Wiring diagrams Option 1: Using an external antenna, for cellular only internet If Swiftlane provided internet is being used as the primary internet service, please follow these wiring options. An external antenna is strongly recommended in this scenario to maximize signal strength, especially since the signal can be weaker in server and IDF rooms Option 2: Using external antenna and cellular as a backup to primary wired internet... -

Page 13: Setting Up Cellular Failover To The Wan (Wired Internet)
Proximity to the cellular tower ● Signal going through a cellular repeater ● Competing signals ● Physical barriers (mountains, buildings, trains, etc.) ● Weather ● Setting up cellular failover to the WAN (wired internet) In order to ensure that the router is able to fallback to the cellular/mobile signal whenever the internet is down, make sure Failover is enabled in the router setting. - Page 14 if the SINR, RSRP and RSRQ improve. Ideally, we can move the antenna to a south facing location, to further improve these metrics. If the SINR goes above 20 Dbm this will result in an excellent reliable signal long term. But it would be better even better at 15 or higher.
