In the left column of the following table, is the list of discontinued end-of-life (EOL) Wilson / weBoost cell phone signal booster model numbers. All these're weBoost branded consumer grade models. Listed in the right column, are the new weBoost branded consumer grade replacement models for those respective discontinued (EOL) weBoost / Wilson cell phone signal boosters.
Please note that the difference between most discontinued and replacement models is simply the model name change on units and packaging because manufacturer decided to remove the term "4G" from all model names and that consequently resulted in model number change too, for inventory purposes.

I can’t tell you specifics but from what I’ve read, cell phone boosters will specify what models they support. My understanding is that some are backward compatible so if you got a 4G booster and it said it was 3G compatible, it would support 3G and 4G going forward. Of course, 3G is just about finished. When I get a booster, I’m going to get a 5G booster that’s 4G compatible because 1) 4G is going to last until the end of the decade, and 2) I’m eventually getting a 5G phone.
Seeing how there are a number of discontinued models, I’m starting to wonder just how long a cell booster is good for. What’s the average time a model is good before its technology is obsolete? I wouldn’t want to buy a booster only to have to replace it in one or two years.
