Some people suffer from weakness internet speed In their homes despite their participation in high-cost packages, what are the reasons? The blog, “Life Hacker”, said that there are “a lot of obstacles around your home, which can limit your Wi-Fi capabilities,” according to a Sky News Arabia report.
Some believe that “Wi-Fi” is the Internet itself, but this is not true, as it is radio waves, which allow your devices to connect to your “ROuter”, which in turn connects to the Internet.
1- Home: If the internet speed is weak, your home may be to blame, if it is located on a public street, where your Wi-Fi signals will find it difficult to pass through walls, concrete floors and steel nails.
2- Household appliances: Experts say that the appliances in the kitchen, such as the dishwasher, refrigerator and oven, are all “large metal boxes,” and it is known that “Wi-Fi” does not interact well with metals.
And if radio signals pass through your kitchen, household appliances may affect the strength of your internet.
3- TV: A flat-screen TV is a huge metal plate, and therefore it may be a device to block Wi-Fi signals from the rest of the rooms in your house, the same applies to mirrors.
4- Old technology: For example, Bluetooth devices may affect your Wi-Fi network, given that this type of device was designed in a past period and did not take into account modern technology.
In conclusion, the “Life Hacker” blog advised to put your router in an open place as much as possible, so that it is not obstructed by metal hardware or any of the aforementioned obstacles.
