After we receive your order, our installation group will call you to schedule a time that is convenient for you. Installation time is about two hours.
The installer will confirm if you qualify for service and will discuss with you where the antenna will be placed on your building.
The installer will then mount the antenna on the roof of your building.
Next, a shielded cat 5 cable is run from the antenna and is terminated to a Prairie iNet wall jack inside your building.  (The standard installation does not include any in-building cabling or wall fishes. Generally, those services are available for an additional charge and the installer will be able to give you a price for that work at the time of installation.)
The connection is tested at the wall jack to make sure that the Internet connection is functioning properly.
You’re off to the Internet! Plug in your router or computer into the Prairie iNet wall jack and then reboot. Now you should be connected.

For additional instructions, see our Quick Setup Guide. We will need to have your MAC address on file before you will be able to connect. If you did not provide your installer with your MAC address, give us a call at 800-527-2404

If you need a non-penetrating roof mount (antenna mounting sled) these are an additional charge and not included as a part of a standard installation.

If you need to purchase a network card for your computer, they are readily available at most electronics stores or via many Internet retailers.
