Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect my cell phone signal range and strength to be inside my home?
The closer you are to the base, the stronger the signal. This will vary with different conditions. Some
of the conditions that will affect the improved data coverage area are signal strength outdoors, the
type of building materials in the home, the placement of the unit and the antenna’s proximity to
cellular towers.
You can expect that your indoor coverage will be improved. You will experience faster, more reliable
data where you didn’t before. The degree of improvement will depend upon many factors. The
intent of zBoost products are to bring outside coverage inside. Just as the signal bars move up and
down when outside, the boosted signal will
fl
uctuate in a similar fashion.
Is a cellular phone signal booster the same as a wireless router; will it help my WiFi signal?
The zBoost unit will not help your WiFi service. The WiFi in your home operates on a different
frequency.
Why isn’t my cell phone indicating more signal with more bars?
You may not always observe more bars on your signal meter because of the signal spreading out
from the antenna. If your phone has a dB meter, 3dB is a signi
fi
cant increase of 2x, 6dB is 4x, and
10dB is 10x. On a four bar phone, one "bar" equals about 10dB.
The increase in signal you will see depends upon:
•
The level of signal at the External Antenna (outdoor)
•
The care of the antenna placement (two feet away from metal, adequate antenna
separation [15 vertical feet of separation is recommended])
•
The signal already present inside (related to building losses)
•
The distance of your phone/device from the Base Unit (signal spreads or diminishes rapidly
with distance.)
There are usually several mobile devices in use at one time in my home, will your product
boost all of our signals simultaneously?
The zBoost TRIO is designed to cover multiple signals simultaneously and will allow multiple users
to operate at the same time.
Does the zBoost work if you have no bars?
No, if no signal is present outdoors zBoost products will not work for you. Also, keep in mind if your
best signal is 1 bar at the External Antenna, your coverage will be limited to a small room. You
could improve that with an upgraded antenna (See page v).
