A knowledgable computer friend once told me that fridges or freezers (I forget which) have something in the back of their conduits that disrupts or nullifies wi-fi signals. I believe this is correct because in my previous house our wi-fi router was sat on top of the fridge/freezer and constantly read 1mbps at 1/5 bar strength, as soon as we moved it to the living room it immediately went back up to 65mbps and 5/5 bar strength.
I'm in a new house now and we have 3 floors. We need to have the router on the middle floor except the only place with a plug is the utility room where we keep the fridge and freezer. Our net is constantly crashing every 5 minutes and often reads 5.5mbps with 4 bars yet the internet wont actually be running.
Its really annoying me as I need the internet for uni work, we physically cant cope without the internet because assignments need to be submitted online and all our work appears online. Is there anything I can do to sort out the fridge/freezer problem? Theres no where I can move the router.
