(More customer reviews)My mobile carrier is Verizon (can you hear me now) who boasts of the largest network. Of course I live in a pretty dead zone for just about every carrier. I sometimes had 1 bar but not enough to make a call or send a text without being plastered against one particular window. The network extender from Verizon didn't work with my internet provider so I had to find another solution. At first we had the antenna in the attic with the wire run to the downstairs (temporary because it was freezing outside and unable to mount outside) but the unit would go into protect mode (orange) meaning oscillation. The first warm day we installed the antenna outside on the garage roof and ran the wire through the basement to the first floor. We actually now can make a call from any room in the house. Before I even purchased this I called Wilson who explained that oscillation will be worst with the omni directional antenna which you would need at least 50 feet of distance in a straight line away from the antenna and the inside antenna. With the Yagi you only have to be away 20 feet between both antennas. I am glad I got the Yagi because in a 3 story house (counting the basement) with the Yagi in the attic and 8 foot ceilings I had to have the indoor antenna on the floor in the basement in order to prevent oscillation. My advice would be to get the Yagi antenna if you don't want the hassle of repositioning distance between the two antennas and remember that the 50 or 20 feet of distance between is a straight line measurement. You can run 50 feet of wire up and over, down and under, but it's not how much wire you use it's a straight line distance between the two which is just easier with a Yagi. If I had bought the omni directional antenna I know it would have been much harder to get 50 feet of distance. As far as Wilson goes, the rep was very helpful with all my questions and after I received the product I didn't have to call back just re-routing. Wilson is top of the line as far as anything antenna is involved.
