How Much Improvement Should You Expect?
In short: It's hard to say. Many people see an increase in data rates of between 50% and 200%,
but some people may only see 10%. Our CEO often says that despite all the science, wireless
signals often work in "strange and magical" ways.
One thing is for sure, the more locations and directions you try the more likely you are to see
a big increase in data rates. If you've gone through this manual and aimed the antenna(s) as
we suggest, but you're still not seeing much improvement, please reach out to us for help.
What tools do I need?
The mounting hardware of your J-Mount and MIMO Antenna(s) will require a size-10mm
wrench to be assembled and additional fasteners and tools will be required to secure the
J-Mount against your building.
If you are unsure which specific fasteners and tools to use for your building, we recommend
reaching out to a local contractor for guidance.

Install Process Overview
This is the process that we suggest using for installing your 2x2 MIMO Antenna(s):
1
Read this manual, ideally from start to finish, so that you understand the whole
installation process before you begin.
2
Assemble your antenna(s) to your mount (Page 6). Start by assembling your mount and
attaching your 2x2 MIMO Panel Antenna or cross-polarized Log Periodic Antennas.
3
Find the best antenna location and direction (Pages 7-9). This step is the most time-
consuming, but it's worth the effort. Getting it right has a huge impact on your system's
performance. Make notes of your readings in the table on page 9.
4
Verify performance and hard-wire everything (Pages 10-12). Without making any holes
in your roof or walls, temporarily run the cable indoors to your cellular router and run
speed tests. If everything looks good, finalize the cable runs and hard-wire everything.
5
Tell us how your system is doing. We really love hearing how our customers' systems
are performing. Send an email or give us a call and let us know how things look.
