How can I improve the signal strength reading?

If the signal strength reading is below 12 or at 99, consider relocating your existing Antenna away from any source of interference such as metal, electrical conduit or any power distribution sources.

You may find that your site visit is at a remote location, or the site is in a poor signal area.  If this is the case, you can purchase a 5m High Gain Antenna from the CSL installer shop.

Having a spare High Gain Antenna on hand can often help and remove the need for a return site visit. A 5m Extension cable can also be ordered. This combined with the 5m High Gain Aerial provides a total cable length of 10m.
