Cellular Signal

How should I position the

Zyxel Device to

get a strong cellular signal?

Find the location of your nearest cellular base station(s), then install the Zyxel Device towards the

direction of those sites. The nearest site or site with a direct line-of-sight is usually preferred.

Note: It is best to test towards more than one cellular site, as the nearest site / line-of-sight is

not always the best due to the terrain, interference, density of usage, etc. All of these

factors influence the stability, availability and throughput of the link to the Zyxel Device

Position the Zyxel Device towards a direction where coverage is expected (example the nearest town).

Conduct test measurements using the Web Configurator’s

System Monitor
