Abstract
A relatively low cost, easy to install and aesthetically pleasing cellular signal enhancer, also known as a wireless repeater, suitable for use in a home or business. The device includes a removable mounting pedestal that can be plugged into both an upper and a lower receptacle on a signal enhancer unit. This allows the signal enhancer unit to be installed with the same upright orientation when installed on an upper or a lower support surface, for example the bottom or top casing of a window frame. The mounting pedestal includes a power plug so that the mounting pedestal is removable and can be plugged into the upper or lower receptacles on the signal enhancer unit. Alternatively, the unit may include an orientation detector and an invertible display that inverts the symbols shown on the display in response to the detected orientation of the signal enhancer unit.
