For best performance, place the antenna outdoors using the mounting hardware provided with the antenna. Placement is especially important if the building is of metal construction or has metal siding. If necessary, you can mount an antenna inside a building; however, indoor placement reduces the antenna’s effective range.
To ensure the physical safety of anyone near the antenna and to prevent damage to the bridge, follow the building codes for antenna installations in your area. This is another good reason to make sure that only a professional performs the installation.
Keep in mind that in order to comply with FCC
Ensure that access is available for routing the Ethernet cable from the bridge to the Ethernet connection inside.
Make certain that the antenna mast is appropriately grounded. Proper grounding can prevent injury or damage from lightning strikes.
After installing the bridge, the highest allowable power level is automatically set when country selection is configured. Adhering to this configuration ensures compliance with national laws.
