Expert Reviews
What reviewers liked
The system boosts both 3G and 4G LTE cellular signals up to 50 dBm and can support numerous users at once whether you’re parked at a campsite or cruising on the interstate. Using omni-directional antennas and a patented smart technology that senses signal conditions in and around your RV, the Drive X automatically optimizes and adjusts the booster’s output to provide rock-solid connectivity with only a 2 amp DC power draw. This results in fewer dropped calls, better voice quality, faster data speeds, enhanced streaming, and improved hotspot capability.
With the WeBoost Drive 4G-xRV installed, we were able to boost our cell phone mobile hotspot signal to full bars in that same boondocking spot in the desert. We were able to get work done, stream Netflix and listen to music with fewer interruptions.
The WeBoost boosts the signal very well when there is some signal to work with. So when you have just a few bars or when you have “slow internet” such as 3G, and you can still use your phone and hotspot, but things are just running at a snail’s pace. These scenarios are great to have the WeBoost, because it drastically changes our capabilities. We have gone barely being able to load a single web page to working efficiently on blog posts and research.
The 4G-X OTR kits had earned their place as our reference standard that we used to test all competing boosters against it.
Inside was a user manual that walks you through each step. I give weBoost high marks for the packaging and uncomplicated to follow DIY directions. The manual is easy to read with large text, and it contains diagrams illustrating each of 8 installation steps.
What reviewers didn't like
The interior antenna is a bit on the weak side for our liking.
We’re still a little ways away from doing major website edits and downloading large files in the middle of the desert.
One annoying thing we noticed the booster does is says it has full bars but it clearly doesn’t because you can’t get anything to load. This is usually at times when you have either no service or 1x. So we have learned to not even bother at times when we don’t have any signal on our phones.
Booster manufacturers may state their products are "5G ready." Which is a bit misleading. 5G is being deployed on a myriad of low, mid and high frequency bands. Current boosters only cover a handful of frequency bands in the low range spectrum (12, 13, 5, 4, 2 and sometimes 25). Where 5G is being deployed on those bands, they will work. But they will not work on the newer bands, thus only offering relatively limited 5G support.
Unfortunately, all the inside antennas had signal boost range limited to just a few feet. At 2 feet away the dBm increase dropped in half and by 5 feet away it was almost entirely gone.
