Finding the best position for your QuadPro is the most important part of the installation
process
. In this section, we explain the best and simplest method for positioning and aiming
your QuadPro. Section 06 covers some more advanced tips for additional optimization.
The Goal
Your goal is to find the
best location and direction
for the QuadPro. Its position should
maximize the data rates
from your cellular router. It can take a little patience, but spending
some extra time here can have a huge impact on performance - it’s worth the extra effort.
1. Prepare your Test Setup
Is your cellular router battery-powered?
Or,
do you have a power extension cord?
If so,
connect your QuadPro directly to your
cellular router
(as shown below), restart
your router, and take them both outside to
start testing.
Can’t take your router outdoors?
No problem. For your test setup, keep your router powered
indoors and add the UltraFlex-Quad cable into the setup to bring the QuadPro outside.
If you’re leaving your router indoors, your speed tests may be limited by the router’s Wi-Fi
range rather than its cellular connection. Ask someone to stay near the router so they can run
speed tests as you try different positions with the QuadPro outside.
