The GO G41 is manufactured by Cel-Fi, but supported by
Waveform and our team of Signal Specialists.
We’ve helped over 50,000 customers boost their signal since our
company was founded in 2007. We’ve installed and congured
thousands of devices in buildings across the country, and we’re
here to help. If you have any issues at all, please don’t hesitate to
reach out.
About Waveform
We know, reading manuals isn’t fun. But we promise it’s worth it.
We’ve helped hundreds of customers install the Cel-Fi GO G41 and boost their
signal. We’ve compiled everything we’ve learned in this manual.
Give it a read before you start: it’ll save you time and help you get the best
performance out of your GO G41.
The GO G41 is set-up via the Cel-Fi Wave App, please skip the installation
instructions provided within the app and follow this manual instead.
PLEASE READ THIS FIRST:

Your kit includes the GO G41 Amplier, the UltraPole Base Kit, a Log Periodic outdoor antenna,
a set of indoor antenna(s), and additional installation components. Depending on which kit
you purchased, your kit may also include contain a Grid Parabolic antenna.
Indoor Antennas, Cables, and Splitters (Depends on Kit Selections)
You will either have 1x, 2x, 3x or 4x dome and panel indoor antennas.
This bit is a little confusing: We include both types of
indoor antennas with each kit. This is so you can use
whichever type of antenna works best in your space.
Once you’re done with your install, you’ll have extra
antennas you can discard.
For example - if you purchased a 3 antenna kit, you'll
receive a total of 3x dome antennas and 3x panel
antennas, but you'll only install three antennas in
total.
You'll also have multiple 30 ft RS400 coax cables. If
you picked a kit with multiple indoor antennas you'll
additionally get a 1 ft jumper and a signal splitter.

Signal boosters can be nicky to set up. The Cel-Fi GO G41 is no exception. It will take a bit of
work to get your GO G41 system installed optimally.
But there’s a reason that most people are willing to take the time to perform an installation,
even if it takes 4 to 5 hours. The GO G41 is the only device on the market that provides an
industry-leading 100 dB of gain. Once you get it set up and running properly, you should see a
signicant improvement in signal, right away.
This manual is based on feedback from hundreds of customers like you. We’ve revised it
dozens of times to make it as helpful as possible. We promise you’ll be glad if you read it
from start to nish before you get started. It’ll help you save time, avoid common pitfalls, and
ensure your system works as well as possible.

Before you start
00
It’s critical that you have at least 1 bar of usable signal outside or on the roof of the building
you’re installing the GO G41 in. If you don’t have 1 bar, or if you’re not sure, give us a call.
What do we mean by usable?
Well, you need to be able to place a call and use data reliably. A good way to check is to turn
your phone's Wi-Fi off, go outside, visit speedtest.net, and run a test. If your test is able to
complete, you've got usable signal!
Cell boosters bring signal inside from outdoors. If you don’t have 1 bar of usable signal
outside your building, we’re sorry, but the GO G41 likely won't work at your location. Visit
waveform.com/returns to set up a return. We’re happy to take your Cel-Fi GO G41 back and
try to help you nd a booster that might work.
Compatibility
A quick note on compatibility. The Cel-Fi GO G41 is compatible with:
AT&T 3G, 4G LTE and 5G DSS signal on Bands 2, 4, 5, and 12
Verizon 3G, 4G LTE and 5G DSS signal on Bands 2, 4, 5, and 13
T-Mobile 3G and 4G LTE signal on Bands 2, 4, 5, and 12
Worried about 5G? The Cel-Fi GO G41 is the only consumer grade signal booster capable
of relaying 5G-DSS at 100 dB of gain. Additional 5G NR support will be added in 2024 via a
rmware update.
Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) is used by some carriers to transmit 4G LTE and 5G in a
single “hybrid” channel. 5G DSS Support on the GO G41 is enabled by default on the same
bands listed above.
Unfortunately, the GO G41 cannot boost T-Mobile 5G. T-Mobile's 5G bands are deployed on
bands n71 and n41, which the FCC has not yet approved for boosting in the US.
What do the LAN and USB-C ports do?
The LAN and USB-C ports on the side of the GO G41 are diagnostic ports that can only be
accessed by Cel-Fi Certied System Integrators. The small light is associated with these
ports. No need to worry! Access to these ports is not necessary to setup your system.

