[…]but out of direct sunlight and see if that solves the problem. Don’t put anything on top of the gateway. 4. Eliminate Interference If your gateway is near other electronic appliances, try turning those off to see if that helps. This includes computer equipment, appliances, and even LED light bulbs. 5. Set Up a Timer to Force Reboot Every Night This is an interesting idea that many folks have come up with, namely, power your gateway using a timer that cycles power every night. Of course, if your gateway requires a reboot every hour, this solution won’t do much good. […]
[…]do it. Armed with these meters, you can now experiment with the optimal placement of your internet gateway! If You’re in IP Passthrough Mode If your gateway is set to IP Passthrough Mode, you may have to do an extra step to see the signal strength meter. After inserting the code above, click on Network, then Network Status to make that section appear. Scroll down to the Cellular section. If you don’t see the meter, paste the code into the dev tool window again and run it one more time. Voila! You should now see the signal strength meter! Conclusion […]
[…]could stop this at any time, so don’t bank on this working in the future. Can I attach my own 5G antennas to the gateway? It depends on which model you receive (you don’t have control over which model you get). If you receive the ARC-XCI55AX model, you can hack it to attach your own antennas but it requires opening up the unit and running cables from it. It would definitely void any kind of warranty on the unit. The ASK unit does not have a way to attach external antennas. There is a newer tower unit, but no word […]
[…]Get This If You Can Released in 2023, this is the newest of the Verizon 5G Home Internet gateways. Physically, it’s taller than the previous gateways and slightly grey instead of white. It features better Wi-Fi coverage and signal strength indicators right on the front panel. Some users have reported higher bandwidth than the previous models as well. If you have a choice, this is the one to get. You may be able to choose if you go to a Verizon store instead of signing up online and getting it in the mail. Most users that have tried to “upgrade” […]
[…]get you the most channels. But if you’re not able to install a rooftop antenna, I recommend the Mohu Leaf indoor antenna: For More Information Click here if you want to do a quick test to see if your TV can pick up any stations. No antenna is needed for this test. If you’d like to get more channels and better reception with your indoor antenna, read my tips and tricks for indoor antennas […]
[…]much better unless you live far from all stations. (In full disclosure, I have received free Mohu antennas for review purposes, but I have also received lots of other free antennas that I don’t recommend as much). Connect your converter box to your TV, then your antenna to your converter box. Follow the instructions that came with your converter box, and you’ll be set to watch the broadcast channels in your area. Tweaking the antenna position to get all of the available channels takes some work. You can follow my tips in this article. 2. Roku Express+ 2018 Edition Roku […]
[…]you are in a green or stronger area, you should be able to receive that channel with a good indoor antenna like the Mohu Leaf. If you are in a blue area, you should be able to receive that channel with an attic or roof antenna. Anything further out – you might be able to get with a roof antenna, but no promises! One caveat is that VHF signals are more difficult to receive (by most HD TV antennas) than UHF signals. So, even if a VHF station is “green”, you might not be able to receive it with an […]
[…]you can improvise one. A length of wire or any metal object can serve as a temporary primitive antenna. While it might not bring in as many channels as a real antenna, it’s enough to test with. Your Game Console Do you have an Xbox 360, Wii, or Playstation 3? You can use any of these devices to watch Netflix and Hulu Plus on your TV. Check for other services that work with your particular gaming device. You might not need to buy a Roku or Apple TV if you have one of these gaming boxes. Your Old Computer Do […]
[…]States, you should be able to receive most of the network channels (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CW), plus PBS and local stations in hi-def using an antenna. It’s called broadcast digital TV. I was able to get thirty channels total in Providence, RI, and now over 100 in Los Angeles, CA. It takes a little work to set up, but I’ll guide you through it. To see which channels you can get using an antenna, click the big Station Finder button below and enter your zip code. You will see a map of your area like this one. Wait a few […]

