Faceing the tower

I have a Sagemcomm FAST 5688W, should i have one side of the gateway point to a tower or doesn’t make a difference?

    @Mrgolf, first off, I love your handle. The Sagemcomm has a vertical antenna installed at each of the four corners. Rotating the device about 1/8th of a turn can better align the 5G antenna with your tower. Most people have opened their TM app to watch their metrics and see where they improve the most as they rotate the device. On your T-Life app, tap on the Home Internet (device) link, > "More" > Advanced Cellular Metrics and focus on the 5G metrics. 

    Here is a chart of the 5G metrics to watch.
