Are you troubled by slow Wi-Fi? This 1 thing kept in the kitchen will make your router a rocket:

News India Live, Digital Desk: Does this happen to you too? If you sit in one corner of the room, there is full Wi-Fi signal, but as soon as you go to the other corner, video buffering starts. In today’s era of ‘work from home’ and online classes, there is no bigger headache than slow Wi-Fi. We often call internet companies and take expensive plans, but the problem remains the same.

But do you know that a very easy and cheap ‘desi jugaad’ for this big problem of yours is hidden in your kitchen itself? Yes, we are talking about food packers. aluminum foil of. It may sound strange, but this little trick can turn your Wi-Fi router into a ‘super router’.

How does this magic of science work?

There is no magic behind this jugaad, but simple science.

When your Wi-Fi router sends a signal, it sends it in all four directions (360 degrees). This means that the signal is not only going towards your laptop or phone, but also towards the back wall, outside the window and towards the ceiling, where it is not needed. In such a situation, a lot of signal strength is wasted.

Aluminum foil is a metal and the job of metal is to reflect the signal, that is, to bend it in the other direction. When you place the foil behind the router, it blocks those wasted signals and bounces them back to where you need the internet. This is just like the antenna of Dish TV focuses the signal at one place.

How to use this trick?

1. Take a piece of aluminum foil. If you want, you can stick it on some thick paper or cardboard so that it becomes a little hard.
2. Now fold it into a slight circle, as shown in the picture (C-shaped).
3. Place this folded foil directly behind the antenna of your Wi-Fi router.
4. Make sure the open, curved part of the foil faces the direction where you want to strengthen the signal (like your bedroom or living room).

Some more important things that can make your Wi-Fi run

• Correct location of the router: Always keep your router in the middle of the house and at a slight height. Do not keep it hidden inside a cupboard, behind the TV or in a corner.
• Update and restart: Keep restarting (turning off and on) your router from time to time. Also, if the company sends any software update, then definitely install it.
• Distance from other devices: Keep the router away from things like microwaves, cordless phones or Bluetooth speakers, as these devices also interfere with Wi-Fi signals.

So the next time your internet starts acting like a turtle, before cursing the internet company, try this simple solution by removing aluminum foil from your kitchen.
