IPHey! Christmas is coming, ready to decorate the Christmas tree and other activities to spend this wonderful holiday?
A Christmas tree is a must-have for Christmas. But twinkling Christmas lights can affect WiFi speeds, according to new research from Ofcom, a British Telecommunications Regulator. Especially the decorative lights wrapped around the tree will obviously interfere with the WiFi signal because the frequency of the electronic equipment such as the transformer and rectifier of the Christmas lights is in the same frequency band as the 2.4GHz frequency band of the wireless router. It is easy to produce "co-channel interference", which will eventually lead to a decrease in WiFi speed.
Wanna decorate a Christmas tree at home, but don't want the poor WiFi signal to affect other Christmas activities, what can I do?
Don't worry, choose a dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) wireless router to avoid interference, and enjoy the wonderful Christmas time with your family.
