Finding the strongest service provider signal
During this procedure, point the front of the RSU directly toward an
outside window. Then, point the front of the RSU to the right of the
starting position, and then to the left of the starting position.
At these three points, briefly stop the movement of the RSU and note
the strength of the signal from your Internet service provider, as
indicated by the score that the software program reports.
Before you begin, ensure your RSU is sitting on a table or shelf, in the
location you’ve chosen.
1 Point the front of the RSU toward the window. Remove your
hands from the RSU.
Back at your computer program, click Start Scan. Let the RSU
sit stationary for about five seconds.
2 The program searches for a signal from your service provider. In
the Channel Score group, the strength of the signal received at
the starting position is indicated in two ways:
• The indicator bar shows varying levels of red, yellow, and
green. Red indicates weak signal strength, yellow indicates
moderate signal strength, and green indicates strong signal
strength.
•The Current Score field shows the signal strength. During
this procedure, the program compares the Current Score to
the Best Score. Best Score indicates the strongest signal the
program has ever seen during the scanning procedure.
3 After about five seconds, point the front of the RSU to the right
of the starting position.
4 Remove your hands from the RSU and make sure the RSU is
stationary.
The software program determines and reports the strength of
the signal that the RSU receives while the RSU is in its current
orientation.
5 After about five seconds, note the strength of the signal received
at its current position.
6 Point the front of the RSU to the left of the starting position.
