There’s almost nothing more worrisome than your technology not functioning when you need it to. On a rainy day when you can’t play outside, you might try to stream movies, but sometimes your connection seems just as bogged down by the poor weather as you are.

We need a fast internet connection, especially on rainy days when we are stuck at home, to prevent boredom and delays in our job. But unfortunately, at those times, internet access is unavailable. This isn’t the issue with the service provider; “Wi-Fi not working on a rainy day or storm” is a problem people encounter frequently worldwide. While it is difficult for most people to imagine that cloudy weather can affect internet speeds, here are some of the reasons why it could occur:

Wi-Fi waves pass through radio signals, which makes it difficult in the rain. Rain obstructs the signal, slowing down your internet connection.

● Storms reduce Wi-Fi signal strength

Since Wi-Fi routers are electromagnetic signal transmitters, they cannot pick up Wi-Fi signals during severe weather. In cases of close contact, this may slow down the signal’s rate of transmission. Satellite internet service, fixed-line, DSL, wireless, fiber cable, and other services become problematic in bad weather. Heavy downpours have the potential to break or damage the cable destroying the internet connection.

● High Traffic, Less Speed

Nobody enjoys leaving the house to work on rainy days instead, we choose to stay in and binge-watch web series on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, or Disney Hotstar. The service network experiences heavy traffic as a result, which reduces download speed throughout the day. Poor weather is often linked to low speed, but another factor that makes service difficult in poor weather is excessive traffic.

There are a few ways to resolve your Wi-Fi issues this monsoon season:

● Router UPS

Power outages can be frequent during monsoons and having a UPS for routers keeps your internet connection active for hours. You could purchase one at your nearest Ethernet Xpress branch.

● Reset 

Push and hold the reset button for a few seconds. This will cause the router to factory reset. Reconfigure the router with the help of our team. Resetting your router can sometimes be the sole solution to the issue.

● Repositioning of Router

It is best to keep a wireless router away from water-prone areas especially near windows as wind gusts or brief raindrops can potentially damage your device. Place your Wi-Fi router in that room or a busy area so that you can easily use it from there. Better network coverage can be achieved with less distance and no obstructions.

● Clear caches

The device memory can be filled with cache and deleting these files is one of the easiest methods to deal with this problem. If bad weather slows down your internet speed, you can clear cache files on the phone and also your browser’s unnecessary histories. Truth be told; it works in bad weather and any kind of poor internet connection.

We advise you to choose a router from a reputable company that has strong signal reception and can fend against such unsafe situations. An unwavering Wi-Fi connection is essential for everything, including gaming, binge-watching web series, working from home, and other activities.
