When you choose your inside antenna, it's important to choose the right inside antenna for your home. If you have a very weak cell signal outside of the building, you may need to look into alternatives to a signal booster. Here is how you can use your phone to test cell signal strength. To find the best place to mount your outside antenna, use an RF signal meter or phone application to test the strength of the available signal at different spots around the building. Where you place the outside antenna could dramatically change the signal you receive from the inside antenna. Additionally, we do not suggest adding antennas to the Flare, Flare 3.0, or Fusion4Home boosters.
If you do choose to install the splitter, be sure to keep the cable runs off of the splitter short so as to cut down on cable loss.
If you have an outside signal stronger than -90 dB (roughly 2 bars), you can expand your coverage area using our CM-WS-2 splitter, which would allow you to have two internal antennas. Two things you can do to improve the coverage area are: In other words, the better reception you have outside the better your cell signal will be further from the inside antenna. Generally, the cell phone booster’s total coverage area is based on the strength of the outside signal. I have weak cell signals unless I’m right by the inside antenna. In this post we will focus on antenna separation and cable loss two things that can cause a weak cell signal after installing your signal booster. When installing a signal booster there are a few hiccups you can encounter and there are some simple ways to diagnose and resolve these issues.
After installing my cell phone booster I still have a weak cell signal.
