Things That Affect Wireless Router Signals
1. Many wireless routers are using the same wireless
channel. Many manufacturers choose channel 6 as the default. Change to another
channel.
2. Analogue video senders used to send audio and video to
other TVs in the home.
3. Microwave ovens emit interference in the 2.4GHz band.
4. Wireless speakers and console controllers can cause
interference with the wireless router.
5. Bluetooth devices, newer Bluetooth devices can jump to
different frequencies if there is a connection problem.
6. Power cables located near the wireless router can cause
dropouts and speed reduction.
7. Fish tanks and mirrors will cause massive Wi-Fi shadow on
the other side of the tank from the wireless router.
8. Depending upon the location of large mirrors will reflect
wireless signal away your computer.
9. Building materials will block wireless signals such as
plasterboards with metal foil, reinforced concrete walls and floors. Also
objects near the wireless router such as metal filing cabinets and other
electrical appliances.
10. Blinking Christmas lights can reduce Wi-Fi performance
by 25% when it is close to the wireless router.
Testimonial: "As I've said it struggles to even find the router when sitting on top of it and someone sitting next to me on another laptop in the house can connect without any problem and pick up signals from adjacent properties"
