Review: Wi-Ex zBoost YX300 Cell Phone Signal Extender - CNET

A review of the Wi-Ex zBoost YX300 personal cell phone signal booster has been posted over at CNET. ‘Setting up the YX300 is so easy that the instructions are small enough to fit on the back of the package. It only has three parts: the zBoost base unit, the power cord, and the antenna. The unobtrusive base is white with a green stripe. It's completely devoid of any buttons or switches and the only indicator light is a tiny LED that glows red when the power is on. It's also relatively small at 5.0 by 3.8 by 1.18 inches, and with its lightweight, but sturdy, plastic shell it weighs only 7.36 ounces.

Two suction cups on the back of the YX300's base allow you to secure it firmly to a flat surface, even a window. But before that, you'll have to use your phone to find a location in your home or office that gets a measurable signal. At least one bar will work, but ideally you should find the best signal you can. Keep in mind that the YX300 needs to receive a cellular signal in order to boost it (it doesn't create signals on its own), so if you can't get a signal anywhere in a building then this product is not for you.’
