What Is a Wireless “Dead Zone”? Here’s How to Spot and Fix Them
We take Wi-Fi for granted, but it’s not magic—it’s made up of radio waves which solid objects can block and interfere with. Fortunately, there are ways to locate and eradicate dead zones so you can enjoy the internet anywhere in the home.
Let’s explore why Wi-Fi dead zones exist, and how to solve them.
What Is a Wi-Fi Dead Zone?
A dead zone is simply an area within your house, apartment, office, or any other area that’s supposed to be covered by Wi-Fi. When you try to connect, however, your device registers no signal.
If you take a device into a dead zone, the Wi-Fi will stop working and you won’t receive a signal. For example, if you walk into a room with a phone or tablet, and that room is in a dead zone, you’ll stop getting a Wi-Fi signal.
