This in conjunction with the outdoor directional antenna brought my small home from 1 bar to 5 bars.
I have to swivel it to point it at direction I am at. The big problem is that it is a directional antenna - which means it only works in the one direction it is pointed. I point it at my study when I am at work there and then shift it towards the living room area when I am done with work. The tiny antenna that came with the zboost YX510 really only worked in one room and did not penetrate through walls at all. This antenna provides good coverage through a wall. Still its nice to have 4 to 5 bars when the antenna is pointed at you.
Previously there was no signal anywhere in the home. I get good signal 3 rooms away and can now use Verizion Wireless for my internet service. No need for Hughs or Wild Blue satellite service now. Adding the Directional panel antenna really helped increase signal on my system. I have the antenna mounted at the end of my home with the signal directed the length of the house. The whole system is expensive, but makes living in the country without cable or DSL tolerable.
Previously, I had 1-2 bars with the base unit; I now have 2-3 bars. So that's a big plus. This add-on definitely improves reception when used with the base unit, but unfortunately the improvement is not as dramatic as I had hoped. At least I can now make and receive phone calls in my home (which I could not, before).
