There is chicken wire under the stucco. The Gateway will be near a
window, which is not too far from the router. William's experience is
encouraging. If it doesn't work, we will run a CAT 5.

Drake; How much chicken wire or other metal mesh is in the strawbale walls
and stucco? Can you measure wifi signal strength ahead of time with a
smartphone? Is it possible to hardwire Cat5 from the homeowner's
router/extender/etc to the WAN port of the IQ Gateway? That is always
preferable to wifi.
We are planning to combine Enphase circuits in an IQ combiner box, with
enclosed Gateway, on the outside of a straw bale house.
Will the WiFi signal penetrate a straw bale and the two layers of stucco
the wall is made of?
Thank you,
Drake
