Curveball1221 Posted August 29, 2005 CID Share Posted August 29, 2005 In my experience this product has actually had a really positive effect on my broadband and tv signals (Less grainy signal/no loss of internet connectivity). I was wondering if anyone has ever seen or used one of these? Check out circuit city and search for "signal booster" here's the link but I know sometimes circuit city links don't work. http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Motorola-Signal-Booster-484095-001-00-/sem/rpsm/oid/44964/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kamil234 Posted August 29, 2005 CID Share Posted August 29, 2005 never heard of it, but reviews seem mostly positive, you can try it out if you want to, if you dont see good results just return it back. nevermind, you said you have it..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted August 29, 2005 CID Share Posted August 29, 2005 That is interesting.. that is what a booster from the cable company would also do.. i didnt know they sold the motorola one at circuitcity.. thank for the great info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curveball1221 Posted August 29, 2005 Author CID Share Posted August 29, 2005 Just to be clear I would only recommend this product to people who either A) Have a weak signal or older wiring. Split their connection multiple times. My upload increased about 5kbs and my download about 20-30 kbs the main benefit was that I have not had a loss of service since I have installed it (back in march) and was experiencing frequent outages before that (1-3 times per month) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netmasta Posted August 29, 2005 CID Share Posted August 29, 2005 It looks like you also connect it to your computer (specifications) via usb. I wonder what that's for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curveball1221 Posted August 30, 2005 Author CID Share Posted August 30, 2005 The motorola one I have simply has an input and an output for a coaxile cable and a power connector. I don't know which one you are looking at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netmasta Posted August 30, 2005 CID Share Posted August 30, 2005 I went to the link you posted, and looked at the specifications link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curveball1221 Posted August 30, 2005 Author CID Share Posted August 30, 2005 WOW can't say I ever noticed that... about 1 min ago I would have said 100% that it wasn't able to hook to a computer. However, after seeing that I might have to take a quick trip to the basement and check it over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curveball1221 Posted August 31, 2005 Author CID Share Posted August 31, 2005 Well here's the thing I really don't think it's worth the investment if you already have a good signal. In my case my cable was split almost 7-10 times till my modem. I managed to reroute it and have it on the main splitter which splits 4 times. Our tv's tended to have double images and snow and my cable modem would lose signal a few times a month. I even lost signal after getting the cable to the main splitter which meant I had a weak signal to begin with. I put the signal booster directly on the main line coming into our house and then to the first splitter and I have to admit the results were highly visible. All the tv's saw a very noticible improvement and I have yet to lose my cable connection since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
