Christmas Lights Can Interfere with Wi-Fi Signal
Following the Tuesday release of a Wi-Fi Checker app, it was revealed that Christmas lights can affect Wi-Fi signal performance. Wi-Fi is susceptible to interference because it is an RF signal, and “other devices operating within the same or similar frequency range” can pose a problem, says Mashable. Unshielded wiring such as Christmas lights can interfere with RF signals as … [Read more...]
