Why is my spectrum Wi-Fi not working?

Factors that can Affect Wi-Fi signal

1.       Metal objects around your Wi-Fi router can distort your signal by reflecting/bouncing the signal; the same goes for thick glass.

2.       Putting your router in a cupboard can weaken the signal; keep out in the open in a centralized spot

3.       Water can absorb a Wi-Fisignal; avoid putting your router near a fish tank

4.       Some microwaves, baby monitors and cordless phones operate on the same frequency as the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi band and can interfere with the signal – note that 2.4GHz has a longer range, so if you’re far away from your router/access point, 2.4GHz would be the best to connect to.
