WiFi for coastal and multi-level San Diego homes

Hillside split-levels, beach cottages, patios and salt air: how to get WiFi everywhere.

Common problems

  • Split-level and hillside homes: floors and retaining walls block signal.
  • Salt air and sun corrode and overheat gear left outside.
  • Older beach cottages may lack Ethernet wiring.

Fixes

  1. Use mesh with one unit per floor: Deco XE75, Netgear Orbi.
  2. For patios, use outdoor-rated units like Deco X50-Outdoor and mount them under eaves.
  3. If there's no Ethernet, wireless mesh backhaul or powerline adapters can link floors.
  4. Replace routers older than about five years.
