This will be the most important day in the year, and this is a bad news for your Wi-Fi router.
UK homes may ever face terrible downloads and extensive, excessive large domain speeds. Although the current heat wave is great for these summer drinks, barbecue and Tan, hot weather can boost the Internet with the Internet.
In fact, the team at BroadBand Genie just issued an alert that says things could exceed 25 % in the warmer days than it was when the atmosphere is cold.
The worst are loading speeds, with a decrease of up to 27 % when the sun shines.
One of the largest issues with Wi-Fi is when the router is heated. Like all technology, these black black boxes do not really like to be very fun and can be completely closed if left in direct sunlight.
“We are more likely to see a decrease in wide range speeds on this hot talisman. You may see a network engineer who supports your street cabinet door open with an umbrella to provide it with some shade to help keep it cold,” explained by Broadband Genie.
“The bold companies design and test their equipment to work at temperatures and around them up to 40 degrees Celsius. If users can maintain their wide broader router, we will avoid a wave of mass power outage.
“Customers should check for not putting their router in an inappropriate spot, such as any sunny window facing the south or vibrant upper space. You will save a few minutes from here grind the wide range to a halo, and avoid any bold -related frustrations.”

If you want to keep your wide range in the form of a tip through this weather, here are 5 rules that must be followed
Set the router
Getting your router in a good place is a better speed key. Stay away from heat, but don't put it in a cabinet because this will prevent signal as well.
“We know it seems clear, but avoid placing your router in direct sunlight or hot points around your home,” explained Broadband Genie.
“Ideally, you want it on a fixed, solid surface, lifting 30 cm from the ground to get the best performance.”
Preserving it ventilation
The routers are not the most aesthetic piece of technology, but avoid being imprisoned in the tanks or tucked between large furniture pieces. Keeping your router in a well -ventilated area will avoid any wide burning.

The attention of animal lovers
“Your pets can find the most unusual sites (like your router) a comfortable place to get a nap,” Genie BroadBand Genie added.
“Don't let your beloved gentle friend sit on your router, and the fur will be packed piles of dust and dirt in the directed air channels, which prevent ventilation.”
Upgrading to something more modern
Developments in technology design modern tools mean slightly cooler and not sensitive to temperature change. If your router age is more than 15 years, it may be useful to search for a upgrade. You can buy a router yourself, and a budget will be from 30 to 50 pounds a lot.
Get rid of digital toxins
If the atmosphere is very hot and at extreme temperatures, such as 40 ° C+ and your devices are struggling. Think of taking digital toxins in the afternoon: turn off your devices – your router, but only if necessary – and take a break.
