Maintain your Deployments
Keep your XNET Mobile Access Point running at peak performance with these simple best practices for maximum earning potential.
Deployment Maintenance Guide
1. Ensure Clear Line of Sight
Avoid placing your Access Point (AP) behind thick walls, metal objects, or inside enclosures.
Mount the AP in an open area with good visibility—especially if it supports outdoor coverage.
Elevation helps! A higher or ceiling mounted position (e.g., window ledge, wall mount, ceiling or rooftop) improves signal propagation.
2. Maintain a Reliable Backhaul Connection
Your AP needs a consistent internet connection to offload traffic to the XNET network. (min. 100mbps ⬇️, min. 10mbps ⬆️)
Avoid using shared, throttled, or unstable WiFi as your backhaul—connect via wired Ethernet only.
Check with the ISP to ensure sufficient speeds and NO strict data caps.
Your connection to the main internet (backhaul) is important for handling high data traffic (offload). Consider a dedicated Ethernet line to reduce competition for bandwidth. This can boost network performance drastically and increase revenue in premium locations.
Conduct speed tests onsite to verify bandwidth capacity if you observe an increase in reject rates.
3. Use Your Own Router for Visibility
Consider using your own router or managed switch for more control over your network and access to live traffic metrics. These devices can be deployed for testing and removed as necessary.
This allows you to monitor bandwidth, uptime, and simultaneous device connections more precisely.
4. Power Cycle Occasionally
If you notice reduced performance, try rebooting your AP and router.
This can clear temporary network issues or firmware hiccups.
5. Periodically Check the Dashboard

6. Watch for Environmental Changes
New obstacles (like parked trucks, signage, or seasonal foliage) can impact coverage.
Reassess AP placement if coverage seems reduced over time.
By maintaining your deployment with these simple steps, you help ensure stable coverage for users and maximize your earnings on the XNET Mobile network.
