1. Install Swidget Insert(s) into Swidget wiring device(s) ensuring the pins on the back of the Insert are aligned with the ones on the wiring device.
2. Location of the hotspot is mostly constrained by the discreetness needed to prevent theft or tampering. Follow these steps to optimize the location for signal strength, while making the hotspot as inconspicuous as possible.
- Carefully Screw on antennas.
- Plug in LTE Hotspot in a central location within the property away from physical obstructions (like walls or furniture). Materials like concrete, brick or metal can significantly weaken Wi-Fi signal.
- Hold down the power button until the light turns solid green.
Network Optimization Tips
- Avoid placing the hotspot near metal objects, microwaves, fridges, large appliances or devices that can cause electrical interference.
- Elevate the hotspot - keeping the hotspot elevated (on a shelf for example) can help in distributing the signal more evenly.
- If possible, avoid installing devices facing away from the hotspot as the metal box of the wiring device could potentially cause interference with the Wi-Fi signal.
