If you're struggling with poor AT&T signal, there is a solution. They're called cell phone signal boosters, and they work to amplify any existing AT&T signal, giving you reliable talk, text, and data. There are a wide variety of AT&T signal boosters for many different applications. Fortunately, our experts have narrowed the field to just the best of the best.
A cell phone signal booster takes any existing 4G, 4G LTE, or 3G AT&T signal, amplifies it 32X, and rebroadcasts the boosted signal into your home, office, or car. This equals more bars and better service.
The signal boosters we recommend are very versatile:
Our vehicle signal boosters work for cars, sedans, RVs, and even boats.
Enterprise AT&T signal boosters cover up to 100,000+ sq ft buildings, although it takes a dedicated team of installers and planners to get the absolute best service.
Why be a slave to AT&T's cell tower? Bring the cell tower inside your home! Check out our top recommendations below.

The weBoost Home MultiRoom is designed to cover several rooms, an entire floor, or a whole midsize, one-story home with AT&T signal. As its name suggests, you can expect multiple rooms of coverage with the unit assuming decent outside AT&T signal. Assuming flawless outside signal, you can expect up to 5,000 square feet of coverage, but in most situations you will get 2,000-3,000 square feet of indoor AT&T coverage. If you live in a rural area with very weak outdoor signal, expect significantly reduced coverage. In fact, if you're in an area with next to no signal outside, this is the lowest grade signal booster you should ever consider buying.
It features a nice, clean look, with an indoor antenna that won't stand out amid your existing home decor.
The weBoost Home MultiRoom not only boosts AT&T signal, but all major North American carriers. Should you ever change service provider, the weBoost Home MultiRoom will still work.
If you live in an extremely weak signal area, or have a really big house you want to cover, consider its sister product, the weBoost Home Complete.

There are two major considerations on whether or not to buy the weBoost Installed Home Complete. This booster works best for large residential homes, suburban or rural areas, and more. The effective coverage area will vary depending on the strength of your OUTSIDE signal, so it's important to understand - if you're expecting 7,500 square feet of coverage but have only one bar outside your home, you won't get it. Realistic expectations of coverage in that scenario are more like 2,500-4,000 square feet.
The other major consideration is whether or not you'd prefer to install it yourself, or have someone do it for you. The weBoost Installed Home Complete is the only consumer booster currently on the market that allows for a complete, professional installation at no extra cost to you.
Note that the installation is only available for residential buildings in the United States.

The weBoost Home Room is a nice cheap option if you're on a budget and only need spot coverage.
Depending on the outside signal, you may get 1-2 room coverage under best conditions. But you're not here because of best conditions, so it's more realistic to say desktop to small room coverage (about 250 to 500 sq ft).
Most customers have told us they're much closer to the inside antenna than anticipated for better signal. Great option for single office, home office (SOHO) and small areas like cabins and apartments. Good starter kit if you have decent outside signal but doesn't cover the whole home and not a strong performer in rural areas with poor signal.

The weBoost Drive Reach is the newest, most powerful vehicle booster from Wilson Electronics, and is an ace at boosting AT&T signal.
A slim outside antenna picks up signal. A discreet inside antenna (usually Velcroed to the driver seat) broadcasts signal inside. You have to be about an arm's length to get the boosted signal, so it's best for your typical sedan, truck, or SUV.
This is the best booster no matter where you live, as not only does it reach farther to the cell towers for rural areas, but it does a better job handling more noisy, urban environments than other signal boosters on the market. Highly recommended for AT&T customers.

The weBoost Drive X has 2x the uplink power compared to the Drive 4G, but less performance than the Drive Reach. At $50 less, however, it's still a good option if you're on a budget. It performs especially well in suburban or out on the highway, where it can dramatically increase data speeds and completely eliminate areas on your drive where calls are likely to drop.
The Drive X works for multiple devices, as well, so you can expect complete interior coverage.

The weBoost Drive Sleek is about price and performance for the single user.
It uses a magnetic vent mount and when paired with a bluetooth headset, it really shines for regular talk, text, and hands-free navigation.
Your smartphone has to be in the cradle to get maximum signal boost. New design allows for wider smartphones and small tablets. AT&T customers can expect a very noticeable bump in GPS accuracy, data, and hands-free calling as long as the phone is in the cradle.

There are many cellular solutions for buildings with a range from 25K to 100K sq ft. This model happens to be the sweet spot with best coverage up to 35,000 sq ft. Many of our professional installers and their enterprise customers have been happy with this one.
For offices with capacity concerns, such as call centers, the Pro 70 Plus performs admirably across not only AT&T, but all major American carriers.
It's also tremendous for areas with weak signal, and should be considered an upgrade to the Home Complete in those scenarios.

While it may have “Home” in its title, the weboost Home MultiRoom is a great choice for small offices.
You can expect multiple rooms of coverage with the unit assuming decent outside AT&T signal. Assuming flawless outside signal, you can expect up to 5,000 square feet of coverage, but in most situations you will get 2,000-3,000 square feet of indoor AT&T coverage. If you live in a rural area with very weak outdoor signal, expect significantly reduced coverage. In fact, if you're in an area with next to no signal outside, this is the lowest grade signal booster you should ever consider buying.

A AT&T Network Extender needs to be connected to a broadband landline internet to work. In short, it acts as a personal cell tower by converting your broadband landline to cell signals and vice versa.
A AT&T Signal Booster takes your pre-existing weak cell signals, and amplifies that 3G & 4G LTE into your home, office, or car. Think of it like a megaphone, it enhances the signal for your phone to pick up.
A AT&T Signal Booster and here's why:
A AT&T Network Extender needs internet (in-home WiFi router) to work. It requires a minimum speed up of 10 Mbps downlink and 5 Mbps uplink to provide reliable service.
But here are the pitfalls:
But if you don't have a landline internet service provider nor have access to it-especially rural areas, then a AT&T booster is the best choice, since it doesn't require any type of internet or WiFi service to work.
It simply reaches farther to the nearest cell tower, bypasses multiple interference, and brings stronger signal to your phone.
Absolutely.
AT&T mobile hotspot routers use 3G & 4G LTE signals, and that's what signal boosters do: enhance 3G & 4G LTE signal!
From the AT&T Jetpack to MiFi, it'll get better signal and speeds, especially if the AT&T 4G router has an external antenna port that can directly connect to the AT&T signal booster.
Yes, yes, and yes.
Whether it's an iPhone, Galaxy, Pixel, or any phone, if it's working on the AT&T network, then a signal booster will also improve reception to your phone.
Our AT&T signal boosters from Wilson Electronics (weBoost & WilsonPro) are multi-carrier systems. This means they are also compatible with AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, US Cellular, and other major and local carriers.
They are future-proof!
Yeah... about that.
The 5G standard has not been officially set by the 3GPP. Therefore carriers like AT&T and AT&T are pre-building our their 5G services by upgrading their current 4G LTE and giving it names like 5G Evolution, First on 5G, 5G+,etc.
But no, it's not the real 5G. It's pre-5G, fake 5G- it's literally 4G LTE on steroids.
The real 5G should launch by the end of 2020.
Nope.
4G LTE is still being built out across North America. If fact, 4G LTE is the backbone of the nation's wireless service. It's not going anywhere anytime soon, AND it's getting faster.
4G LTE is expected to peak in 2030-2035. So...come back in a decade and ask the same question and we might have a different answer by then.
