Hot weather also affects technology devices, how to protect your router

Heat is not only a problem for us, but also for our technology, which can be damaged if exposed to excessive heat.

A Wi-Fi router is one of the items that gets overlooked when heat issues are mentioned.

"Cell phones and routers have a built-in device that helps them stay quiet, but there are things you can do to help," explains telecommunications expert Sabrina Hoke.

Store the router in the coldest room in the house

It is best to store your router in the coolest room in the house. But next to a window is not ideal because it will be exposed to direct sunlight.

Do not place objects near the router

In general, you should avoid piling objects around the router as this is not good for the signal. Therefore, move any books or items from the shelves that are too close to the router.

Avoid overloading your router

Today we all have many devices, such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, smart home appliances, smart TVs and more. Your router can generally handle several devices, but the more devices you have, the greater the load on it.

If you can turn off some appliances to reduce the load during hot weather, that can help.
