3. Setup and Installation
The weBoost Home Studio is designed for straightforward installation. For the best results, it is recommended to use the weBoost App, which provides step-by-step video guides, an antenna positioning guide, and allows you to take before and after cell signal readings.
3.1. Test Your Signal
Before installation, step outside and ensure you have at least one bar of signal on your phone. The effectiveness of any booster depends on the strength of the outside cell signal. A booster amplifies existing signal; it does not create it.

3.2. Outside Antenna Placement
The outside directional antenna communicates with nearby cell towers. It should be mounted in a location where it can receive the strongest possible signal, typically on the roof or an exterior wall, facing the nearest cell tower.

3.3. Booster and Inside Antenna Placement
The booster amplifies the signals received by the outside antenna and broadcasts them throughout your designated room. The inside booster antenna should be placed within the room where you need improved signal, ensuring it is not too close to the outside antenna to prevent oscillation.

3.4. Cable Connection and Power
Connect the low-loss cables from the outside antenna to the booster, and from the booster to the inside antenna. Finally, connect the power supply to the booster and plug it into a standard electrical outlet. The booster will power on and begin to amplify the signal.

4. Operation
Once properly installed and powered on, the weBoost Home Studio operates automatically. It continuously monitors and amplifies the cellular signals from nearby towers, rebroadcasting them within the coverage area. Your mobile devices will automatically connect to the stronger signal provided by the booster.
The system is designed to work with all U.S. and Canadian networks and devices, ensuring broad compatibility.

5. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your weBoost Home Studio, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Signal Improvement: Ensure the outside antenna is pointed towards the strongest signal source (nearest cell tower). Check all cable connections to ensure they are secure. Increase the separation distance between the outside and inside antennas.
- Flickering Lights on Booster: This may indicate oscillation (feedback loop). Increase the distance between the inside and outside antennas, or adjust their orientation.
- Power Issue: Verify the power supply is securely connected to the booster and the wall outlet. Try a different outlet.
- Limited Coverage Area: Ensure the inside antenna is centrally located within the desired coverage area. The booster is designed for single-room coverage; larger areas may require a different model.