Install Process Overview
01
This is the process that we suggest using for installing your Cel-Fi GO G41, each of these
steps is explained in greater detail within the following pages of this manual:
1 Read this manual – Ideally from start to nish so that you understand the whole process
before you begin.
2 Download the Wave app (Page 8) – Visit waveform.com/waveapp on your phone to
download the Wave App, which lets you congure your GO G41.
3 Congure the settings of your GO G41 within the Wave App (Page 8) – Run through
the initial setup in the Wave App to congure your booster. Skip the install instructions
suggested in the app; we're condent that following our manual will lead to a much
smoother installation experience and better performance from your GO G41.
4 Find the best outdoor antenna location and direction (Pages 10-12) – This step is the
most time consuming, but it’s worth the effort. Getting it right has a huge impact on
your system’s performance.
5 ”Temporary install”and indoor antenna positioning (Pages 12-16) – Without making
any holes in your roof or walls, temporarily run the cable indoors to your GO G41, and
nd indoor antenna locations with enough separation from the outdoor antenna.
6 Verify performance and hard-wire everything (Page 17) – Run speed tests and check
your bars – if everything's looking good, it’s time to nalize all your cable runs and
mount antennas.
7 Tell us how your system is doing (Page 22) – We really love hearing how our customer’s
systems are performing. Send us an email and let us know how things look.
If anything’s unclear, or you’re unsure about something, just call us at [phone],
email us at [email protected], or book a meeting with our dedicated support team at
waveform.com/meet We're generally available from 9am-5pm PT, Monday to Friday.

One of the most common questions we get asked is: how do I get better data rates?
To understand how to get the highest data rates we need to dig into the details a little. In this
section we'll give you a quick primer on how cell signal works.
a. Signal Bars
Your phone’s signal bars attempt to give you an idea of how
“good” your signal is.
How does your phone decide how many bars to show? Well,
it measures both the signal strength and signal quality, and
converts those measurements into a simple indicator.
Having either low signal strength or low signal quality can limit the number of bars your phone
displays.
For example, you can have a strong signal, but if the signal quality is low, you won’t have many
bars. Or your signal quality might be perfect, but if it's very weak, you still won’t see many bars.
However, the real secret is this: signal bars aren’t all that important.
You can have full bars and very slow data rates. Or you can have 1 bar and super high data
rates. We regularly see both!
That’s why we don’t recommend judging your signal by the number of bars your device is
showing. Instead, use a speed test app to measure your data rates indoors before and after
you install your GO G41.
You can download our favorite speed test app ("Speedtest by Ookla") by visiting this URL:
waveform.com/speedtest
Go ahead and download that speed test app now, and run a couple of speed tests indoors.
You’ll notice that your results will uctuate a little between tests – that’s normal.
If your phone's connected to Wi-Fi, the speed test will measure the speed of your Wi-Fi instead
of your cellular connection. Disable your phone’s Wi-Fi and run the test again.
A Quick Introduction to Cellular Signal

LTE

b. Signal Quality (SINR)
Signal quality is probably the most important measure of your cell signal. In 4G LTE networks,
signal quality is called “SINR,” which stands for “Signal to Interference Plus Noise Ratio.”
In general, the better the signal quality, the faster your download speeds will be. Improving
this measure can have a big impact on your system’s performance.
Why does signal quality drop? It's actually because cell towers interfere with each other.
Every cell tower transmits signal
on the same set of bands.
If you’re located between multiple
cell towers, your phone has a
hard time clearly “hearing” the
cell signal from the tower you’re
connected to. This is called
“intracell interference.”
A signal booster like the GO G41
won’t increase your signal quality
directly. However, by shielding and aiming the directional outdoor antenna that’s included
in your kit you can nd higher quality signal, and the GO G41 will amplify that signal and
rebroadcast it indoors.
We’ll explain exactly how to position and aim your outdoor antenna later in this manual.
c. Signal Strength (RSRP)
The main measure of signal strength for LTE networks is called
“RSRP.” Signal strength is measured in dBm and is always a
negative number.
Signal boosters like the GO G41 amplify your signal so you
have higher signal strength. The GO G41 has 100 decibels of
gain (a measure of amplication). That means that it’ll cover a
larger area with stronger signal than most boosters.
Stronger signal can help you get better data rates and a more
reliable connection. But signal quality is critical as well.

