Claim:
A combined gateway for a fixed wireless network, the combined gateway comprising: a structure mounted to a customer premises; a satellite antenna mechanically coupled to the structure; and an outdoor broadband unit: mechanically coupled to the structure via an adjustable extension arm, connected to the satellite antenna via a first communication link, and connected to customer premises equipment via a second communication link, where adjustment of the extension arm permits movement of the outdoor broadband unit relative to a position of the satellite antenna and the extension arm is a support structure for the outdoor broadband unit and is not part of the satellite antenna, where the outdoor broadband unit further includes a light emitting diode (LED) to: emit a first color of light when signals received by the outdoor broadband unit are of a first quality, emit a second color of light when signals received by the outdoor broadband unit are of a second quality, and emit a third color of light when signals received by the outdoor broadband unit are of a third quality; and where the combined gateway is further configured to: allow an installer to adjust the orientation/position of the outdoor broadband unit based on the color of the light of the LED to maximize the quality of radio frequency (RF) link from the fixed wireless network without power cycling the outdoor broadband unit and without having to use additional equipment.
