How to Increase the Strength and Quality of the Signal

In particular, the Signal Strength bar area graphically represents the strength of the synchronization signal your Modem is receiving from BTS. The strength of the signal is represented by a group of colored bars. The higher the pile of bars goes, the stronger the signal is. The color of the bars also gives an indication of the strength of the signal. Green lines indicate an excellent signal. Orange lines indicate a good signal while red lines indicate a weak signal.

The Signal Quality bar area graphically represents the Signal-to- Noise Ratio (SNR) received by your Modem. Again, the quality of the signal is represented by a group of colored bars. The higher the pile of bars goes, the better the SNR of the signal. The color of the bars also gives an indication of the quality of the signal. Green lines indicate an excellent signal or an SNR greater than 21. Orange lines indicate a good signal or an SNR greater than or equal to 13 but less than or equal to 21. Red lines indicate a weak signal or an SNR less than 13.

To increase the strength and quality of the signal, change the location of your Modem. Try moving it closer to a window, to a higher location, away from other wireless devices (microwave ovens, cordless phones), and away from metal objects (shelves, file cabinets). As you reposition your Modem, watch the Signal Strength and Signal Quality bars on the NavDiag screen. Place your Modem in the location where you receive the most green signal strength and quality bars.

The History Graphs The History graphs plot the change in signal strength and signal quality over time. The graphs cover the last minute and are updated every second. Read the graphs from right to left. The right side of the graph represents the most recent status of your Modem.
