Should you desire to improve coverage, you may:

• 

Relocate the External Antenna in order to capture a better signal – higher is usually better 
and outside is better than inside.

• 

Increase the distance between the Indoor Antenna and the External Antenna.

• 

Purchase an upgrade antenna available at www.zBoost.com.
