In Section 2 of the manual (go back and read it if you haven’t!) we explained that low signal
quality happens because of “intra-cell interference.”
The best way to improve signal quality is to “shield” the outdoor antenna from any other
towers in the area, by putting it on the side of the building.
When the signal quality outdoors is low, the goal is to shield the outdoor antenna to reduce
the signal from other nearby towers:
For some people, the top of their roof (where signal is the strongest) provides the best signal.
For others, it’s the side of the house. The only way to find which is best is to test.
Set up a Temporary Install
06
Once you’ve found the best outdoor antenna location according to the Antenna Position Test,
it’s time to temporarily secure the outdoor antenna and set up a “temporary install.”
The following 4 pages explain
choosing the right indoor antennas
,
antenna separation
, and
how to assemble your GO G41
. Read them before you start.
We recommend securing the outdoor antenna temporarily, and running coax indoors
through a window or a door without drilling any holes. Once you’ve done that, you can test
your coverage and data rates. If everything is looking good, you can drill holes, install your
antennas, and switch to a permanent install.
If you’re having signal issues with your temporary setup, or aren’t happy with the performance,
simply
call us at (800) 761-3041, email [email protected], or book a meeting with our
dedicated support team at

We’re available from 9am-5pm PT, Monday to Friday. We’ll be happy to help assist - we can
often suggest an easy solution to most problems.
