I have 3 floors and a roof deck.
Floor 1: kitchen + living room. Floor 2: home office + bedroom. Floor 3: bedrooms 2 & 3
I have Verizon Fios internet and use the Orbi AX600 (RBK852). The router is located on floor 2. Satellites are located on floor 1 and 3. I have excellent coverage and fast speeds absolutely everywhere in the home.
But I cannot get any WiFi signal on the roof. I’m looking for advice on the best things to try to extend signal to my roof.
I have tried moving the satellite on 3rd floor satellite to top of the stairs to the roof - Inside, at the top of the stairs to the roof, WiFi is fast and strong. On the roof - on the other side of the door - I get no signal at all. But if I crack the door open, the signal extends to the roof.
So far the best solution I can come up with is to put the satellite at the top of the steps and leave the door open. But this isn’t optimal and would like to find a better solution.
Thank you for your thoughts!
