doesn't everyone know by now that we have a finished attic.....call it the 3rd floor if it makes you feel better......that is our kid free zone?

SteveDallas · 02-25-2008, 12:10 PM

Sure, but I don't see how that invalidates our questions.

zippyt · 02-25-2008, 05:19 PM

move your wireless router to the second floor

BrianR · 03-02-2008, 12:55 AM

my question is: will that work in a truck?

zippyt · 03-02-2008, 05:02 PM

There are WiFi repeater devices for around $75-$80, but if your computer picks up the relayed signal instead of the direct signal, your bandwidth between relay and router is half. Not a big problem if your provider bandwidth is high enough to begin with, and you are getting a more solid connection. I'll be picking one up soon to fill out the end of the second floor that is the furthest from the router in the basement. Don't have connect problems anywhere else. Well...outside, I guess.

My company had me switch from AT&T to Verizon. Now I get almost no signal in the house. I have tried making a call from the roof and still I get a very weak signal. I wonder if something like this would help.

zippyt · 07-07-2008, 04:36 PM

It did for me , untill my company switched to Sprint

How much do you want for the booster?

zippyt · 07-07-2008, 05:18 PM

my wife has ATT , they do make a Dual Channel booster , i'll have to check into it and see if the old one is for sale

HungLikeJesus · 07-08-2008, 02:56 PM

zippyt, let me know if you're interested in selling your zBoost. I think you said it works with Verizon (YX500-CEL).

What work is required to mount this? Do you have to run power or a cable to an antenna on the roof?

zippyt · 07-09-2008, 03:49 PM

You have to run a Coax for the Out side antenna, (can be inside , but out side worked better for me ) , have a 110vac outlet for the base unit , this Unit works with ATT phones

HungLikeJesus · 07-09-2008, 04:05 PM

Thanks zippyt, I ordered a YX510-PCS/CEL dual band from Solid Signal.
