Introducing the Certified Refurbished Drive Reach

This is the same Drive Reach we sell new, offered here as weBoost's certified refurbished version at a lower price. It installs in a car, a truck, or an SUV exactly the way the new one does, and the spec sheet on this page is the new booster's own.

A new Drive Reach is covered for two years and this one is covered for one, and that year is the reason it costs less. Everything else about buying it from us stays the same, including the 90 day return window and the same phone number when something comes up during the install.

If you hold onto your vehicles for years and you would rather have the second year behind you, buy it new. If you'd rather keep the money, this is the better buy, and the return window stays open while you run it in the places your signal quits. If the Drive Reach is the booster you want and one year of warranty is enough, then the certified refurbished Drive Reach is the solution for you.

How It Works

Each of the three pieces below does a different job, and where you put it decides how well the next one works.

Diagram: how the cars signal booster system works
The outside antenna on the cars diagram

The Outside AntennaReceives signal from distant cell towers and passes it over a cable to the amplifier.

The amplifier on the cars diagram

The AmplifierReceives the signal from the outside antenna, boosts it significantly, then passes it to the inside antenna.

The inside antenna on the cars diagram

The Inside AntennaBroadcasts the boosted signal throughout the space for clear calls, reliable texts, and fast data.

The booster also works in reverse. The inside antenna receives signal from the devices in the vehicle, the amp boosts it up, and then the outside antenna broadcasts the strong signal back to the distant cell towers. This gives you a strong, reliable two-way connection to the cell tower.

How Much Coverage Should You Expect?

How much coverage you get depends on the signal you already have outside. The stronger it is out there, the farther the boosted signal carries inside.

Strong signal outside5 bars, -80 dBm or better
The entire vehicle
Moderate signal outside3 to 4 bars, about -90 dBm
The driver and passenger seats
Weak signal outside1 to 2 bars, about -100 dBm
18 inches or less from the inside antenna

How the Installation Process Works

Most installs take just a few minutes, and the steps below are the whole job.

Set the Outside Antenna Near the Center of the Roof

Keep it at least 12 inches away from any other antenna and from any window, and a sunroof counts as one. If your roof is aluminum and the magnet will not hold, the included adhesive disc goes down first. Do a loose setup before you settle on a spot, with the cable draped in through an open door so you can see what your bars do first.

Run the Cable Under the Door Seal

The coax tucks under the door seal and runs from there to the amplifier, and it is built to survive being shut in.

Secure the Amplifier Behind or Under a Seat

Put it somewhere you can still get to it, with air moving around it, and let the included Velcro strips hold it down to the carpet. Take the outside antenna off before a car wash.

Set the Inside Antenna Where Your Phone Rides

It goes on the dash or beside the seat, near where you actually use your phone rather than right up against it. A Velcro strip holds it there, and it has to stay at least 8 inches from any person.

Plug It Into the 12 Volt Outlet

Connect the power cord to the amplifier first, then put the adapter in the outlet and push its switch on. A green light on the amplifier means everything is working. If that outlet stays live with the engine off, turn the booster back off when you park for more than a day.

Which Booster Fits Your Vehicle?

What changes from one booster to the next is the vehicle it is built for, how the outside antenna mounts, and which one you get.

Still Deciding?

  • Try It for 90 Days

    Signal changes as you move, so the test that counts is watching your own bars with the booster in place. If it does not do enough, send it back within 90 days for a full refund.

  • 1-Year Warranty

    weBoost covers the hardware itself. If something stops working, call us first and we will help you figure out whether it is the equipment or the install.

  • We're Here to Support You

    The team that answers the phone here has decades of combined experience fixing signal on the road, and you get them before you buy and long after.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work with my carrier?

Yes. It boosts every major US carrier at the same time. That covers Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and US Cellular, along with the smaller networks that run on them.

Will it work where I have no signal at all?

Just like the new Drive Reach, yes, more often than you would guess. The phone's bars are a rough gauge, and the booster works off the actual signal at the antenna, which is regularly better than the display suggests. In a spot that truly has no signal whatsoever, it has nothing to work with, the same as any booster.

Is this a Wi-Fi booster?

No. It boosts the cellular signal your phone uses for calls, texts, and mobile data. It does nothing for Wi-Fi or for your home internet.

Will it boost my hotspot?

Yes. A hotspot runs on the cellular network just like your phone, so it gets the same boost. Keep it near the inside antenna the way you would a phone.

Will it drain my battery?

Not your phone's, no. The booster runs off the vehicle's power, so your phone just gets the stronger signal. If the outlet keeps power after the key is out, flip the switch on the cord when the vehicle is going to sit for more than a day.

Can I use it in a cabin instead of a vehicle?

Yes, for one small space. Plenty of customers run a vehicle booster at a cabin or a hunting camp, on 12 volt power or with an AC adapter you add separately, and move it back to the vehicle when they leave. For a whole house, a home booster is the right tool.

Do I need my carrier's permission?

No. The major US carriers have given blanket consent for boosters certified to current FCC standards, and this one is certified. You do have to register it with your carrier, which is a short form on their website.

Does it work outside the US?

It covers the United States and Canada. Most European, Asian, and African networks run on different frequencies, so it will not help you there.

What does certified refurbished actually mean?

It is a returned or used unit, inspected and restored to sellable condition, sold under the same model number. The warranty runs one year on it where a new Drive Reach carries two, and it costs less. Call us before you order if you want to talk it through.

Are these reviews from the refurbished unit?

Some of them are. This listing and the new Drive Reach are two conditions of one model number, so the reviews are pooled across both, and a review written for one can show up on the other. Reviews from people who bought the refurbished unit are in the mix as well.

How do I know it's working?

Park where your signal is weak, check your bars with the booster off, then turn it on and watch them for a minute. That is the only fair comparison, because the signal changes as you drive. The light on the amplifier tells you the rest. Green means it is running properly. Red means one of the bands has shut itself off because the two antennas sit too close together, so move them further apart and call us if that does not do it.

Will it fit my vehicle?

Almost certainly, though a few cases are worth checking first. The magnet needs a clear stretch of steel near the center of the roof, and an aluminum one takes the included disc. A fiberglass or composite roof needs something for the magnet to hold to, and a roof rack, a rack full of gear, or a wing style rack can leave nowhere flat to set the antenna. Call us before you order if you are not sure, and we will work it out with you.

Why buy this here instead of Amazon?

A refurbished unit gets the same support here as a new one. We help you weigh it against the new Drive Reach first, and the number on this page reaches the same people whichever one you buy.
