No drilling marathon, no electrician, no mysterious pairing ritual. Most zBoost home installs take under an hour and exactly one tool: a wrench.
The three-step install
1. Find the strongest outdoor signal. Walk the roofline with your phone on signal-test mode — the antenna goes where the bars live, not where they look pretty.
2. Mount and aim. Pole-mount the Yagi antenna pointing at your carrier’s nearest tower (your coverage map shows it). Run the coax inside — the Pro Cable Kit’s weatherproof boots make the wall pass painless.
3. Power the indoor unit and separate. The one rule that matters: keep distance between outdoor antenna and indoor booster — 15 vertical feet or 50 horizontal. That’s what stops feedback howl.
Done. Bars appear where they didn’t. If they don’t, our 60-day guarantee exists precisely for that.
