A viral social media post has highlighted a simple hack involving aluminium foil to boost Wi-Fi connectivity. By placing foil behind a Wi-Fi router, users report fewer interruptions and improved signal strength. This method effectively reflects electromagnetic signals like a parabolic dish, concentrating them where needed, though it may result in weaker connections in other rooms. While some users were skeptical, scientists support this trick, referencing research that demonstrates its efficacy in channeling Wi-Fi signals, akin to creating a virtual wall around the router.
There's nothing more frustrating than a terrible Wi-Fi connection getting in the way of streaming your favourite show.
Researchers from Dartmouth College and Columbia University used foil to make a 'virtual wall' which could channel Wi-Fi signals around the house.
