Alpilles Premium ServicesWi-Fi down in a mas in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence: which causes to consider before acting?
A Wi-Fi network that weakens from one room to the next or disappears completely in a mas in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence rarely has a single cause. Before replacing any equipment, several things are worth checking to identify the real source of the problem.

Why can the stone walls of a mas weaken the Wi-Fi signal?
Provençal mas, with their thick stone walls, block part of the signal from one room to another. A single router placed at one end of the building often explains the poorly covered areas reported by occupants.
Can badly positioned equipment explain poorly covered areas?
A router installed in a plant room, a storeroom or near electrical appliances may see its range reduced. Where the equipment is placed matters as much as its advertised power.
Can a dropout or slowdown come from the external network?
Before looking for an internal cause, a drop in speed or a complete outage is worth checking with the internet service provider, especially on lines serving isolated or remote properties.
Can an extension or a renovation carried out in stages create poorly covered areas?
An extension, an outbuilding converted into living space or a renovation carried out in successive phases can leave part of the property without any overall network planning, with uneven results from room to room.
To guide the diagnosis, several things are worth observing:
- the rooms or areas affected by the loss of signal;
- when the problem started;
- the devices affected;
- any recent work or change of equipment.
When should you call in a professional for a persistent network problem?
When several of these causes combine, or for a property where the connection must remain reliable at all times (video surveillance, connected alarm), a professional diagnosis makes it possible to propose a solution suited to the actual layout of the building.
