Assembling Your System

Once you've identified the best location for your antennas, it's time to set up a provisional
install. Keep your antennas outside in the location you've selected, but run the cables and test
your router/hotspot indoors.
Don't drill any holes in your walls yet! Start with a temporary install to make sure everything is
working well, as described in the next section of the manual.
Getting the Complete Kit Set Up
Refer to the diagram to the right as needed, for assembling the complete kit.
1
Secure your MIMO Panel Antenna or Log Periodic Antennas to your mount if you
haven't already. If your kit includes four Log Periodic Antennas, be sure to cross-polarize
them. See section 2 above for more information.
2
Mount the antenna(s) outdoors in the location and direction where you found the fastest
data rates using the method described in section 3.
3
Connect your Quad RS240 coax cables to the MIMO Panel/Log Periodic Antennas.
Or, if you purchased lightning surge protectors, connect the MIMO Antenna(s) to the
included 5' jumper cables, Lightning Surge Protectors, and Quad RS240 coax cable.
Instructions on grounding are in the next section of the manual.
4
Connect the SMA ends of the Quad RS240 cable to the antenna ports on your router
and hand-tighten them. If your device uses TS9 or U.FL connectors, then use the
included pigtail adapters to connect to the coax cables.
Install tip: Some devices have both WiFi and cellular 4G/5G external antenna ports. Make sure
you connect the MIMO antenna to your device's cellular antenna ports and not the WiFi port.
Your device's user manual or our device-specific guides may help here.
