Businesses Join Forces to Encourage Consumers to Follow the 30-Cimeter Rule for Home Routers
Sometimes we go crazy trying to make the Wi-Fi signal in our home strong enough when we can achieve it in a very simple, but not widely known, way, such as the thirty-centimeter rule. In our homes, we have a lot of devices competing for their share of the Internet: mobile phones, computers, tablets, video game consoles, televisions... or maybe even the refrigerator, and one of the keys to ensuring that each one is well supplied with a signal is this rule, which is relatively easy to follow.
What is the 30-centimeter rule and why should we respect it?
The requirement to adhere to it is relatively simple; you just need to make sure that there are no electronic devices within 30 cm of the router, which can be complicated in terms of space, but it is essential to achieve a signal strong enough to be shared without any problem by all the devices in the house. This allows them all to receive an identical signal, as none of them are too close to each other and do not take up a large percentage of the signal.
But when we talk about these thirty centimeters, it should be noted that we are talking about the minimum distance, not the recommended distance. For example, when we talk about a smart TV, the recommendation is that it be located at a distance of at least 1.5 to 2 meters from the router. It is also advisable to place the router in a central part of the house, because the further away it is, the more obstacles the signal has to overcome to reach certain devices depending on their location.
By following the 30-centimeter rule and keeping your devices well-placed, you can greatly improve your Wi-Fi coverage and efficiency. This simple trick can help you reduce interference and enjoy a more stable and faster connection in all areas of your home.
