A new study has found that plants in the house can cause a decrease in Wi-Fi speed.
According to researchers from the British company Broadband Genie, moving the Wi-Fi router away from plants indoors increases the speed of the Internet by more than a third.
According to the researchers, this is because the damp soil and greenery of the plants can absorb signals or change their direction, which weakens coverage.
The company’s expert Peter Ames said that the researchers were surprised to find out how much difference moving houseplants away from the router can make on the speed of the Internet.
However, walls, ceilings and even neighbors’ Wi-Fi networks can also cause disruption to connectivity.
