Mounting Instructions
Required Hardware
- Screws (4)
- Drywall Anchors (4)
NOTE: This package comes equipped with screws and drywall anchors for mounting in standard drywall. Before you install the mounts, make sure there are no wires or other objects, or metal plates, behind the drywall that may interfere with the inserts, screws, mount, or mounted units.
- Determine Cel-Fi GO G41 Location:
Define where coverage is needed. This is where the server antenna should be placed.
Determine mounting hole locations.
- Prepare Mounting Holes:
In each marked spot, use a 3/16" drill bit to drill guide holes for the anchors. Install anchors (Drywall).
- Install Unit:
Mount the unit.
- Attach Antennas:
Attach the donor and server antennas to the main unit. Must mount the server antenna horizontally. Keep donor and server antenna separated/isolated from each other as far away as possible for best performance.
Quick Installation Steps
- Define Coverage Problem:
Determine where coverage is needed. This is where the server antenna should be placed.
- Place Main Unit:
Place the main unit as far away from the server antenna as the cable will allow, close to a window where there is coverage. Ideally, it should be placed with at least one wall between the donor and server antennas. If the patch antenna cable is too short, it may be extended.
- Attach Server and Donor Antennas:
Attach the donor antenna and server antenna to the main unit. Must mount the server antenna horizontally. Keep donor and server antenna separated/isolated from each other as far away as possible for best performance.
- Plug In Cel-Fi GO G41:
Plug in the unit to power. The LED on the front will blink during setup.
Included in the Box: Main Unit, AC Adapter.
- Cel-Fi WAVE App:
The Cel-Fi WAVE app can be used to optimize the Cel-Fi GO G41 performance. The antenna locations can be adjusted or relocated and system performance quickly assessed via the Cel-Fi WAVE app.
WAVE app smart phone connects to the GO G41 via Bluetooth LE:
- Frequency: 2402-2480 MHz
- Power: 0 dBm

Advanced Installation Considerations
For best results, separate the donor and server antenna(s) as much as possible. Antenna separation (isolation) can be achieved with either physical distance or by having materials (like a wall) between the antennas.
Make sure any cables, splitters, and antennas used in the system are properly matched. (Cel-Fi GO G41 is rated for 50Ω).
Recommendations:
- > 20dB port-to-port isolation for any splitter
- External directional antenna #A62-V44-200 will provide best overall system performance
- Wideband panel antenna #A52-V32-100 may be used as an effective indoor donor antenna
Downlink Power Requirements:
- > 0dBm to use a two-way splitter
- > 3dBm to use a four-way splitter
