Heads up: 

Using MIMO antennas to improve your signal can take a bit of patience. 

We’d be surprised if you saw better data rates immediately upon connecting the antennas.

 

Be prepared to spend an hour or two to find the right location and direction for your antennas. 

This manual is based on feedback from hundreds of customers like you. We’ve revised it 
dozens of times to make it as helpful as possible and make the process of getting better data 
rates as easy as we can.

We promise you’ll be glad if you read it from start to finish before you get started. It’ll help you 
save time, avoid the most common pitfalls, and ensure your system works as well as possible.

Who We Are

Hi! We’re Waveform. We’ve been around since 2007, and while we’ve grown a bunch since 
then, we’re still a small team. There’s just a handful of us answering texts, and picking up calls. 

The four of us pictured below lead support and product development. Feel free to reach out 
to us at any time; our emails are all just our first names @waveform.com

Stuck? Have Questions? 

Please:

 Contact Us!

We’re a small team, but we really care about helping you get the best results. 

If you’re having issues, please contact us. Sometimes a small tweak we suggest can make all 
the difference.  

Even if everything goes smoothly, please let us know how your system is performing. We love 
getting feedback: Is there any way we could make the install process or this manual better?
