Christmas in coming and Christmas lights can have an effect on your Wi-Fi speeds.
Ofcom, an independent UK regulator of communications,releaseda Wi-Fi Checker app Tuesday.
While there are many gadgets which influence something or the other, lights do have an effect on Wi-Fi.
However it is not as simple as is claimed by Ofcom presser.
Wi-Fi signals arent that strong as they were intended to cover a small area.
Since the signals are not strong, light waves can affect their working thereby slowing the speeds.
In 2006, Ars Technica published a report ofWi-Fi-blocking decorationsbased on research from AirMagnet.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC)also notesthat unshielded wiring can interfere with RF signal.
Given that the wiring of Christmas lights is typically unshielded, they are a potential source of RF interference.
Though the disruption may be quite small, it can have an effect on your browsing speeds.
Finally you’re able to wait for LiFi modems which are headed for the markets in near future.
