Knowledge Base How to Find a Good 5G Network Environment for Deco X50-5G
As the current 5G network is still in development, the coverage may be limited in some areas. Therefore, it's crucial to find an optimal location for your Deco X50-5G to ensure reliable 5G NR signal reception.
First, How to check the quality of the current network signal
- The LED status on the Deco X50-5G- Make sure it is solid white.
- The Internet Status on the Deco APP- RSRP/RSRQ/SNR
To address issues with cellular base station coverage and potential signal interference from nearby sources, we could try the following suggestions:
1. Insert the SIM card into the mobile phone, and then walk around the house to check the signal strength on the software.
- For Android, a third-party software - Cellular-Z APP is very useful for viewing the current service cell signals(RSSI/RSRP/RSRQ and more)
- For IOS, please refer to the iPhone Field Test to check detailed technical information about the device's cellular signal strength, connection quality, and other related data.
2. After finding a suitable location, you could also lock the current cell ID/band to further improve the mobile signal.

3. Use external antennas.
If there happens to be a power socket near the ideal spot in your home, it would be a fortune for Deco X50-5G. However, outdoor signals are often stronger than indoor ones. Fortunately, the Deco X50-5G supports external antennas and it would be beneficial to mount a pair of antennas on the roof.
