Has it happened to you too that you are watching a video on your mobile while roaming around the house, but as soon as you come near the kitchen, the video starts getting stuck? If this has happened to you then the reason for this is the microwave kept in your kitchen. Now you might ask how can a microwave buffer video? The answer is that due to the radiation emitted from the microwave, the WiFi connection becomes weak, due to which the video playing continuously on your screen suddenly starts buffering. Let us know the science behind it.
Microwave affects WiFi connection.
Very few people are aware that microwave interference weakens the WiFi connection. In such a situation, whenever you use a microwave, the electromagnetic waves emanating from it affect the WiFi connection. This happens because the microwave emits radiation at 2.45 GHz. On the other hand, your WiFi router also uses this band. Now since both are using signals on the same band, they overlap.
Why is WiFi connection affected?
Why does the WiFi connection get affected when the microwave and router use the same band? The answer lies in power. Microwaves emit radiation with 1,000 times the power of a router. Due to this, it eliminates all the low power signals coming in its path.
What is the way to prevent this?
If your microwave’s hinge or door seal is broken and it does not close completely while in use, it will leak more radiation. Therefore, close the door completely. Another way is to keep your WiFi router away from the microwave. If these two are located close to each other then there will be more problems in connection, but if there is more space between them then this problem will not arise.
