Not only humans are getting scorched by the scorching heat, but complaints of overheating in appliances are also increasing. Nothing seems better than WiFi in terms of internet speed. Broadband connection offers strong speed and unlimited data. But broadband users are facing many problems due to the heat. Actually, due to the scorching heat, there is a problem in the WiFi connection, and the speed is also getting affected. In such a situation, it is important to take special care of the WiFi router in the summer. If you do not keep your WiFi router cool, it can cause many problems.
When routers get too hot, they slow down, and can disconnect devices from the internet, leading to slower internet speeds and delays during video or audio playback.
If the router heats up too much, it can cause problems with all wireless connectivity and all connected devices can get disconnected. So let’s know how to keep it cool and take care of it in the summer.
1. Make sure there is adequate air circulation around the router. Avoid placing the router behind furniture or in enclosed spaces such as cabinets. It is best to place it on a shelf or stand that does not block the vents on the sides or bottom of the router and allows air to pass through.
2. Keep the router away from direct sunlight and avoid covering its vents with things like books, paper or cloth.
3. Avoid placing your WiFi router near other electronic devices like computer, TV, microwave etc. as other appliances also generate heat which can cause the router to overheat.
4. Keep your router in a well-ventilated area where there is air circulation and if it is getting too hot, you can use a table fan to help cool it down.
5. Try to turn off the WiFi modem when the work is not done, so that it also gets a chance to cool down in this heat. If the router remains cool, it will be able to provide good speed.