7
d. Bands
Your cell phone connects to towers on certain ‘frequency bands.” These bands are licensed to
each carrier by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the US.
Each frequency band has a certain “bandwidth” which determines it’s total data capacity. That
capacity is split amongst the users who are connected to it.
In general, higher frequency bands (like 1900 MHz and 2100 MHz) travel less far and penetrate
building materials less well than lower frequency bands (like 700 MHz and 800 MHz). As a
result, higher frequency bands tend to be less “congested” - they have fewer users connected
to them, and data rates are often faster. This isn't always the case though, sometimes a lower
frequency band may have better data rates, depending on your location.
Newer phones have a feature called “carrier aggregation,” which means that they can connect
on multiple bands simultaneously to increase data rates.
The Cel-Fi GO G41 can boost up to 2 bands simultaneously. Depending on the signal
conditions in your area, there may be just 1 cellular band available, or up to 5. After you’ve
completed a provisional install, you can experiment with enabling specic frequency bands to
see if a particular combination gets you the best speed test results.
Unfortunately, FCC regulations don’t yet allow consumer signal boosters in the US to amplify
LTE band 30 (2300 MHz), band 41 (2500 MHz), or band 71 (600 MHz).
Okay, thanks for reading that!
We know that's a lot of information, but we promise it'll be helpful as you start your install. Our
goal is to get you strong, amplied signal and the best possible signal quality on the bands
that get you the best data rates. Let's get started!
Low Frequency Bands
More congested, lower data rates
Travel further, penetrate buildings
700 MHz (Bands 12, 13, 17)
850 MHz (Band 5)
1900 MHz (Band 2)
2100 MHz (Band 4, 66)
High Frequency Bands
Less congested, faster data rates
Travel less far, don’t penetrate buildings

First, connect your GO G41 to power, and download the Wave app to congure and monitor
your GO G41. You won't need any antennas during this step.
1Plug your GO G41 into a power outlet to power it on, don't connect any antennas just yet.
2Download the Wave app at waveform.com/waveapp
3Ensure bluetooth is enabled for your phone (or tablet). The
Wave App requires a bluetooth connection to your GO G41 for
it's conguration and monitoring.
4Open the app with your phone near the GO G41 and select
"I don't need help" to start pairing. Don't worry! We'll walk you
through every step of the installation in this manual.
It may take a few minutes for the GO G41 to connect.
5Once connected, select your operator (i.e. carrier) and press
continue. You can leave all other options unchanged.
For AT&T customers, choose “AT&T LTE Preferred” to ensure that
your GO G41 boosts as many LTE bands as possible.
If you need to boost a different carrier at a later date, go to “Settings” then “Operator”.
Changing carriers takes a few minutes - don’t turn off your booster or move your phone away
during the process.
Wave App and Carrier Selection
03
Troubleshooting Wave App Pairing:
• Only one device (e.g. your phone or tablet) can connect to the GO G41 via Bluetooth at a time to
congure and monitor your GO G41.
• If the Wave app is unable to connect to your device, rst try force-closing the app.
• In Android, this is done by going to your phone’s Settings, choosing the “Apps” option, nding
the Wave app, and then choosing the “Force Stop” option.
• For iOS, you can read here about how to force-close apps:
waveform.com/fcios
• If force-closing the app doesn’t help, restart your phone and power cycle the GO G41 by unplugging
the power adapter.

