WiFi doesn't reach certain rooms in your home
Dead zones happen when walls between the router and those rooms block the signal. In South Florida homes with concrete block walls, this is common. You can fix it by moving the router closer, adding a coverage device in the right spot, or running a wired connection to that area.
WiFi signal weakens every time it passes through a wall. In concrete block homes, this effect is much stronger than in wood frame homes. When the signal gets weak enough, entire rooms stop working. The fix is either repositioning your router toward the dead zone, adding a coverage device at the right location, or using a wired connection for devices in that room.
- ✓Walk through your home with your phone and note where the signal bars drop
- ✓Count the concrete walls between your router and the dead zones
- ✓Try moving the router 10 to 15 feet toward the dead zone and test again

Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Placing an extender inside the dead zone itself. It needs strong signal to amplify
- Assuming the router is broken when other rooms work fine. Dead zones are about walls, not router failure
- Adding a second router in the room without understanding bridge mode. This creates network problems worse than the dead zone
