If you decide to go the DIY route, you will need a few tools: a ladder, your smartphone, a Phillips-head screwdriver, and an adjustable wrench.
Step 1: Find the Best Cellular Signal Outside your Home
Cell phone signal boosters, also known as repeaters and extenders, utilize an outdoor antenna to grab the existing weak signal. Its location can affect the strength of the signal that is being transmitted. Therefore, you will want the antenna to be located in an area with the strongest signal. So, before installing the antenna, it’s extremely important to find the area with the best signal.
Test the outside signal by walking around your home and using:
Your phone’s signal bars: The side of your home that provides the most bars will be the area where you should install the antenna. However, it's important to note that even though phone bars are a good way to see signal strength, they are subjective measurements. One bar for Sprint might be 4 for Verizon, 3 for AT, and 2 for T-Mobile. This happens because there is no standard on the level of signal strength each bar represents.
dBm measurements: Using dBm measurements will provide you with the most accurate signal strength readings. Mobile signal can range from -50 to -120 dBm, with -50 dBm representing full bars and -120 dBm representing no signal. The side of your home that gives you the highest dBm measurement will be where you want to install your antenna. You can see your dBm measurement through the setting of your Android device or the Field Test Mode menu on iPhone's.
