Do you know that the poor quality of your network most likely depends on where you placed the router ? Well yes, depending on where you put it, the connection changes and also the cost in the bill.
Here’s what the experts say . The position in which to place this “magic box” is essential because depending on where we place it we receive better or worse signal quality .
Always remember that routers transmit signals downward , so to have good coverage you need to place it high up , for example by resting it on a shelf or piece of furniture.
Another fundamental piece of advice is this: you must keep it away from other electronic devices and also metal objects. It is especially important to place it far from the microwave because the latter emits a 2.4 GHz signal which is the same band used by Wi-Fi routers.
Have you noticed that your router also has so-called “antennas” ? These were obviously placed not for an aesthetic detail but because they allow different angles to be covered. So make sure that they are not all pointing in the same direction , instead arrange them horizontally and vertically so that your router can cover different angles of the house.
Wi-Fi and bill increase
We guarantee that if you follow these practical and simple recommendations you will have much better internet quality , a stable network and above all a reduction on the balance of the bill.
How is it possible that there is an increase, in terms of energy, with the use of the router ? First of all, you should know that the new generation routers are capable of consuming around 10 watts per hour , however, taking into account the increase in kilowatt, the cost could even reach 50 euros per year .
Obviously, if your modem is able to ensure an excellent connection from a qualitative point of view, you will use it for the amount of time you need , for example to work, possibly check the cameras in the house or to watch your favorite TV series.
However, the advice is to turn it off when we are not at home or when we hardly need it, for example at night. This way, not only will we save on the bill, but also our health will thank us . The internet box or router, whatever you prefer, always emits electromagnetic fields which are not a panacea for our body.
