Finding the strongest service provider signal
During this procedure, point the back of the RSU directly toward an outside window. Then, point
the back 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 back 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 a green bar, whose height increases in proportion to the strength
of the signal detected.
•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 back 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 back of the RSU to the left of the starting position.
