1. What Causes Problems With Your Wi-Fi Setup And How It Can Be Fixed?
Here come the holidays! Vicious lines, manic carolers and crazy traffic reign in this the most
wonderful time of the year. You finally think you are safe from the chaos as you get home and
have a chance to relax with your computer or phone, the most grievous of transgressions occur
- your device has no bars!
What would have caused this, and how can it be fixed? We hate to be the bearer of bad news
but the holiday season hates your Wi-Fi network. Fairy lights, despite their cheerful
appearance, can cause problems with your Wi-Fi.
Wireless networks are significantly weaker than other types of longer distance broadcasts,
making them more susceptible to interference from otherwise harmless sources. When not set
up properly, any number of things can hamper a solid connection speed, from lamps to baby
monitors. These issues are year-round problems that can often be overlooked as few people
are running all their devices constantly. Even if your microwave slows your Wi-Fi, it’s unlikely
you noticed since the slow down would be temporary and you were rewarded for your patience
with food.
Fairy lights, however, run for more prolonged periods of time. Their unshielded wires aren’t
insulated and therefore don’t protect radio-based devices. Combine that with an entire
neighborhood of lights and smartphone wielding relatives and your Wi-Fi network may have a
problem!

2. Fortunately, many other decorations are completely harmless. If you put up a tree in your
home, it will have no effect on your modem’s speed. Thank goodness!
