Using the Antenna Position Test
The Wave app has a special “Antenna Position Test” that you can
nd in “Antenna Settings” under the “Settings” tab.
Wait for the booster to display a solid green LED before
proceeding with the antenna position test. With each location
and direction you try, you can “Capture” results. Tests take about
a minute each. Ideally, we want to nd a location with a score of
115 or higher.
If you have very weak or low-quality signal outdoors, then it may
be hard to get over 100 or even 90. It’s okay if that’s the case, just
nd the best score you can. Alternatively, you might nd that the
rst location you try is over 115. That’s great! It’s still worth trying
more locations to optimize for the very best signal.
Don't be surprised if your antenna position score goes down
later on when you connect your internal antenna(s). That's normal!
How to Position & Aim
Finding the right outdoor antenna location and direction takes some patience, but it’s
absolutely worth it. Spending time to get it right will have a big impact on your system’s
performance.
Here are all the locations and directions we recommend testing your outdoor antenna:
How come we don’t recommend just using the highest point on the roof? It’s simple: while
signal strength is generally higher on the roof, signal quality is often better on the side of
the building.
