Virgin Media's 'one metre' Wi-Fi rule will help speed up your broadband for free - The Mirror

If your broadband feels like it's seriously struggling to keep up then it might be a good idea to try to some advice from Virgin Media. The broadband firm has just released three top Wi-Fi boosting tips including the useful "one-metre" rule.

“Move your Hub at least one metre away from objects such as televisions, wireless speakers and cordless phones,” Virgin explained in an email seen by Mirror Online. “These devices have their own signals and can mess with your WiFi.”

It’s always a good idea to keep your Wi-Fi box out in the open and away from other tech devices. As Virgin confirmed, things like baby monitors and cordless phones emit their own electronic noise which can mess around with your broadband speeds. Tucking the Hub behind the telly is also a really bad idea and now could be a good time to get the tape measure out and make sure there’s plenty of room for the signal to breathe.

Virgin also states that popping the router in a cupboard won't help things either. Yes, it looks neat and tidy but it will stop devices such as phones and tablets getting the signal they need. “Don’t keep your Hub in a cabinet, keep it out in the open so the signal is free to roam,” Virgin added.

The final piece of advice to help boost things for free is to make sure that the flashing black box in the corner of your living roon is stood upright and not lying on its side.

”Keep your Hub upright, with the front lights facing into the room”, Virgin explained. “This makes sure the signal goes outwards, rather than into the floor.”

Of course, these tips won’t make the signal coming through your walls any quicker as the speed you get is all down to how much you pay.

However, making some very simple changes will improve the signal around the home and make sure your nightly Netflix binge is ruined by annoying stuttering.

Adblock test (Why?)
