How do I set up my Cel-Fi GO X MIMO kit?

[DelErin]

Setting up your Cel-Fi GO X MIMO kit involves a few key steps to ensure optimal performance. Here's a guide:

1. Consult the Manual: Begin by thoroughly reviewing the Cel-Fi GO X MIMO kit's instruction manual. This crucial first step provides detailed guidance specific to your kit.
2. Assess Outside Signal: Before installation, confirm you have at least one bar of usable signal outside your building. You should be able to make calls and use data reliably. If the signal is weak, consider alternative antenna placements or contact support for help.
3. Check Compatibility: The Cel-Fi GO X MIMO kit works with AT&T (3G and 4G LTE on Bands 2, 4, 5, and 12), T-Mobile (3G and 4G LTE on Bands 2, 4, 5, and 12), and Verizon (4G LTE on Bands 2, 4, 5, and 13). It also supports 5G-DSS on these bands, excluding T-Mobile 5G. Verify your carrier and band compatibility.
4. Download the Wave App: Download the Wave app from waveform.com/waveapp. This app is essential for configuring your Cel-Fi GO X boosters.
5. Set Up the Boosters: Power on each GO X booster by plugging them into a power outlet. Open the Wave app while keeping your phone within four feet of both boosters. Follow the app's pairing instructions and select your desired carrier for boosting. Ensure both boosters are configured for the same carrier.
6. Position the Outdoor Antenna: Use the Wave app's Antenna Position Test to identify the best location and direction for your outdoor antenna. Test several positions and record the results within the app, aiming for a score of 115 or higher. Secure the outdoor antenna temporarily in the chosen location.
7. Install Indoor Antennas: Your kit includes either dome or panel antennas. Install panel antennas on walls near the perimeter of your coverage area. For dome antennas, install them in the ceiling, centered within the area you wish to cover. Maintain sufficient separation between indoor and outdoor antennas to prevent oscillation.
8. Connect Cables: Connect the coaxial cables to the appropriate ports on the boosters and antennas, following the instructions in the manual.
9. Test Performance: Once everything is connected, test the system by making calls and running speed tests to evaluate signal strength and data rates. If the performance is satisfactory, proceed to the final installation.
10. Finalize Installation: If the temporary setup performs well, make the installation permanent. Drill holes as needed, secure the antennas, and run the cables in a more permanent fashion. Be sure to weatherproof outdoor connections and consider surge protection and grounding for added safety.
11. Provide Feedback: Waveform values customer feedback; share your installation experience and system performance. Contact them via email or phone for feedback or questions. For comprehensive guidance and troubleshooting, always refer to the Cel-Fi GO X MIMO Instruction Manual or contact Waveform support.