Understand How The GO G41 Works
04
The GO G41 “Searches” For Signal
Unlike other boosters, the GO G41 doesn’t blindly amplify every frequency. Instead, it searches
for, and then amplies, the best signal available for your carrier.
At any given time, the GO G41 can amplify up to two frequency bands.
Once you've connected antennas to the GO G41, you can watch in the “Activity” tab of the
Wave app as it scans the frequencies on different bands to nd the best signal to amplify.
Anytime you power-cycle the GO G41, change the band settings, or change the operator, it
will restart scanning to nd the best signal. The GO G41 starts scanning as soon as you unplug
the outdoor antenna cable. To make sure it scans all frequencies, restart the GO G41 anytime
you disconnect and then reconnect the outdoor antenna.
Status Lights
The small light on the GO G41 ashes to indicate its current status.
Blinking Red & Green:
The GO G41 is performing its start-up sequence.
Blinking Green:
The GO G41 is scanning for networks to boost.
Solid Green:
The GO G41 has found the best band and is now amplifying service.
Blinking or Solid Red:
The unit is in an error condition. Use the Wave App to check for the Error
Condition Code. Call us for assistance.
Boot-up Sequence
After being plugged in, the GO G41 status light will start blinking red and green, then move
on to blinking green as it starts scanning the cellular frequency bands. Make sure the outdoor
antenna is connected to the port before powering on so the GO G41 can nd signal.
Finally, once the GO G41 has found a signal to boost, the status light will switch to solid green.

10
Finding the best location for the outdoor antenna is the most important part of the install. In
this section, we explain the simplest method for positioning and aiming. Section 12 covers
some more advanced information you can use to optimize your signal further. If you've got the
upgraded Grid Parabolic Antenna, refer to section 13 for how to aim it.
The Goal
Your aim is to nd the best location and direction for the outdoor antenna that maximizes
signal strength and in particular, signal quality, for the frequency bands available in your area.
Set up the GO G41 as a Signal Meter
If you have a long power extension cable, we
recommend taking the GO G41 outside with you
and using the 5 ft cable and Log Periodic Antenna
in the kit to set up the GO G41 as “signal meter.”
Here are all the parts you’ll be using:
Don’t have a long power extension cable? Keep the GO G41 indoors near a power socket,
and use the 30 ft coax cable included in the kit to take the outdoor antenna outside.
Everything will be the same as the diagram above, except you'll use the 30 ft coax cable
instead of the 5 ft jumper.
Finding the best outdoor antenna location without a power extension cable is a little bit
harder. You won’t easily be able to stay connected to the GO G41 via Bluetooth, so you may
need a second person near the booster watching the Wave app as you take signal readings.

Using the Antenna Position Test
The Wave app has a special “Antenna Position Test” that you can
nd in “Antenna Positioning” under the “Settings” tab.
Wait for the booster to display a solid green LED before
proceeding with the antenna position test. With each location
and direction you try, you can “Capture” results. Tests take about a
minute each. Ideally, we want to nd a location with a score that is
as high as possible.
The scores are completely relative to one another so there isn't
a specic value to aim for, just nd the best score you can. It will
take some work, but it's always worth it to test as many locations as
possible, to optimize for the very best signal.
Don't be surprised if your antenna position score goes down later
on when you connect your indoor antenna(s). That's normal!
How to Position & Aim
Finding the right outdoor antenna location and direction takes some patience, but it’s
absolutely worth it. Spending time to get it right will have a big impact on your system’s
performance.
Here are all the locations and directions we recommend testing your outdoor antenna:
How come we don’t recommend just using the highest point on the roof? It’s simple: while
signal strength is generally higher on the roof, signal quality is often better on the side of the
building.

