Suddenly lost your Wi-Fi connection at home during an important call? If you find yourself losing your internet connection in certain areas of your house, it’s likely due to a Wi-Fi dead spot.
What are Wi-Fi Dead Spots and How Do I Pinpoint Them?
A Wi-Fi dead spot is an area in your home or office that should have Wi-Fi but doesn't.
It isn't difficult to figure out which parts of your home are affected. All you need to do is connect your phone or laptop to the Wi-Fi network and walk around, monitoring how strong your connection is. When the signal strength, as indicated by the Wi-Fi bars, begins to weaken, slow down and take note where it cuts off. You've found your Wi-Fi dead spot. What can you do once you've found it?
What Causes Wi-Fi Dead Spots?
First, we need to understand what creates these Wi-Fi dead spot zones. Here are some things that can affect Wi-Fi connectivity, leading to the creation of a Wi-Fi dead spot:
– Physical barriers such as walls
– Large metal objects, including fridges and filing cabinets
– Distance from the router
– Metal wiring inside walls
Long story short, anything that may interfere with Wi-Fi radio waves can negatively impact Wi-Fi signal strength.
