Caution with Installation August 25, 2010
Manuel De La Lastra (Santiago Chile)
Great product and we have tested others for less amplification power. In some cases installastion is tricky and although we might have 5 bars on cellular phones outside and installed antenna at that location, situation in the place is not the same and it might be necessary to install a better antenna on the outside or the inside.
Any way, first and notably most important thing is that wherever you install the outside antenna, you must cross check that you can make a cell phone call and that signal is good. This system as it comes does not make miracles. If you detect that outside signal is weak, then proceed to change outside antenna and install a directional one which might correct situation.
If inside you get a good signal but it covers a reduced place, you can try installing a better inside type of antenna and situation might get better.
 Amazing! From 1/2 Bar to 5 Bars! March 16, 2010

I purchased the zBoost yx610 directly from Amazon because of their return policy. Some of the other vendors were cheaper, but no real assurance that I could return the kit without an act of congress. Living in an area where I could only get 1/2 a bar...sometimes, I was skeptical.
The most common complaint by reviewers was the lack of instructions. I found that my only issue was identifying each piece that came in the package. Once that was done, the written instructions that came with the antenna were very clear. I found this site: [...]
It clearly labels each component in the kit.
This unit stated that it required professional installation. I chose to at least try it myself first, before paying for installation. From start to finish, this antenna and all its components were up and working in a little over 2 hours.
I live in East Tennessee, in a "hollar"...a mountain range on each side of the house. The nearest cell tower is at least 20 miles away...on the other side of the mountain. I got on the roof with my cell phone and found a place where I got 2 bars...and decided where the antenna mast (not included in the kit) would be placed. I used the pole from my old analog TV antenna.
I laid everything out on the living room floor so that I could better understand how the setup would look. The two outside antennas mounted easily (all the hardware was included) on a mast outside the house. If you use a metal pole, you must ground it. There is a grounding kit available on Amazon. I ran the cable (not included in this package) and then placed the base unit (white/orange part) in the attic. The shorter cable included in the kit goes from the base unit to the base antenna. The base antenna (white rectangle with short white cable) had to come into the house somewhere. I did not want this antenna hanging on the wall, so I drilled a hole in the ceiling...into the attic and mounted it on the ceiling (hardware is included for this also). The wire that shows was covered with plastic surface conduit. It now looks like a smoke detector.
I now have 5 bars throughout the house! So here are a couple of notes to consider:
1. If you don't buy your cable through Amazon, remember to get RG-6 coax cable. RG-6 is also referred to as satellite cable. RG-5 is for cable TV and will significantly reduce the signal from your antenna. I got mine at Radio Shack.
2. Purchase enough cable to make the run from the yagi antenna outside, to the base unit inside. No breaks or splices. Lay any extra cable loosely in the attic. I coiled mine up and secured it with a wire tie and my signal dropped by 2 bars!
3. Be mindful of the vertical distance between the outdoor antenna and the inside base unit. You must have at least a 15 feet vertical drop. If they are too close, the base unit will indicate with a flashing red light.
4. There must be 4 to 5 feet between the base unit and the base unit antenna. My base unit is in the attic, five feet from the hole I drilled in the ceiling and the base unit antenna is mounted on the ceiling in my living room.
5. Read ALL the instructions before starting!
6. I am a 54 year-old grandmother! Don't say you can't do it! I bet you can!!
As for the cost...by shutting off my other phone service, I expect it will pay for itself in less than 5 months.
Dual band Cellphone signal booster (YAGI Antenna) January 10, 2010
Ernest F. Pagragan (Newbury, NH)
If you follow the directions this thing is great. I live on the fringe of the world and this antenna pulls in the signal.
Worked well in a large metal building September 16, 2009
Howard L. Pearce (Seattle, WA USA)
Absolutely great. I work inside a metal building with no cell phone reception.
Installed easily with one antenna outside. Had to buy the right length
of coax cable of course to allow that. Now I get 4 or 5 bars
of signal strength. My colleague & I now get great reception.
A little expensive, but performance is great.
 Not so hot... April 6, 2009

I held out high hopes for this device after reading some of the reviews. I get a very weak signal in my apartment and often drop calls. I have to go out on the balcony to get decent reception. After deciphering the unintelligible directions (come on folks, add a few pictures!!), I found that it did little to boost the signal I received in the apartment. Certainly not worth $500 to get a slight improvement and still drop calls. I'm trying to send it back to Computer Brain, but their return policy is not easy and they charge a re-stocking fee.
