Many homeowners search online for "mobile signal boosters" and find cheap, compact repeaters on eBay or Amazon for $150. However, buying and operating these devices in Australia is strictly illegal.
The Dangers of Illegal Repeater Boxes
Cheap unapproved signal amplifiers do not lock onto carrier frequencies properly. They broadcast wide interference waves, causing feedback loops that can crash entire local carrier towers in regions like Berwick. Because of this, the ACMA actively tracks illegal repeaters, carrying penalties up to $50,000.
