Cellular Booster Set-Ups

[jackhossross]

Hi Everyone,

Finally getting back out there with two kids, the wife and two dogs. I have transitioned from a FJ62 to a 100 series for the extra space, comfort and reliability, and working towards building up the 100 series with as few mistakes or regrets as possible.

A part of this conversation is setting up the cellular multi-band configuration with the most reliability for the USA as possible.

My understanding is that a multi band antenna and a booster (that is a different network than your cell phone provider) is the best possible combo for working towards a reliable cellular service when off the beaten path.

My plan was to grab a GME antenna and a T-Mobile hotspot/Booster (I am a Verizon customer) to increase the cellular reception chances when overlanding/offroading. I am unsure of which Booster to go with in this configuration.

Would love to hear of others experiences, but the goal is to try to achieve a more reliable connection in the case of emergency, consistent texting service or even streaming music when it can add to our comfort.

Thanks!

We have the weboost in two different vehicles and it’s definitely a solid help. Not exactly what you mentioned but it has definitely proven itself in two different vehicles .

Thanks, so a weboost with an auxiliary antenna? Or do you stick with the weboost system?

Do you run a separate cellular device as well?

Just the trucker version with the provided antenna.
No separate cellular device , it give a good enough boost my son can hotspot his iPad to my phone . Obviously there are still dead areas but it’s definitely a nice range increase .
