FAQ

A mobile phone repeater is a professional device that catches mobile signals from nearby tower, boosting and broadcasting them within the coverage area. The device is bi-directional which has 2 added benefits. On the one hand, it works to improve your signal reception. On the other hand, it amplifies the signal sent from your smartphone to the provider`s tower. The primary purpose of using a signal booster is to improve network coverage for faster 5G and 4G/LTE Internet streaming, social media and browsing as well as GSM voice calls. For more details, please visit the How Mobile Amplifiers Work page.

Starting from as few as 5, there is really no limit to the amount of smartphones and 5G, 4G/LTE network connections that can be amplified at the same time, but with our recent tests with an LCD-300 GD, you can support over 100 smartphones simultaneously. It doesn’t matter whether you are using an iPhone, Samsung Galaxy S7, S8, Huawei, LG or a Motorola smartphone, you will always receive the best coverage using our signal boosters. The only condition to be able to benefit from amplified signal is not to move out from the coverage area.

We understand that our customers are very concerned about their health and safety by using these signal boosters.

Smartphone signal repeater models vary depending on coverage, capacity, dBs, and frequency types. Hence, it is recommended to read our Buyer's Guide page on choosing the right type of booster. You can also read more technical info in the manuals, which can be found on the relevant product pages. And, sure, do not hesitate to get in touch with us while choosing a booster.

Every mobile phone booster is easy to install without requiring any sort of technical know-how. For that you will just need to spend some time familiarising yourself with the booster by reading the manual. After going through the manual, you can easily install it without any technical help. Browse our How to Install page that we have specially designed for non-techies. However, feel free to Contact our technical support for professional help if you are unsure.

It depends whether your network supports voice calls and 4G on the same frequency. If yes, then the repeater will boost voice and 4G signals. Nevertheless, 4G signal booster sets are generally designed only for improving mobile internet, not voice calls.

Most modern boosters at Mobile Signal Boosters are either dualband or triband, meaning that they support amplifying GSM and 5G/4G LTE signals at the same time. To buy from one of these models, you are invited to visit our GSM mobile signal booster page or use our Search engine.

Absolutely, we provide certified amplifiers that boost signals regardless of the number of obstacles in your home or office. However, it is important that you choose a reliable repeater that provides adequate network coverage across multiple rooms and floors. Choosing the best model may become more complicated if a building has concrete walls or metal partitions. In such situations, we suggest you to contact our managers to choose the best repeater for your individual situation and needs.

The length differs depending on the model. For powerful repeaters such as NS-5000 GD, the cable length is approximately 15-20 meters; whereas for boosters such as the NS-300 GD, it is around 5-10 meters. It is better to use the cable provided with your installation kit to avoid any type of signal loss.

It also differs for most of the repeaters. For powerful repeaters like NS-5000 GD or NS-2500 GD the maximum length can be 25-30 meters; whereas for smaller models like LCD-300 GD or NS-300 GD, it is 15-20 meters. However, we still strongly recommend to use the standard cable provided with the kit to avoid any type of signal loss.

To interpret signal level with maximum precision, you’ll need to switch your smartphone into Field test mode (FTM). It’s a free application available in the App Store and Google Play Store requiring no extra setups for iOS and Android operating systems respectively. For each OS, the following steps need to be performed:

• iOS. Type * 3001 # 12345 # * and touch Call
• Android. Type * # * # 197328640 # * # * to activate
• Windows. Type # # 3282 # and start.
• Blackberry. Press TOOLS, SETTINGS, STATUS or OPTIONS, STATUS.

It is important to turn off WiFi for getting the right parameters of 2G, 5G and 4G LTE. If you are unable to search for the Field Test Mode on your smartphone, contact us to help you out with completing the Field Test mode.

It is vital that you install the external antenna correctly in the following order to get the best network reception:

1. Unbox the booster kit
2. Setup, and turn on the system.
3. It is better to have at least 2 persons for the installation process, one for aiming the antenna on the roof, and the other for installing the device and measuring results.
4. One person should be on the roof to aim antenna towards your provider`s cell phone tower. The other should wait every minute to check signal level.
5. The person on the rooftop should then rotate the antenna 1/8th of the way around, equalling 45 degrees. The person inside does the same procedure with signal testing.
6. We advise to repeat the entire process 8 times until you try all 8 directions, every 45 degrees.
7. Compare the results – the position that shows dB numerical value close to zero, is the result that you need to aim to.
8. Fix the antenna in the direction that shows the lowest dB value.

Please, note, that the external antenna should be aimed away from buildings, transmission cables and any obstacles that could impede the results.

As mentioned earlier, the Field Test Mode is important to determine your antenna’s position. Here is a guide to help you out:

• -105 to -100 = Higher chances of call dropping and poor voice quality
• -99 to -90 = Poor bad/signals, may drop calls
• -89 to -80 = Low chances of call dropping
• -79 to -65 = Good signal reception. Much better quality
• Over -65 = Excellent. The best voice quality possible

You should aim ideally for -79dB for the best indoor signal amplification.

There are various types of Nikrans 4G repeater: some of them support just one 4G frequency, while others are multiband and work with multiple frequencies at a time.

If you need a universal solution, choose a multiband booster for example NS-300-Smart — it will support all major UK operators (EE, Vodafone, O2, Three).

If you prefer a single-band model, contact our managers. They’ll help you pick the right one based on your local coverage and operator.

Each LCD booster has a screen where you will see displayed all signal information.

As for other booster models, every mobile phone repeater from NS series comes with LED lights and here is each one of them described:

• Green LED means that the repeater is turned on and functioning fine.
• Red LED shows the quality of GSM / 5G / 4G signals When this light blinks or glows, it means that signals are being received.
• Alarm LED indicates problems in the functioning. When it is on, it means that the device is not working properly.

It is important to note that every repeater differs in terms of LED lights and notifications. For more accurate information, please refer to the operating manual.
