Two Things to Avoid Near Your Router

Many netizens have found that when using desktop computers at home, the Internet speed is very stable. However, once they use devices such as tablets or mobile phones that need to be connected wirelessly, the Internet speed becomes very unstable. Such instability will directly affect our normal use when we play games or watch videos. So, the editor here reminds everyone not to place these two things beside the router. Otherwise, the 200-megabit network speed will become "turtle speed". Tell your family quickly!

Since the desktop computer is directly connected to the network cable, as long as the network speed of the desktop computer is good, it proves that the broadband network speed is fine. However, if the wireless network is not ideal, the only problem lies with the router. The reason for slow Internet speed is not only related to the performance of the router, but also to the operating environment of the router. This point is often overlooked by most netizens. If these two things are hidden beside the router, it will greatly affect the operation effect of the router.

The first thing is metal. The working principle of a router is to convert broadband network signals into wireless network signals covering a certain range through the router. Smart devices such as mobile phones achieve network connection by receiving electromagnetic waves emitted by the router. If metal substances, such as metal rods or shelves, are placed beside the router, it will directly affect the range and effect of the electromagnetic waves released by the router. Such a signal condition will greatly affect the network speed of the device.

The second thing is electrical appliances. Beside the router, there is usually a computer. Some families also choose to place the router together with the TV set-top box on the TV cabinet. Another factor that affects the router's network speed is electrical appliances. If electrical appliances, especially those with high power, are placed beside the router, the signal quality released by the router will be affected by the radiation from the appliances. During this process, if the power of the router is not large enough, a large amount of loss will occur, which will directly lead to a decrease in the conversion efficiency of the router.

Even if the original broadband speed was relatively fast, after such wear and tear, the wireless speed of the mobile phone connection will be very unsatisfactory. Therefore, we still need to pay extra attention to the high-power electrical appliances around the router. So, when placing a router, in addition to considering its coverage and the convenience of wiring, we also need to take these two points into account. Otherwise, even if it is installed, the network speed of the router will seriously affect the user's daily use. If your router has such a problem, then solve it as soon as possible!
