This cheap kitchen item can protect Wi-Fi from getting hacked, know how

Preventing Wi-Fi Hacking: If you think that only expensive gadgets or technical settings are required to protect Wi-Fi from being hacked, then this news is for you. In fact, these days one such trick is going viral on social media, in which it is being told that a very cheap thing found in the kitchen, i.e. aluminum foil, can not only improve your Wi-Fi router but can also protect it from getting hacked. In a post on social media, it was claimed that applying aluminum foil behind the router is beneficial. Let us know about how this trick works.

After all, how does aluminum foil work?

Actually, a Wi-Fi router sends internet signals in every direction around itself. This also includes places where a signal is not needed, such as places outside your home. When it is installed correctly behind the router, it bends the signal going outside back inside the house, the advantage of this is that the signal strength increases in places where the signal is weak in your house. And since the signal leaks less outside the house, no one outside can easily detect your network, due to which the risk of the network falling into the wrong hands also reduces to some extent.

How to apply foil

To use this trick properly, place the aluminum foil on the back of the router in such a way that its folded part is towards the direction where you want better signal. However, it is also worth keeping in mind that the reflective ability of the foil can sometimes create problems like signal interference, so try placing the foil in different positions and keep checking the internet speed.
