 Truth about signal booster April 10, 2004
298 out of 317 found this review helpful
As for the people writing the other reviews on this product, you should not speak if you know nothing about Broadband. First of all, this booster will NOT increase your docsis cable modem speeds, no matter what you hear. This amplifier, installed correctly (at the entry point of your home) will boost your forward signal by +15db (allowing return signals to pass). Most cable modem operating level ranges are +15 to -15, so if your within that range on your cable modems operating frequency (for example 705mhz) there is no need for a booster. If you are on the treshhold of signal, like -17db, then this amp will be beneficial to you. Your GUI on your cable modem will give you this reading (http://192.168.100.1 for example). As for your cable reception, and amplifier can be helpful if you have multiple TV's, to make up for the loss that your splitters create. But again, this amp MUST be installed @ your cables entry point to your home. If you have a bad connection though, you will only amplify noise. So your outside drop connection from the pole must be good for an amp to work properly. In conclusion, your modem downloads a config file from your ISP which tells that modem what speeds to run at, and your ISP's router capacities determine what kind of speeds you get. So this amplifier will NOT boost speeds :-)

Ever since my cable company installed digital cable in my house I have had picture problems. The analog pictures were grainy and half of the digital pictures didn't come in. They just said they would arrive shortly but never did. Numerous calls to the cable company failed to come up with a permanent fix. So I decided to take matters in my own hands. Other boosters made things worse. When I saw that this one worked with digital as well as analog I decided to give it a try. I first hooked it up from the cable box to the vcr and got no improvement. So I tried hooking it up where the signal first came in before the cable reciever and it worked beautifully. Analog pictures are clearer than ever and all the digital pictures come in. No more "Please Wait" screens. I am mad that my stupid cable company refused to do this but I am thrilled to finally have what I pay for! Great product!
 Great for Cable Modem... but not enough for TV. November 7, 2002

For those people who are unable to beg the cable company to provide you with a signal amplifier, this is the investment that you should not skip. The amplifier boost my cable connection to full 1.5Mbps incoming and 128Kbps outgoing, which is the maximum rate my cable company provides. Before that I am just getting around 700Kbps and 50Kbps, respectively.Cable companies tend to not giving out this signal amplifier unless their techicans found that their modem can't sync without one. But a modem can sync doesn't mean that you can surf in full speed. So do a speed test, and if you don't get the full speed, get this amplifier. One more thing... if your cable TV needs amplified also, get this amplifier and another one for TV. This amplifier may not have enough power to boost TV signal (otherwise it will mess up the cable modem signal). The best to go is to install this amplifier between your cable modem and the first splitter (or the wall socket) the modem connects to.
 This product is worthless, deceptive adverising Not for OTA February 7, 2005

Connected this Signal Booster to a 72" radio shack antenna. Without the signal booster, the reception is near perfect for analog, pretty good for digital but sometimes fox's reception will drop out. After installing the Signal Booster, the analog stations all show "snow". So then I try the HD, ..... nothing. I am not recieving a strong enough signal for ANY channel to display.
I called Motorola tech support and they said that there is a "misprint" on the package and it does not actually work with an antenna, only cable. That is my last try with Motorola products. From my experience they are rarely reliable.
 GREAT PURCHASE!! :) February 11, 2004

I have spent alot of money on trying to improve the cable television reception on my computer monitor... which was pretty bad at first. In order to improve it, I bought a somewhat costly surge protecter for power conditioning, A $30 Monster gold plated splitter, and 3 Monster gold plated coaxial cables that were only 3 feet long, but were priced at $30 EACH. They did make significant improvement in the picture and sound quality, but nothing like the signal booster which improved my signal to near PERFECTION. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because there is ONE channel that doesn't come up perfect & that is channel 2 which has only average picture and sound...but considering the fact that before i had the booster I couldn't even SEE and hardly HEAR channel 2 at all, I am EXTREMELY happy with it. I don't often write reviews for products even though I shop Amazon alot, but I am so happy to finally have great tv signal that I had to say something. :)
