Using the Antenna Position Test
The Wave app has a special “Antenna Position Test” that you can
find in “Antenna Positioning” under the “Settings” tab.
Wait for the booster to display a solid green LED before
proceeding with the antenna position test. With each location
and direction you try, you can “Capture” results. Tests take about a
minute each. Ideally, we want to find a location with
a score that is
as high as possible
.
The scores are completely relative to one another so
there isn't
a specific value to aim for
, just find the best score you can. It will
take some work, but it's always worth it to test as many locations as
possible, to optimize for the very best signal.
Don't be surprised if your antenna position score goes down later
on when you connect your indoor antenna(s). That's normal!
How to Position & Aim
Finding the right outdoor antenna location and direction takes some patience, but it’s
absolutely worth it. Spending time to get it right will have a big impact on your system’s
performance.
Here are all the locations and directions we recommend testing your outdoor antenna:
How come we don’t recommend just using the highest point on the roof? It’s simple: while
signal strength is generally higher on the roof, signal quality is often better on the side of the
building.
