Setting Up Your SOHO Repeater
Placement of the Outdoor Antenna
Choosing the best location for the Outdoor Antenna will provide the best
performance and the largest area of improved signal. Determine the location
that provides the strongest signal using the signal strength indicator on your
mobile phone. Find the location that provides the most bars of signal strength
and place the Outdoor Antenna at or near that location. Avoid placing the
Outdoor Antenna near metal such as wiring, A/C ducts, metal siding, truss
plates, etc. When connecting the cable to the antenna, run the cable straight
down from the antenna. Avoid draping the coax near the antenna.
Warning:
In order for the repeater to function correctly and not interfere with the mobile
network, there must be enough separation between the indoor and outdoor
antennas. Failure to provide adequate isolation will not only result in poor
indoor coverage, but probably a visit from your local service provider
investigating the network interference.
It is highly recommended that the Outdoor Antenna and Indoor Antenna have
approximately 5m of vertical separation.
Warning:
Avoid placing the Outdoor Antenna near metal such as wiring, A/C ducts, metal
siding, truss plates, etc. When connecting the cable to the antenna, run the
cable straight down from the antenna. Avoid draping the coax near the
antenna.
