Advanced Optimization

07

By this point, you should have a really solid understanding of how to aim your MIMO antennas 
and get great performance. In fact, 

we’re convinced that for 95% of people, the instructions 

provided in this manual so far are more than enough

.

If, however, you’d like to go a little deeper and get technical to optimize your system even 
further, here are some general guidelines. 

1

  Look up your nearby towers on CellMapper.net. Try to find the eNodeBIDs that your 

LTE/5G router or hotspot is connecting to using the device’s admin interface. 

2

  Aim your antennas at each nearby tower and band lock your hotspot or router to every 

band that the tower transmits. Run speed tests on each band to find the fastest bands.

3

  Try enabling multiple bands and using carrier aggregation to find the fastest band 

combination. Carrier aggregation allows your devices to connect to two or more bands 
simultaneously but doesn’t always result in an improvement. Stick to a single band if 
that gets you the best results.

Unfortunately, some devices don’t offer band locking, and many don’t list eNodeBIDs or any 

kind of cell tower identifiers, making these steps impossible. Every cellular router and hotspot 

is so different that we could never cover all of them with just one set of instructions.

 

However, we’ve written up guides for some of the most common devices, you can find them 

online at

We suggest reading our guide for your router, or referring to your user manual. 

We’re Here to Help!

We know, there’s a lot of information out there and this can get very technical. Don’t be afraid!

If you’re having difficulty, aren’t happy with the performance of your system, or you’d just 

like a hand, we’d love to help!

generally available from 9am-5pm PT, Monday to Friday.
