This week we're headed south to put our
new signal booster to the ultimate test.
Our destination is a remote valley on national forest land surrounded by
mountains where cellphone signal doesn't seem to exist.
It's certainly not often I make a $650 investment for new gear on the road,
but last week we finally pulled the trigger on a cell
phone signal booster we had been researching for months.
It seemed to be the most powerful and reliable booster we could find.
It definitely wasn't the cheapest option, but overall performance was what mattered to us most.
Given the fact that we live full time off grid, mainly in remote locations, we needed the
strongest booster we could find.
I was willing to spend the pretty penny on efficient and quality gear rather than
be disappointed by a more budget friendly, but lower performing booster.
we first tested the booster at this campsite in the northern area of the Jackson Hole Valley and it brought
my previous and super patchy one bar of 4G with no ability to load anything, up to a
fluctuating two to four bars of LTE and loading things really quickly.
it was a very satisfying first test, but I bought the we boost RV 65 for those campsites we enjoy the most.
The peaceful and secluded ones where the phones never even get a hint to signal.
That's where I'd like my office to be, so that's where it matters
that this thing works.
As much as I enjoy my time spent disconnected and soaking in nature
around me, cell signal is a must for anyone whose goal is to make a living
through the internet. And I can always turn it off if I want to, but it's the
simple fact that we have the option to be connected or not that allows us to
efficiently continue building remote income.
After getting base camp set up in our new yard for the week, it was time to put the booster to the test.
First I'll kind of run you through exactly how this thing works. So from the 25 foot pole and
the antenna up top, this is the coax cable that comes down. I've just kind of
got it running basically in line with the structure of the door and alongside
my solar panel line as well and into the battery compartment where it meets up
with... Let's see here. See if I can brighten this up for you.
There we go. So this is the booster back here, and that's the coax cable there up on top coming from the outside,
and on the bottom here if I can show you with my finger,
that's another coax cable. And I've got that one kind of just running all behind
the structure in here and over to the final antenna which is sending the
boosted signal throughout the camper.
And having that boosted signal here inside the camper is going to be really nice
especially now that we have finally
completed our table inside the camper. This is our table conversion if you guys
haven't seen it already. So we basically cut our bed cushion into four cushions
and now we can lift it up and use it as a bench and table.
So once I upgrade my phone plan to a hotspot, I can actually connect my laptop to the Internet
just because of this guy. Which would be awesome.
so let's go ahead and plug in the actual booster here.
This is the power cord. And I basically got it in line with my fuse box and the solar system.
And if you check this out, we currently have no signal, no service I mean on the cell phone or any signal at all,
so let's go ahead and plug in the booster here and if we get...
I think all four green bars like that, it means it's boosting!
Let's see here if we get anything.
It's already at 4G
4 bars of 4G... and I think if I reset it, it might actually be able to catch an
LTE if it's there.
And there it is!
3 bars of LTE from no service!
Let's see how fast this thing loads.
so we'll go to something basic like Instagram and
That's pretty nice loading time.
The fact that this booster got signal in this
super remote valley makes me pretty satisfied with my investment.
it's a $650 investment, so it's definitely not something that
everybody can afford. But, if you're looking for that internet off-grid that
is kind of really reliable and powerful definitely go with the Weboost RV65
you can find the link to it in the description below, and if you use that
link you'll be sending me a small percentage of that sale and on six
hundred fifty bucks I think that's just about a tank of gas for me so thank you
in advance to those who use the link and will catch you in the next video!
Thanks for watching this one and take it easy guys!
