WiFi weak outside

I’m trying to set up exterior cameras attached to my house but the WiFi signal is too weak.

The WiFi signal in my garage is also too weak to update my car’s software.

I have an older Gateway

Arris Model TG1682G

dual band 802.11ac

Any suggestions would be most appreciated! Thx!

@user_3f096f Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us here on our Xfinity Forums! It may be that you need a Wi-Fi extender to reach the garage and the outdoor cameras if they are too far from the modem. We do offer xFi Pods that create a mesh Wi-Fi. You can learn more about them here: https://www.xfinity.com/learn/internet-service/wifi/xfi-pod

You may also be due a modem upgrade, which I'm happy to help you get a new modem shipped out. If you'd like to explore that option just send us a DM to Xfinity Support with your full name and address to get started.
