I had a very old WeBoost from several years ago. Now with a new van and a spouse who likes to travel to remote locations in the west, we opted to purchase this. I don’t have any fancy equipment to measure except to measure speed tests with and without and it appears to be better. That said, if there is no signal to boost it doesn’t work. We use Verizon at moment and i understand it also works with the other main carriers. Not sure how it works with 5G because i have a 4 year old phone and 5G isn’t really in remote locations much.
To say it’s an easy installation is a bit simplistic. Yes. It plugs in easily and it works to boost the cellular signal both receiving and transmitting. The key to installing in an RV is getting the cable from the external antenna i attached to our rear ladder into the interior of the van in a clean and safe (to the RV) manner. Your mileage will vary according to RV. We ended up routing it thru the pre-installed satellite cables we are not using. I had to get some new connectors and WeBoost tech support was helpful in locating the right additional components for my needs. They turned me onto a small company who specializes in cables and connectors.
Now All is working well. I give it a 4.5 stars due to the aforementioned install problem which was resolved.

Exceeded Expectations - Add 2 Bars
Best purchase of the year for me. Weighed Star-Link against WeBoost for my purchase. I didn’t want the $150 monthly cost in addition to original equipment costs, nor do I always have an open view of satellites from the campsites I frequent. So I chose Weboost. I camped in places I only had 1 bar of signal, only to turn on WeBoost and get 3 bars. Was able to use Verizon Hotspot (iPhone) and have HD video reception on Roku Sling, Max, etc. 100 gig of Hotspot a month thru Verizon for $10. But, remembering that if you have NO signal to start with, you have NO signal to amplify. Install: I mounted the antenna to the ladder and routed the cable through the outside upper refrigerator exhaust vent cover. Drilled a 3/8 hole into the cabinet (accessing from the back of the refrigerator vent area from the outside) and ran the cable through the cabinets to the back of the TV. I did test the unit out first on a quick overnight camping trip by loosely routing the cable from the ladder over the roof and through my slide-out gasket (as suggested in some reviews) without permanently drilling any holes to ensure the unit worked okay and wouldn’t need to be returned. Being satisfied, I then made the permanent install. I called customer service once and got great feedback on my install questions. Totally satisfied with my purchase.
