I had the exact same problem. I live in a block and stucco house. Wi-Fi OK until I went on the lanai. Then I lost signal strength. I think the block wall and maybe the glass sliding door blocked the signal. I bought a repeater, as suggested by another poster. Problem, mostly solved. The signal is much stronger on the lanai, but if I sit too much to the side of the lanai (the area most behind the block part of the wall), the signal is not quite as good as sitting more toward the center of the lanai (the area blocked only by the glass sliding door). The repeater helped a whole bunch.
