Due to that, placing the router in an inappropriate position such as: under the shelf, or in your concrete-walled basement, or somewhere that does not allow the wireless signals to spread well and equally around the house, high chances are that your connection gets slowed down or even blocked.
Most electronic devices and equipment, including the router, are not made to run continuously. Similar to PCs, smartphones, or others, modems and routers can sometimes get stuck in an overloaded, slow state. Outdated routers may also lead to issues with your WiFi connectivity and slow down your internet connection. Older routers, in fact, run old wireless standards.
As a result, they may not be able to support fast signals. As transmitted through the air, WiFi signal strength tends to be highly prone to various factors. When it comes to mobility and flexibility, WiFi connectivity outweighs wired one. But speaking of consistency, stability, and speed, the wired connection cable internet seems to be more advantageous. Therefore, connecting to WiFi will most likely result in slower internet than connecting to an Ethernet connection.
Once again, WiFi signals are transferred through the air, and they can get weakened or even entirely blocked by different causes.
In which, distance, wireless interference, and physical obstacles are most common. Things like concrete walls, floors, brick, large metal appliances, thick doors or windows, etc are super effective at weakening and blocking wireless signals. Therefore, if blocking objects like these stand between your connected devices and your router, weak WiFi signals and slow internet speeds can be expected.
From the router, WiFi signals travel within a certain range. And the further your connected devices are from your WiFi router, the weaker your signal, resulting in poorer downloading speed. Devices and appliances like microwaves, cordless phones, Bluetooth devices can sabotage your WiFi performance. They work in the frequency range of 2. Like traffic lanes on the roads, internet connections have limited capacity. Losing everything from keys to French fries in that gap between the car seat and console is frustrating.
