How to resolve fluctuating signal issues with an external directional antenna on an FWA-510?

If you are experiencing fluctuating signal strength and changing Cell IDs when using an external directional antenna with your FWA-510, it's likely due to the device switching between multiple base station sectors with similar signal strengths. This can lead to a significant drop in signal quality. To address this, follow these recommended steps:

1. Band Lock
   Prioritize specific bands like n28/B3 that demonstrate a stronger and more stable signal.
2. Antenna Fine-tuning
   Carefully adjust the antenna direction to ensure the target cell has a clear 5–7 dB signal advantage over neighboring cells.
3. Cable Optimization
   Use low-loss cables and secure all connectors to minimize any additional signal degradation.
