WiFi "Signal" is Weak Near Large Mirrors
4.5
You have a mirrored wardrobe, and the WiFi in that room is significantly worse than others.
Symptoms
- Dead zone
- Signal reflection
- Drops
Possible Causes
- Metal backing on mirrors acts as a shield
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Move the Router
Ensure the router isn't "aiming" directly at a large mirror.
2
Use a Mesh Node
Place a node where it has a clear path around the mirror.
3
Check for Other Metal
Metal studs in walls or foil insulation also block signals.
When to See a Technician
Mirrors are essentially thin sheets of metal. They reflect WiFi signals just like they reflect light.
