With Christmas just around the corner, most of us have given our homes a festive makeover for the occasion with tinsel and twinkling lights - but your decorations could be getting in the way of your yuletide entertainment.
Whether you're heading to your favourite streaming platform to catch a festive film or video calling friends and family to wish them a Merry Christmas, having a strong internet connection is never more important than over the holidays. However, a broadband expert has advised that if you're experiencing trouble with your Wi-Fi signal at this time of year, your Christmas decorations could be to blame.
Ernest Doku from Uswitch explained that rearranging the furniture to make room for your Christmas tree can end up interfering with your broadband connection, as can placing decorations too close to your router. "When you place large objects in front of your router it can affect your Wi-Fi signal," Ernest explained.
