Metal negatively affects your WiFi signal.

It’s easy to move some metal objects, but you may not know which objects contain metal.

Your router emits radio waves and they are electromagnetic.

This means metal can absorb them and reduce the strength of your WiFi.

Even mirrors are culprits when it comes to absorbing radio waves.

Large wall mirrors can affect connectivity because the mirror is made of a thin metal layer that can cause hub interference.

BLUETOOTH SPEAKER

Bluetooth speakers also interfere with your WiFi signal.

The signals they send out are interfering and can affect the speed of your router.

If you have speakers or a sound system near your router, consider rearranging your devices.

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth use similar radio frequencies, so both can experience interference.

VACUUM

Using your vacuum near your WiFi router can affect your speed.

This does not happen all the time and can depend on where you are cleaning.

Certain disturbances are possible due to the electric motor in the vacuum and the radiation it emits.

When you turn off the vacuum, the speed should return to normal.
