Slow Wi-Fi at home? 5 objects to avoid and a (perfect) location

The ‘anti Wi-Fi’ objects

The first of the ‘anti Wi-Fi’ objects is often found in the kitchen. The microwave oven it is the ‘enemy’ of the home router, as its magnetic waves operate on the same frequency as Wi-Fi. The same goes for devices like i baby monitor and some instruments that use Bluetooth, such as speakers or speakers. You should also avoid placing the router near thick walls, metal surfaces, or large devices such as televisions o refrigerators which may block or interfere with the signal.

Another object that could slow down the Wi-Fi operation is a cordless telephone. Often this device, just like the microwave oven, operates on the same frequencies as the router, and therefore there is a strong risk that it could compromise its functioning. The advice is therefore to place it far away or to make sure, when purchasing, that the frequencies are different.

The best location for Wi-Fi

Another practical, and very useful, tip is to place the Wi-Fi in a open and preferably elevated place in the houseon another level compared to the rest of the home electronic devices. To enjoy all its features, you should think of the router as if it were a lamp capable of illuminating the whole house and place it in a place that can facilitate the diffusion of the signal in all the rooms.
