Okay, so the other day I decided to finally get around to boosting the cell signal in my house. We’ve been dealing with dropped calls and slow data for way too long, and I was fed up. I’d heard good things about weBoost, so I went with their Home MultiRoom kit. This isn’t a sponsored post or anything – just my honest experience getting this thing up and running.
Unboxing and First Impressions
First things first, I unboxed everything. The kit came with a bunch of stuff: the amplifier itself, an outdoor antenna, an indoor antenna, cables, and this mounting hardware kit. I’m focusing on the mounting hardware here, ’cause that’s what I was messing with most recently.
The hardware kit itself is pretty straightforward. You’ve got:
- Brackets: A couple of different brackets for mounting the inside antenna. One’s for a wall, and the other looks like it’s for a shelf or something.
- Screws and Anchors: A baggie full of screws and those little plastic anchors for drywall. Pretty standard stuff.
- Cable Clips: Some adhesive-backed cable clips to keep things tidy.
The Mounting Process
I started by figuring out where I wanted to put the inside antenna. The instructions said to put it somewhere central, away from windows and other metal objects. After pacing around my house for a bit,I decided on a wall in my living * is a good central location.
Then,I grabbed the wall-mount bracket from the kit and held it up against the wall where I wanted the antenna to go. I used a pencil to mark where the screw holes were. Nothing fancy, just eyeballing it.
Next, I drilled some pilot holes at the marks I made. I always do this, even if it’s just drywall. Makes it easier to get the screws in straight. I grabbed the plastic anchors from the kit and tapped them into the holes with a hammer. Again, pretty basic stuff if you’ve ever hung anything on a wall before.
After that, I lined up the bracket with the anchors and screwed it into place. I made sure it was good and snug, but not so tight that I cracked the * I mounted the inside panel antenna.
Cable Management (Because Nobody Likes a Mess)
The last part was dealing with the cable. The kit came with those adhesive cable clips, so I used those to run the cable along the wall and down to where the amplifier was going to be. I’m not the neatest person in the world, but even I can appreciate a clean cable run.
Final Thoughts
Honestly, the whole mounting process was super easy. The hardware kit had everything I needed, and the instructions were clear enough. It probably took me about 30 minutes total, and that includes the time I spent wandering around trying to decide where to put the antenna. I’m not a professional installer and If I can do it, anyone can.
And the most important is I finished it!Now My cell signal is rock * more dropped calls!
