Step 2: Temporarily Mount the Outside Antenna
In addition to the four corners of the building, the chimney and the pole above the roof
can also be selected. As long as the installation distance between indoor and outdoor
antennas is maintained enough, satisfactory results can also be achieved.
Use one of the three options to mount the outside antenna on your roof on the side of
the house with the strongest signal.
The height of the outside antenna should never exceed the highest point of your house.
This is a precaution against damage and safety concerns caused by lightning strikes to
the outside unit.

Caution
Trees will greatly attenuate wireless signals. If there are tall trees within 100 feet of the
house. At the same time you can't find a stable signal above 3 bars, the outdoor
antenna needs to be erected 60%(at least) to 80%(best) of the tree height.
Never
exceed the trees!
But according to FCC
regulations, outdoor
antenna height cannot
exceed 30 feet.
At the same time, if the
antenna exceeds the roof,
please pay attention to
lightning protection
measures.