12
In Section 2 of the manual (go back and read it if you haven’t!) we explained that low signal
quality happens because of “intra-cell interference.”
The best way to improve signal quality is to “shield” the outdoor antenna from any other
towers in the area, by putting it on the side of the building.
When the signal quality outdoors is low, the goal is to shield the outdoor antenna to reduce
the signal from other nearby towers:
For some people, the top of their roof (where signal is the strongest) provides the best signal.
For others, it’s the side of the house. The only way to nd which is best is to test.
Set up a Temporary Install
06
Once you’ve found the best outdoor antenna location according to the Antenna Position Test,
it’s time to temporarily secure the outdoor antenna and set up a “temporary install.”
The following 4 pages explain choosing the right indoor antennas, antenna separation, and
how to assemble your GO G41. Read them before you start.
We recommend securing the outdoor antenna temporarily, and running coax indoors
through a window or a door without drilling any holes. Once you’ve done that, you can test
your coverage and data rates. If everything is looking good, you can drill holes, install your
antennas, and switch to a permanent install.
If you’re having signal issues with your temporary setup, or aren’t happy with the performance,
simply call us at [phone], email [email protected], or book a meeting with our
dedicated support team at waveform.com/meet
We’re available from 9am-5pm PT, Monday to Friday. We’ll be happy to help assist - we can
often suggest an easy solution to most problems.

13
Indoor Antennas: Types & Placement
07
Before choosing a location for your indoor antennas, you’ll need to understand how your
indoor antennas broadcast signal. You'll have both dome and panel antennas included in the
box, so that you can install whichever will work best for your space.
Panel Antennas
A panel antenna has a narrower “spray” (technically called a “beamwidth”). This means that it
directs signal in one direction, and not in a circle, like a dome antenna. Panel antennas should
be installed on a wall near the perimeter of the coverage area for best results. For example,
you might use a panel at the end of the hallway or at one end of your house.
Dome Antennas
Dome antennas should be installed in the ceiling, centrally to the area you are looking to
cover. Some (but less) signal will also radiate upwards to cover the oor above. You’ll need to
have access to an attic or crawl space to run the cable.

14
Indoor Antennas: Separation
08
Antenna separation is critical to installing your indoor antennas.
If you don’t have enough separation, the Cel-Fi GO G41 will throttle its gain (amplication)
to avoid “oscillation.” Oscillation is a type of feedback that occurs if the gain of the system is
higher than the “RF separation” between the indoor and outdoor antennas.
You can improve your separation by moving your indoor antennas. Keep your outdoor
antenna in the location with the best signal. If you have more than one indoor antenna, the
total separation is determined by whichever antenna is closest the outdoor antenna.
How to Tell If You Have Enough Separation
The Wave app shows your status on the Home tab and a
gauge on the Activity tab for antenna separation.
Ideally, you'll want "Excellent" separation with a fully green
gauge for each “Boosting” band. In small buildings this
might not be possible - just do the best you can.
If you need to improve your antenna seperation, refer to
section 12 for more information.
Example of Poor Separation
Not enough vertical and/or horizontal
separation between outdoor and indoor
antenna.
Not enough building materials between
indoor and outdoor antenna.
Example of Good Separation
Plenty of vertical and/or horizontal
separation.
Outdoor antenna pointing away from
indoor antenna.
Multiple layers of building materials
between antennas.

Getting the parts set up
Refer to the diagram to the right as needed
1. Connect the two SMA Pigtail cable adapters to the Cel-Fi GO G41 amplier.
2. Note the two icons by the Cel-Fi GO G41’s two SMA antenna ports:
This port should be plugged into the indoor antenna(s).
This port should be connected to the outdoor antenna.
3. Connect the RS400 cables to the SMA pigtail adapters and hand-tighten them.
4. If you have a kit with 2x, 3x, or 4x indoor antennas, connect your splitter to the indoor
antenna end of the booster using the 1 ft jumper.
5. Connect the 30 ft cable(s) and panel/dome indoor antenna(s) to your splitter or directly to
the indoor antenna port of your Cel-Fi GO G41 and hand-tighten the connectors.
6. Connect the Outdoor Antenna to the 5 ft RS200 cable, Lightning Surge Protector, and
RS400 cable. Instructions on grounding are in the next section of the manual and can also
be found online at waveform.com/surge-protector
7. Connect the Cel-Fi GO G41 power supply and plug it into the booster.

