Its odd that if someone stands in between the wifi router and my device the wifi gets worse

@DDonde Nope. Then again my mom had to get irradiated to get rid of her thyroid cancer a ways back so idk. I know this cause the family wasn't allowed 10 ft from her. And I had to bake her non iodized(salt)bread too for some reason

@DDonde also, it's happened too many times during direct observation to be a coincidence

@pride49 I just remember that I used to have a faulty microwave oven that would leak microwaves while cooking so it would interfere with the signal.
Could be they just have something on them giving off a signal that's interfering with it for whatever reason.

@DDonde I looked it up. Looked like a whole lot of things cause problems

Yes, physical obstacles can significantly affect Wi-Fi speed and range. Materials like concrete, metal, and dense furniture can absorb or deflect Wi-Fi signals, weakening them and reducing their ability to travel effectively. This can lead to slower speeds and dead spots in your home.
Here's how obstacles impact Wi-Fi:

Signal Absorption:
Solid objects like walls and floors absorb some of the Wi-Fi signal, reducing its overall strength.

Signal Reflection:
Materials like metal can reflect Wi-Fi signals, causing them to bounce around and potentially interfering with the main signal.
Signal Diffraction:
Edges of materials can diffract Wi-Fi signals, causing them to bend and weaken.

@DDonde I have something else to worry about too ...sigh

Yes, WiFi routers can overheat, especially if they are placed in poorly ventilated areas or under heavy load. Overheating can lead to performance issues, such as slow speeds, dropped connections, or even complete shutdown to prevent damage.

@pride49 Probably not overheating if it's cause there's somebody else. I'm guessing it's something they have on them, like their phone or a smart watch or something like that
