WiFi "Signal" is Weak Near Large Mirrors
4.5
Your WiFi signal drops significantly when you are standing near a large mirror.
Symptoms
- Signal drop
- Slow speed
- Disconnects
Possible Causes
- Metal backing on mirrors reflects signals
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
Switch to 5GHz
While water still absorbs it, 5GHz might find other paths (reflections) better.
When to See a Technician
Mirrors are essentially thin sheets of metal. They reflect WiFi signals just like they reflect light.
