ALL sorts of objects and materials are the home can interfere with your Wi-Fi.

But we bet you didn't expect your heating system to be a possible problem.

Underfloor heating can cause big problems when it comes to internet speed, according to .

This is particularly a problem if, like most households, you want your Wi-Fi router signal to reach multiple floors.

Underfloor heating can be an issue because of the metal material, which is harder for signals to penetrate.

To avoid interference, you should love the router off the ground and having it in the most central location in your home.

The same goes for any other metal objects around the house.

Your router emits radio waves and these are electromagnetic.

That means metal can absorb them and reduce the strength of your Wi-Fi.

Secondly, if you use hydronics to heat your home then you may also face problems.

Hydronic heating involves liquid water or gas moving around pipes in your home.

Water is another bad substance for Wi-Fi signals to travel through.

That's because water easily absorbs the radiation sent out by your router, leaving a black hole with no signal around the area in question.

If you're having issues with your router and it's near large amounts of water or pipes, try moving it elsewhere.

A very large vase full of water or a fish tank can also have the same effect.

The same goes for human bodies that naturally contain a large amount of water.
