These days, you will find many such hacks on social media, in which it is being claimed that keeping a coin on the Wi-Fi router increases the internet speed. Not only this, big claims are made in many such hacks related to Wi-Fi and Internet, but how true are these claims? Many of these claims are just myths. Such claims are made just to increase views and likes. Have you also tried something like this?
Does keeping coins increase internet speed?
However, experts say that keeping a coin on a Wi-Fi router does not make any difference to the internet speed. Plastic is used in the body of Wi-Fi routers used in homes. In such a situation, placing a coin on the router does not connect it directly to the antenna. In such a situation, keeping the coin has no effect.
Let us tell you that Wi-Fi routers used in homes and offices work on radio frequency. They have an antenna, which transmits the electromagnetic web. By placing a coin on top of the router, it does not physically and internally touch the antenna, due to which it has any effect on the electromagnetic web.
This coin neither works to increase or decrease the signal strength nor the speed of the internet. However, it can definitely cause harm. This coin can block the router’s air vents, affecting airflow. In such a situation, this trick can cause more harm than good.
How to increase internet speed?
To increase the signal strength and internet speed of the Wi-Fi router, it is most important that you choose the right router. After this, place the router in the middle of the house so that its signal can reach every room. Also, keep in mind that the router should not be kept close to the ground but should be kept close to the ceiling so that the web of signal can spread completely downwards. Apart from this, do not keep the Wi-Fi router close to any device or appliance like microwave etc. so that there is no problem of signal interference. Only through these methods you can increase the internet speed of Wi-Fi.
