Homes in Moraga

Moraga is mostly single-family housing from the decades just before and after the town incorporated in 1974. Rheem Valley Manor, about 400 households built in the late 1960s and early 1970s, is one example. Tract homes of that period usually have attics and attached garages, and many are two stories.

Larger subdivisions followed in the 1980s and 1990s, including Sanders Ranch and Moraga Country Club. The country club has smaller lots and a high percentage of attached housing, so shared walls are common there. Houses on hillside lots often stack living space on two or three levels. Saint Mary's College has had its campus here since 1928.

The Sacramento Northern Railway once ran through the valley, and Saint Mary's College moved here in 1928. Moraga Town, Rheem and Rheem Valley united and incorporated as one town in 1974.

What that means for your Wi-Fi

Two-story tract homes with one router downstairs

The connection usually enters at the garage or family room, and the upstairs bedrooms suffer. We take Cat6 through the attic to ceiling access points on the upper floor.

Shared walls around the country club

Attached homes limit where cable can go, since party walls are off limits. We work through the attic and interior walls, and use in-wall access points where a ceiling mount will not fit.

Decks and lower patios beyond the router

Decks and lower patios sit outside the reach of an indoor router. We mount an outdoor access point under the eave and wire it back to the network switch.

Questions about Wi-Fi in Moraga

Why is the Wi-Fi bad upstairs in my two-story Moraga home?

The connection usually enters at the garage or family room, so the router ends up downstairs and the bedrooms get what is left. If the house has an attic, we take Cat6 through it to ceiling access points on the upper floor.

Can you install wired access points in an attached Moraga Country Club home?

Yes, with some limits. Shared walls are off limits, so cable has to stay within your own attic and interior walls. Where a ceiling mount will not fit, we use in-wall access points, and we tune channels so your network avoids the neighbors'.

How do I get coverage on a deck or lower patio?

With an outdoor access point. Decks and lower patios on hillside lots sit beyond what an indoor router can reach. We mount a weatherproof unit under the eave and wire it back to the network switch, so it runs on the same wired network as the indoor ones.
