Don't be foolish to place these things near the Wifi transmitter: It both wastes electricity and causes the network to flicker!

The location and objects around the transmitter can greatly affect the speed of Wifi in your home.

Router, also known as router, Wifi transmitter, is a device that allows users to share their Internet connection with computers, tablets, smartphones and other electronic devices in the home via WIFI. Once connected, these devices can access the network, serving different needs such as surfing the web, reading newspapers, watching movies, playing games or working.

Nowadays, the appearance of Wifi routers in homes is extremely essential. At least every family owns 1 router, some families with large areas or high-rise buildings can even own up to 2-3 routers. However, despite careful and thorough equipment and installation, if the user makes just one small mistake, it will cause the home network to flicker, weaken significantly, and at the same time waste electricity. The most common mistake is related to the location of the Wifi transmitter in general or specifically the items placed next to the device.

According to experts, below are the items that users should not place next to or near the Wifi transmitter.

1. Metal objects

First are metal utensils. These devices can block the network signal emitted from the Wifi transmitter, thereby causing users to feel that the network is weak or unstable, even indoors. For example, metal has the ability to block Wifi waves. Experts have given the case that when users enter a box elevator, network signals as well as phone signals will be significantly worse. This is also because the elevator's mostly metal structure blocks the signal and affects the transmission speed of the network.

Therefore, it is best for users to place their home Wifi transmitter away from objects made of metal.

2. Household appliances, electronic appliances

Second on the list of things that should not be placed near or next to the Wifi transmitter is household appliances and electronics. The reason is because these devices also produce electromagnetic waves. When placed near a Wifi transmitter, it will accidentally cause interference, thereby affecting network speed.

Wifi transmitters should not be placed near other electronic devices such as televisions, computers. (Illustration).

Microwaves are also on the list because this is a device that can cause Wifi interference. (Illustration).

The names of the devices on the list include computers, televisions, refrigerators, microwaves, speakers or cameras. In addition, when placing these devices for a long time near the transmitter Wifi can also cause the Wifi transmitter to fail faster, and at the same time the temperature of the devices will increase and become hotter, thereby posing a potential risk of wasting more electricity for users.

3. Mirrors, glassware

The mirror coating of mirrors or glass items can also be the "culprit" that causes the Wifi signal in the user's home to become unstable and unstable. That's why electronics experts advise that users should limit placing cups, water bottles or flower vases, fish tanks, mirrors. near the router.

4. Other Wifi transmitters

As mentioned above, many families own not only 1 but maybe 2-3 different Wifi transmitters. To achieve the best network broadcasting performance, users should avoid placing transmitters next to or too close to each other.

Many Wifi transmitters placed next to each other not only do not make the network stronger but are also counterproductive. (Illustration).

In addition, some indoor decorations, such as Christmas trees or smart light bulbs, Aman Bhatti - Director of SKY Network also emphasized to The Sun newspaper that these things will still cause interference and have harmful effects. may affect the signal transmission of the Wifi transmitter.

Besides avoiding placing the Wifi transmitter near the above items, to choose the most ideal location, users should also refer to the "30cm rule". Specifically, the Wifi router/Router should be placed at least 30cm away from obstacles such as walls, furniture or other electrical devices. It seems simple, but it will greatly improve network performance.
