Exterior walls, bricks, stucco, windows with metal lining, as well as distance, are the factors that decrease the power of the signal before reaching your deck. The problem is obvious: buffering video on the patio TV, a non-operating security camera, or video chat that freezes right after stepping outside.

In case your system is Orbi Mesh, the process involves adding additional satellites or any other compatible gear in the area where you need access.<\/p>\n<p>The satellite connects to the existing network, and thus your phone, computer, or any other device connects to both indoors and outdoors without the need to connect to a different network or enter a different password. The whole system works on one network name and network settings.<\/p>\n<p>Before you buy, verify that any add-on satellite is compatible with your existing Orbi model. Orbi satellites are designed to work within specific product families, so a satellite from one series may not pair with a router from another.

For many people, the easiest way is just installing another Orbi satellite that will complement the system that you currently have. In case you still have an older system, then you might want to consider getting a new one.<\/p>\n<h3>Adding Orbi Satellites for Expanded Coverage<\/h3>\n<p>If you have good coverage in the interior rooms of your house with Orbi, but there is no coverage outdoors, then getting a satellite might be the fastest way for you. The best place where you can install the satellite is either inside the house close to the patio or on the exterior walls facing the yard area. Install an Orbi satellite that matches your current setup.<\/p>\n<h3>Choosing the Right System Based on Property Size<\/h3>\n<p>The size of your property will dictate the number of points of coverage that you should install. A small home with a small patio will do well with simply having a properly located router with an accompanying satellite, whereas a larger property with a detached garage or pool house might require you to have extra satellites that will be installed in the direction of these structures. If you are unsure of what to do, our guide to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wifi\/routers\/which-netgear-router-should-i-buy\/\"> choosing a NETGEAR router<\/a> walks through the options.<\/p>\n<h3>Whole-Home WiFi 7 Mesh System Options<\/h3>\n<p>When you choose to replace an old router or a first-generation mesh system, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wifi\/mesh\/orbi-buyers-guide\/\">whole-home WiFi 7 mesh<\/a> system will offer you an entirely new base for your modern and device-filled home.

In most cases, the goal is to get a coverage point as close to the outdoor area as practical, with as few obstructions as possible between it and the space you want to cover.<\/p>\n<h3>Router and Satellite Placement Considerations<\/h3>\n<p>Place a satellite roughly between your router and the outdoor area, in a spot where it still receives a strong connection from the router. A room with a window or glass door facing the backyard is often a good choice. Placing a satellite too far from the router can weaken its own connection, which reduces the performance it passes along outside. For more detail, see how to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wifi\/routers\/best-wifi-router-location\/\"> improve router placement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Reducing Obstacles and Interference<\/h3>\n<p>Walls composed of materials such as brick, concrete, or stone reduce signals more than drywall or wooden walls. Large pieces of furniture, mirrors, fish tanks, and metal cabinets may also cause barriers. It is also necessary to avoid keeping the satellites on the floor, inside cabinets, and close to other devices that create interference.<\/p>\n<h3>Maximizing Outdoor Signal Reach<\/h3>\n<p>Indoor devices placed near an outdoor-facing point of the house and outdoor devices are two different things. The majority of Orbi satellites are made for indoor use, and putting an indoor-rated device near a patio door or window is the best way to extend coverage outdoors. Put the equipment outside only when that particular model is made, rated, and compatible with the outdoor installation because the indoor equipment exposed to rain, sun, humidity, or freezing conditions will be damaged. For the full playbook, our tips to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wifi\/routers\/best-wifi-router-location\/\"> optimize WiFi coverage<\/a> cover placement in more depth.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n        <div id=\"topic5\" class=\"skip-item\">\n                        <h2>Real-World Outdoor WiFi Benefits<\/h2>\n                <p>Each outdoor activity depends on a different part of your network\u2019s performance. Understanding which one matters helps you choose the right fix.<\/p>\n<h3>Backyard Streaming<\/h3>\n<p>Streaming a game or movie on an outdoor TV depends mostly on coverage and stability. A consistent signal at the viewing spot prevents buffering and drops in picture quality, which is why placing a satellite on the side of the home nearest the screen makes such a difference.<\/p>\n<h3>Outdoor Gatherings<\/h3>\n<p>As soon as people come in, many devices will connect at once. Parties and cookouts put device density to the test, and therefore, your network should have sufficient bandwidth close to the patio to accommodate multiple connections without compromising performance.<\/p>\n<h3>Smart Security Cameras<\/h3>\n<p>The cameras are typically installed on the outskirts of the property, on eaves, fences, and garages, which means that they need sufficient coverage and a reliable connection to be able to transmit video without interruptions. The upkeep of the connected devices is important too, and the FTC provides tips on<a href=\"https:\/\/consumer.ftc.gov\/articles\/securing-your-internet-connected-devices-home\"> securing internet-connected devices at home<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Pool Equipment Connectivity<\/h3>\n<p>Pool pumps, heaters, and automation controllers often sit in equipment areas far from the house. They depend on placement, since getting a coverage point close enough to reach them reliably is usually the deciding factor.<\/p>\n<h3>Remote Work Outdoors<\/h3>\n<p>Remote work from the deck or backyard office is primarily dependent on reliability. Since video conferencing and cloud applications are extremely sensitive to any lapse in internet connectivity, one must have a reliable internet connection for the outdoor office space.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/home\/wifi\/mesh\/find-my-orbi\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-16781\" style=\"border-radius: 20px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/find-your-orbi-2025-1024x249.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/find-your-orbi-2025-1024x249.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/find-your-orbi-2025-300x73.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/find-your-orbi-2025-768x187.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/find-your-orbi-2025.jpg 1129w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n    <\/div>\n        <div id=\"topic6\" class=\"skip-item\">\n                        <h2>Frequently Asked Questions About Outdoor Mesh WiFi<\/h2>\n                <div class=\"toggle-area 123\">\n        <div class=\"toggle-cont-area\">\n                <h5>How can I extend WiFi coverage to my backyard?<\/h5>\n                <div class=\"toggle-cont\">\n            <p>To use WiFi outside in the backyard, you can move equipment closer to the walls of the house that face the backyard, remove any significant obstacles, and add a WiFi mesh satellite compatible with your current system if needed.
