Before You Begin
Read the following before setting up your W2000 indoor 5G Wideband adapter.
Location Considerations
The W2000 Indoor 5G Wideband adapter is purpose-built for indoor mounting and should be
installed by a professional. The following includes considerations when identifying a location for
mounting.
•
Ensure that the mounting surface is flat and clear of any obstructions or objects that may
interfere with the antennas, signal reception, or cables.
•
Position the endpoint for optimal cellular and Wi-Fi signal reception.
•
Avoid mounting in direct sunlight or in locations where it may be exposed to the weather.
•
Ensure plenty of airflow for ventilation.
•
Mount in locations compliant with the Safety, Regulatory, and Warranty guide, included
in the product shipping box.
IMPORTANT:
The W2000 indoor 5G Wideband adapter requires increased separation
distances in relation to other networking hardware. Therefore, Cradlepoint requires that all 5G
adapters be installed by a professional. For assistance with installation or in locating a

Ethernet Cable Considerations
Cradlepoint recommends shielded, twisted-pair (S/FTP) Ethernet network cabling and
connectors (Cat5/Cat6/Cat6a/Cat7a) for optimal wired network performance.

A wireless broadband data plan must be added to your Cradlepoint W2000 for wireless
broadband connectivity. Network providers, such as AT&T, Verizon, and Telstra, must provision
a SIM to provide wireless broadband data plans compatible for use with the Cradlepoint W2000
indoor 5G Wideband adapter endpoints. Contact your network provider for further details.