[…]to this company that sells products that get you the fastest cellular speeds, including on home 5G gateways. If you have the ARC-XCI55AX gateway, it turns out that you can hack it to add an external antenna! That would really maximize your data rates. If, like me, you have the ASK-NCQ1338/FA/E gateway, you can’t attach an external antenna. However, you can put your SIM card into a different router that can handle an external antenna. Needless to say, do these at your own risk! I’m sure these would invalidate any kind of warranty on the device. I’m way too scared […]
[…]more that were flaky or that didn’t come in at all. So, I went out and purchased a big metal antenna, the Antennas Direct DB-4 from Solid Signal. This got me more channels, but I still wasn’t satisfied. Around that time, there was a lot of hoopla about a new flat antenna, the Mohu Leaf. So, I ordered one. When I tested it, I was totally blown away that this small flat antenna could get better TV reception than a bulky more expensive metal antenna! My Setup Today Since then, I’ve moved back to Santa Monica and continued testing antennas. But, […]

[…]way to temporarily give your TV the best possible reception during the scan. When done, bring your antenna back inside. Once your antenna is back to its normal location, you may not be able to tune all of the channels, but at least they will be in your TV’s memory so you can experiment with your antenna position. 4. Update Your TV’s Firmware Another thing you can try is to update your TV’s firmware (i.e., the software that runs inside your TV), especially if it is an older TV. Check your TV manufacturer’s website for any updates. Sometimes you can […]
[…]the complete list of channels I watch on free broadcast TV. It took a lot of experimentation with antenna position to get all of the networks and local channels. I have flat antennas in two locations now: one in my skylight on my second floor, and one on the inside of my front door next to my TV. Some of the types of shows I watch for free on broadcast TV include the Olympics, the World Series, NFL football, Big Bang Theory, PBS, and local and national news. Oh, and re-runs of Star Trek (from the original series to Enterprise) […]
[…]is a much more complex device, and it’s much more prone to failure. If you have an amplified antenna (i.e, your antenna requires power), such as the Mohu Leaf 50, try removing the amplifier from your antenna and plugging your antenna directly into your TV. This worked for reader Faith G! 9. Your Cables are Loose – Reconnect and Tighten Them Make sure your coax cable connections are tight, both at your TV and at your antenna. I was advising one reader offline, and this turned out to be his problem! He was losing signal at the same time every […]
[…]to point your antenna, and has an included compass to help you do that properly. I used my trusty Mohu Leaf as my antenna. Next was the Wi-Fi setup process, which is similar to setting up other products like Ring doorbells where you have to temporarily set your phone to use the device’s Wi-Fi network in order to enter your Wi-Fi network name and password. That worked flawlessly for me. After that, I had to update firmware which took a while. It took more than a few minutes so I left to do something else and came back later. Next […]
[…]a more unusual one, but I got the idea from the Antenna Man. He’s got a relative who has poor antenna reception in his area. So, the Antenna Man set up a DVR at his own home, which has good reception, and gave the login to his relative so that he can watch local TV. Kind of a cool idea! The best DVR for this would be AirTV. Which DVR is Best for You? If any of these use cases apply to you, check out my constantly-updated article on the best DVRs for […]
[…]make sure it is grounded properly for lightning strikes. Having said that, I do like the outdoor antennas from Antennas Direct ❯❯, Channel Master, and Solid Signal. Q: How can I get more broadcast TV channels? A: You’ll get the most channels with an attic antenna or outdoor rooftop antenna. If you are not able to set up a rooftop or attic antenna, try these tips with your indoor antenna. Q: Why did I lose channels? A: This is a very common question now with the “FCC Repack” going on. Basically, the FCC has re-arranged the TV frequency spectrum to make more […]
[…]have a modern flat TV, you should be able to get most of the network channels for free using an antenna. Check out DisableMyCable.com for more info on this! And yes, it’s true that “bundling saves money”, but not if you don’t use all of the bundled services. It’s also true that cable companies are raising the cost of Internet-only service, so be sure to compare. It might make sense to bundle the first year, then drop TV and phone after.
