Will the signal booster improve both voice and data connections?

Yes, a signal booster will improve both voice calls and mobile data connections, including 3G, 4G, and 5G signals, depending on the network and device. It can enhance call quality and provide faster data speeds for browsing, streaming, and downloading.

How far can the boosted signal reach indoors?

The coverage area depends on the power of the booster and the layout of your property. A basic booster may cover one room, while more advanced models can cover entire homes, large offices, or multi-story buildings. Our team will recommend the right model based on your coverage needs.

Are there any restrictions on where I can install a signal booster?

There are no major restrictions, but to maximize performance, the outdoor antenna should be installed in a location with good signal reception (e.g., on the roof or high up on an exterior wall). Indoor antennas should be placed in areas where you need the strongest coverage, away from thick walls or large metal objects that could block the signal.

How do I know which signal booster I need?

During your consultation, we assess your current signal strength, the size of the area requiring coverage, and the network(s) you use. We then recommend a suitable booster model that matches your specific needs.

How long do signal boosters last?

Signal boosters are durable devices with a lifespan of several years, typically between 5-10 years with proper care and installation. Regular maintenance and ensuring the booster is free from damage can help extend its life.

Can weather affect the performance of my signal booster?

Extreme weather, such as heavy rain or snow, can sometimes impact the quality of the mobile signal received by the outdoor antenna. However, most boosters are designed to maintain performance in normal weather conditions. If you’re in a remote area with frequent severe weather, we can recommend solutions to help minimize the impact.

What is the return policy for signal boosters?

We offer a 30-day return policy for all signal boosters, provided the product is in its original condition and packaging. If you’re not satisfied with the performance, please contact us for a refund or exchange.

Will my signal booster require any software updates?

No, signal boosters typically don’t require software updates. Once installed, they work independently to amplify your signal without the need for software maintenance. However, if there are updates for specific products, we will notify you.

Can I take my signal booster with me if I move?

Yes, your signal booster can be uninstalled and reinstalled at your new location. However, it’s important to check the signal strength at your new property, as you may need to adjust the booster’s configuration or antennas for optimal performance.

What is the difference between a mobile signal booster and a Wi-Fi booster?

A mobile signal booster amplifies cellular signals (voice and data) for mobile phones by enhancing the signal received from a mobile network tower. A Wi-Fi booster, on the other hand, extends the range of your Wi-Fi network, improving the connection for devices using the internet via Wi-Fi. They serve different purposes and are not interchangeable.

Can I use a mobile signal booster in a listed building or conservation area?

Yes, but there may be restrictions. Listed buildings and conservation areas often have regulations regarding external installations like antennas. We recommend checking with your local council or planning authority. Our team can also provide guidance on discreet installation methods to comply with local regulations.
