Rating: - It works
We live in a high-rise apartment complex (concrete and steel construction). We have Cingular/AT&T. Our cell signal strength inside of the apartment is horrible. Although we typically get 2 bars, the voice quality is bad (e.g., lots of static and the signal cuts in and out so that you only catch a few words at times). Furthermore, we don't get a strong enough signal in the interior bathroom or the bedroom. (The signal is at the maximum -- 4 bars -- when we step outside of our building)
We installed the wireless extender inside of the apartment next to a window facing the street. This position is where we get the strongest signal (3/4 bars). I placed the antenna horizontally as the instructions suggested. I placed the wireless extender base unit about 15 feet away from the antenna with the base unit's antenna pointing up as the instructions suggested. The signal is strong now and we can make calls from the bedroom and the interior bathroom.

It works just like they say it does. My blackberry now gets 4 bars of reception inside a metal and concrete building where I had zero bars before.
Outside I had great reception, but inside I had none. So I put the antenna outside and put the repeater inside.
If you don't get signal where your antenna is going to be, this product is not going to help. It does not enhance wireless signals, it just makes the signal available at the antenna also available at the repeater. The two can be connected with a very long cable to bring good reception deep inside buildings.

For those of you having problems with this unit you must remember that the indoor unit uses the same frequency to talk to the cell phone that the outdoor antenna uses to talk to the tower. If the inside unit transmits and the outside unit picks it up the inside unit will lower its power until there is no feedback loop, degrading performance. So, if you can put the inside unit someplace where it will operate at full power and not interfere with the outside antenna then you are set. Try putting the inside unit in the basement or at the opposite end of the house. Also you will never get a better signal inside than what the outside antenna gets so put the outside antenna where it gets the best possible reception. That sounds obvious but I'm sure there are some folks that put the outside unit out a window and the inside unit next to it.
