The W2005 outdoor 5G wideband adapter is purpose-built for exterior mounting and should be installed by a professional. The following includes considerations when identifying a location for mounting.
Ensure that the mounting surface clear of any obstructions or objects that may interfere with the antennas, signal reception, or cables.
Position the device for optimal signal reception.
Ensure plenty of airflow for ventilation.

The pole on which the W2005 is to be mounted must be metal, hollow, and between 3-10 inches in diameter.
From the base of the pole to where the W2005 is mounted can be no higher than 10 feet.
