Connect 4G Adapter to Base Station
STEP 2
Make sure your Base Station is unplugged. Use the
provided USB cable to connect the Connect 4G to
the USB port on the back of the Base Station. If the
provided cable is not long enough, you can use any
USB cable up to 15' long.
4G Placement Advisory
For the best 4G signal, the Connect 4G Adapter should be placed in an area of your house with
good cellular reception such as in a room with a window. It should ideally be located as close as
possible to a window. Suction cups may be used to mount the adapter directly against a window.
The adapter should not be placed in a corner, against a wall, or within 5 feet of a large metal object
like a water heater or refrigerator.
You can use the signal indicator in the Base Station Setup app to find a good spot with a strong 4G
signal. Simply move the Connect 4G Adapter and wait for approximately 10 seconds. The app will
show the signal strength of in the adapter's current location.