Once you’re done setting up your temporary install, it’s time to test the performance.
If you mostly care about voice calls, simply place a call and walk around your home. If data
rates are your primary concern, we recommend testing with our favorite speed test app
(“Speedtest by Ookla”) which you can download from waveform.com/speedtest.
If you’re using a hotspot, simply connect to it before performing your tests.
If everything is working well, you can start drilling holes for your permanent install.
If you’re not happy with the results, don’t panic! We can help you gure it out. Call (800) 761-
3041, email [email protected], or book a meeting with our dedicated support team at
waveform.com/meet. We're generally available from 9am-5pm PT, Monday to Friday, and we
can help you optimize your setup.
A Quick Note on Surge Protection & Grounding
It’s critical to ground your outdoor antenna and UltraPole kit along with your surge protector,
since their metal components make them prime targets for lightning strikes. Also, grounding a
mounting pole, such as your UltraPole, is required by the National Electric Code (NEC).
The lightning surge protection kit included with your GO G41 kit contains a short length of
grounding cable, but an additional grounding cable may need to be purchased to reach a
suitable electrical ground for your system. Grounding cables are available at most hardware
stores, and we recommend using 10 AWG or lower gauge (thicker) grounding cables.
To properly ground your lightning surge protector kit and UltraPole mount, please refer to
their included manuals, or view the manuals online at waveform.com/surge-protector and
waveform.com/ultrapole. The surge protector should ideally be installed just before the
coaxial cable enters your home.
You can nd more detailed instructions on how to properly ground your system and examples
of suitable electrical grounds at waveform.com/grounding
Weatherproong Outdoor Connections
We strongly recommend wrapping all outdoor N-type connections with stretch-and-seal self-
fusing silicone rubber tape (available from most hardware stores). N-type connectors are
outdoor-rated, but water can still sometimes get in and causes a lot of issues.
Test & Install Permanently

In many areas, the GO G41 will only nd a single band to boost. You can see this under the
Activity tab: one of the GO G41’s radios will say Boosting and the other will remain Scanning. If
that’s the case, there’s only a single band available for the GO G41 to amplify.
However, in some areas, your GO G41 may nd two bands. If that’s the case, you may be able
to optimize your data rates by manually testing different bands.
Here are the steps we recommend following:
1. Discover all available bands
There may actually be more than 2 bands available outdoors. The GO G41 will attempt to
boost the best two available, but sometimes data rates may be better on other bands. If you
manually disable the rst two bands that the GO G41 has selected, you can force the GO G41
to scan and show you what other bands are available.
2. Test each band individually, then together
When your phone detects multiple bands, it will attempt to “carrier aggregate” and connect on
multiple bands simultaneously. Unfortunately, carrier aggregation isn’t perfect - sometimes it
works well, but in other cases, it can actually decrease your data rates.
To get the absolutely best data rates, you can try running speed
tests with the GO G41 amplifying each band individually, and
then testing different combinations of bands.
How to disable and enable bands
You can disable and enable bands under the “Band & Channel
Settings” dropdown in the settings tab of the Wave app.
Each time you enable or disable a band, the GO G41 will rescan
to nd signal. It can take a minute or two until the GO G41 nds
and starts boosting signal again.
After the GO G41 starts amplifying a new band, toggle on
airplane mode on your phone for a few moments, then turn
it off again. This will force your phone to connect to the newly
boosted band before you run a speed test.

The “Activity” Tab

One of the best features of the GO G41 is that it actively listens and decodes the cellular
signals before amplifying. You can nd out more about the system's status at any given
moment in the “Activity” tab.
The most important information is summarized at the
top of the screen, under the "Overview" section. The
information here is divided into two "radios" – the GO
G41's two radios are what allow it to amplify up to
two bands simultaneously.
For each radio, the activity tab tells you if it is
"scanning," or if it has found a signal and started
"boosting." When the radio is scanning, you'll notice
that the frequency changes often. Once it's boosting,
the frequency will no longer change.
Once the GO G41 is boosting on one of the radios,
the Wave app will show a gauge for signal quality,
signal strength, and antenna separation.
Signal quality and signal strength are determined
by your outdoor antenna’s location and direction.
Antenna separation is determined by the separation
between the indoor antennas from to the outdoor
antenna.
The goal during installation is to get all gauges fully
green. But sometimes, despite your best efforts,
these gauges may remain red or yellow. That's okay,
just try to ll the gauges as much as possible.
