Can Laptop Cooler or AV Cooler Degrade WiFi Signal??
Hi I am always use Laptop Cooler underneath Router to keep it cool!! Today I replaced it with AC Infinity AIRCOM T9 Amazon.com: AC Infinity AIRCOM T9, Quiet Cooling Fan System 17" Top-Exhaust for R...
From the research I've done on that tv, it doesn't have 6ghz. It has Wifi 6 which is 2.4ghz/5ghz. But not 6ghz. the 6ghz standard is included with Wifi 6E.
Meaning its connecting to the 5ghz.
Either way, many things impact 5ghz and 6ghz because they don't pass through materials as well. It could be something as simple as you moved the furniture or the fan cooler is slightly blocking an antenna. Those can cause 5ghz/6ghz speeds to drop as they don't have the penetration power of 2.4ghz.
Your tv must be a bit aways from the router or have a bit of material between if thats all its getting for a link speed because its got a solid wifi chip in it
According to LG G2 Spec yes it's stated WiFi 6 but TV detecting WiFi 6e Band besides 2.4 and 5 Ghz!!
great if it is. Maybe they labeled something wrong on the spec sheet.
6ghz has less distance/penetration power than even 5ghz does. I don't think the fan should be putting off anything that'd block wifi but it itself might be attenuating the signal
So I removed the T9 Cooler which actually made by Metal or Aluminum and retest it but results are same! with or without it. LG G2 twenty feets away in a another Room still getting 158/164 Mbps, with Sansung S23 Ultra getting 700 Mbps up and 600 Mbps down from 10 feets away which is not to bad!!!
