Install Antennas
Choose a stronger signal reception location for the indoor 4G router.
Choose A Location
You can read signal bars on your mobile phone, followed by the carrier name and network symbol.
There are various mobile networks, 2G, 3G, 4G, and even the newest 5G NR networks. To get a fast and stable internet connection on the EZR23 outdoor router, we shall input a strong 4G LTE signal to the router.
The mobile modem sensitivity is -101dBm. We should input at least 2-bar 4G LTE signals for the router. You can use your phone, walk around, and choose a location with a strong 4G signal reception for the EZR23 router.
Install Antennas
There is a total of four antenna sockets on the EZR23 router. All of them are SMA-female connectors.
When installing the antennas, put the router and antennas in a straight direction to avoid bending the pins in the connector. Twist the SMA-male connector on the antennas in the clockwise direction to install the antennas on the router. Make sure the connection is tight.
The two wide panels on the 4G paddle antennas have a higher performance. Please adjust the paddle direction to the outside or signal source to receive a better signal.
Check Signal Strength on the Router
Insert a SIM card and log in to the indoor 4G router admin. You can check the cellular network band and RSRP signal strength on the front page. You can change the router location and adjust the 4G antenna directions to improve the signal reception on the router.
The closer the number is to zero, the better the reception, so -90dB is a stronger signal than -100 dB.
The numerical values of 2G and 3G networks are RSSI standards. The LTE network is RSRP standard, which is Reference Signal Receive Power.
Upgrade Antenna
When you have a weak signal reception, please consider upgrading the 4G mobile antenna with a higher-gain antenna. The MIMO panel antenna can point towards the cell tower and receive stronger 4G signals.
To connect to the other mobile or WiFi antennas, make sure these antennas have the standard SMA-male connectors. You can use both a MIMO and a single-polarized antenna on the router. If it's a single-polarized antenna, please connect it to the mobile main socket on the left side.
