Christmas tree interferes with WLAN: That's why the Internet is so slow

At Christmas, Internet interference is increasing in many households. Read here why the Christmas tree is interfering with your WiFi and how you can fix the problem.

WiFi and Christmas tree - why this can cause problems

You install the reasons for the malfunction yourself, so to speak - the Christmas decoration.

• The festive lighting of the Christmas tree, but also other copper lines, are a reason for faults. The cables of the fairy lights reduce the signal of your router.
• Fairy lights act like antennas and thus disrupt the radio waves.
• The first step is to choose the correct location for your Christmas tree.
• Ideally, the Christmas tree should be as far away from the router as possible. If this is not possible, position the router behind a larger piece of furniture, such as a large armchair, or even better, for example on a cabinet.
• When it comes to decorating your Christmas tree, be sure to keep an eye on the signal from your router.
• In a small apartment you will be faced with the choice: Either do without a stable WiFi during the Christmas season - or just a lot of fairy lights on the tree.
• A chain of lights alone brings mood. Maybe you also use the warm and light of candles - they do not interfere with your WLAN signal. Electricity also costs money for fairy lights.
