Proper setup of your QuadMini antenna is crucial for maximizing signal improvement. The kit provides multiple mounting options and accessories to suit various installation scenarios.
1. Mount Your QuadMini Antenna
The QuadMini can be mounted indoors or outdoors. Outdoor mounting generally provides optimal performance, while indoor mounting offers easier installation. Choose the best location based on signal strength and convenience.
- Гадна суурилуулах: Use the pole mount adapter or direct wall mounting options. Secure the antenna firmly to a pole or wall on the side of your house that receives the strongest cellular signal.
- Indoor Mounting: Utilize the desktop stand for placement near a window or use the strong suction cups to attach the antenna directly to a window pane.

2. Run Cables Inside
The kit includes a Window Entry Cable to route the UltraFlex-Quad cables indoors without drilling holes. This thin, flat cable allows you to close a window over it without damaging the cables.
- Connect the UltraFlex-Quad cables from the antenna to one end of the Window Entry Cable.
- Place the flat section of the Window Entry Cable across the window sill and close the window.
- Connect the other end of the Window Entry Cable to the U.FL Adapters, which will then connect to your router.

3. Connect Your 5G Gateway
Connect the U.FL Adapters from the UltraFlex-Quad cables to the external antenna ports on your 5G gateway or router. Ensure all connections are secure. Some gateways may require light modifications to access internal U.FL ports.
After connecting, reboot your 5G gateway or router to allow it to recognize the new external antenna. Monitor your signal strength and data rates to confirm improved performance.

Ашиглалтын заавар
The Waveform QuadMini is designed for continuous operation. Once installed and connected, it will passively enhance your router's ability to receive and transmit cellular signals. Its omnidirectional nature means it does not require re-orientation unless your primary cellular tower changes or you move the antenna to a new location.
For optimal performance, ensure your router is powered on and functioning correctly. The antenna works in conjunction with your router's internal modem to improve signal quality and data throughput.
Засвар үйлчилгээ
The QuadMini antenna requires minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect the antenna and cables for any visible damage or wear, especially if installed outdoors. Ensure all connections remain tight and weatherproof boots are properly seated to prevent moisture ingress.
Clean the antenna's surface with a soft, damp cloth if it accumulates dirt or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the casing.
