Just last week, Virgin Media issued an urgent alert about moving its routers away from the sunshine. Now, with the mercury set to soar this weekend and a UK health warning in place, it’s a very good time to take notice of this vital advice.
Just like most gadgets, Wi-Fi devices really hate getting hot. In fact, if they happen to overheat, they could end up shutting down leaving you without any internet access.
"Always keep it indoors in a cool place and out of bright sunlight to prevent it from overheating," explained Virgin in the message to users.
