I have poor coverage , at home, in the mountain, trees all around, it was difficult to get a descent signal, had to find a sweet spot in the house just to get 1 bar. My lte signal was also very poor.

Decided to finally order a Wilson booster and give it a try. Very easy setup, I was up and running in 45 mins, Installed the antenna on the roof, I used my cell phone to find out which direction was the best with the cell tower map.

Install the indoor antenna. Right away I could now get 3 bars anywhere in the house, even outside the house. After fine running a little bit, now I even get 5 bars lte on my lte router! Beat product I ever bought , works better then I would I would have dreamed possible.

Did have a little issue with the lte router if it is too close to the outside or inside antenna. But as soon as I moved it, everything as been working flawlessly for a few weeks now. I can say for sure, if you are getting at least 1 bar somewhere around your house, this product will for sure work.

Now I’m thinking of buying the car booster!.
