To watch movies and series online on TV, it is important to have a good connection. If it works poorly, if the signal is weak, it is very likely that you will experience stuttering when watching 4K content. There are many reasons that can affect and cause the signal to perform poorly and one of them is that the coverage is not good. Usually, to avoid this problem we usually resort to buying a repeater. However, this is not always necessary. We’ll explain what you should Check if WiFi is not working well on TV before buying a repeater.
a WIFI repeater What it does is connect to the router and distribute the signal in the area where you place it. It can come in handy if you’re going to connect devices with poor coverage, but when the problem is something else, you won’t really notice any improvement. Your connection might start to deteriorate, without you even noticing.
Interference detection in smart TV
From everything that can affect Wi-Fi connection on the TV, a factor to consider is overlap. This may cause a network error, and you cannot see the content in the broadcast properly. But what causes interference? There will be some hardware that can affect.
A clear example is Devices that use Bluetooth. It operates at a frequency of 2.4GHz, so it can affect WiFi. If you have Bluetooth speakers, consoles, or any device that uses this technology nearby, it can cause the Internet connection on your Smart TV to work worse.
can also breed confusion Even a working microwave. Of course, for this to happen, the TV must be nearby. If you have the TV in the kitchen or very close to it, then you may encounter this problem every time you turn on the microwave. And no, a wireless repeater won’t help much in this case.
There is also certain materials It can affect WiFi. If you have metal objects near you, any appliance that uses water (refrigerator, washing machine, dishwasher…) will also affect it. Be careful with a metal cabinet where you put the TV, for example. All of this will make the signal not travel well and won’t help the repeater much.
Locating the TV is key
So what you should do is Position the TV well. Avoid placing it near devices that may cause interference, or materials such as metal, walls, or walls that can block the signal. Ideally, you should place it in an area where it is receiving a good signal, away from other devices that might be affecting it.
However, if you have to place the TV in a place where the coverage does not reach well and there are devices causing interference, what we recommend is that you try Connect cable TV network. This will help you gain greater stability and reduce the risk of problems.
In short, as you can see, it is important to place the TV well. If you see that your WiFi is not working well, before buying a repeater, check if there are potential devices that are generating interference and try to move these devices as far away as possible. You can always add a gigabit port to your TV and get better internet.
