What Causes Problems With Your Wi-Fi Setup And How It Can Be Fixed?
Here come the holidays! Vicious lines, manic carolers and crazy traffic reign in this the most wonderful time of the year. You finally think you are safe from the chaos as you get home and have a chance to relax with your computer or phone, the most grievous of transgressions occur - your device has no bars! What would have caused this, and how can it be fixed? We hate to be the bearer of bad news but the holiday season hates your Wi-Fi network. Fairy lights, despite their cheerful appearance, can cause problems with your Wi-Fi. Wireless networks are significantly weaker than other types of longer distance broadcasts, making them more susceptible to interference from otherwise harmless sources. When not set up properly, any number of things can hamper a solid connection speed, from lamps to baby monitors. These issues are year-round problems that can often be overlooked as few people are running all their devices constantly. Even if your microwave slows your Wi-Fi, it’s unlikely you noticed since the slow down would be temporary and you were rewarded for your patience with food. Fairy lights, however, run for more prolonged periods of time. Their unshielded wires aren’t insulated and therefore don’t protect radio-based devices. Combine that with an entire neighborhood of lights and smartphone wielding relatives and your Wi-Fi network may have a problem!
Fortunately, many other decorations are completely harmless. If you put up a tree in your home, it will have no effect on your modem’s speed. Thank goodness!
