Even though it\u2019s the 21st<\/sup> century and mobile devices are seen everywhere, it still is not uncommon to experience dead zones where the lack of cellular service severely limits the capabilities of your phone.\u00a0 The worst case scenario is living in one of these dead zones, which can be located anywhere from urban environments where buildings block signals to rural environments where it just was not cost effective for providers to install cell towers at frequent intervals.\u00a0 If you are faced with this problem,\u00a0the zBoost SOHO YX545 can help solve it.\u00a0 It works by capturing\u00a0the minimal cell signal that you do receive\u00a0amplifying\u00a0it around your home.<\/p>\n

The zBoost is the size and shape of a wireless router.\u00a0 Installing it is very easy, although there are some stringent requirements that are necessary.\u00a0 Included in the box is an antenna, the zBoost base unit, 50 ft of coaxial cable, and mounting brackets that allow for flexibility with where the antenna is placed.\u00a0 With the antenna, this is where the installation requirements come in.\u00a0\u00a0It must be placed with 15 feet of vertical separation from the base unit, making it better suited for homes where you can accomplish this.\u00a0 The farther the separation from the base unit, the better the setup will work and the stronger your signal will be.<\/p>\n

Once the antenna has been correctly installed, all you need to do is plug the base unit into power and then wait for its indicator light to turn green.\u00a0 This lets you know that everything is broadcasting correctly.\u00a0 The instruction manual details what other notification lights mean and how to troubleshoot possible issues.\u00a0 When the booster is working problem free, you will immediately experience a significant boost in your cell signal.\u00a0 This means fewer, if any, dropped calls and missed text messages.\u00a0 Additionally, the zBoost\u00a0itself has a range of up to 3000 feet so you should not have any issues extending your cell network to your entire home.\u00a0 You will no longer have to worry about being in a certain room or spot in order to have service.<\/p>\n

With the unit costing around $190, it is worth\u00a0first checking in with your cell service provider to see if they have any lower cost solutions for service problems.\u00a0 If it comes down to having to purchase a booster though, the zBoost will get the job done right.<\/p>\n
