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