The reason is not always in the provider or old equipment & mdash; Sometimes it is worth looking for in the microwave.
< p > may seem strange how soup can be affected by the Internet. But everything is simple: both microwave and Wi-Fi operate at a frequency of 2.4 GHz. If you turn on the microwave, especially the old or damaged door seal, it creates electromagnetic interference that can block the router signal. It looks like two people who scream at the same room at the same time and nobody hears.
< p >If the router is in the kitchen or in the neighboring room, the & Rsquo; the pitch can be very bad. It is easy to check: make a video call and turn on the microwave. If the image is hanging or voice begins to interrupt, the problem is detected.
< p > microwave oven & mdash; Not the only culprit. Wireless phones, radio and bluetooth columns also operate at the same frequency of 2.4 GHz. Even the neighbor's Wi-Fi may interfere with yours if both routers work on the same channels.
< p > To solve this problem, go to the router's setting through the browser (the address is usually indicated on the case), find the section & laquo; wireless network & raquo; and change the channel to less loaded. Modern routers often have the function of automatic choice of channel & mdash; Use it.

< p > Avoid placing the router next to metal objects or mirrors & mdash; They display a signal. If the tips have not helped, try switching to 5 GHz. It is less prone to obstacles although it has a smaller action radius.
< P > Use a Lan Cabel to unload Wi-Fi for stationary devices. And don't forget to update the router firmware for stability.
