    The wifi beams come out in all direction. You can help boost the wifi by placing a mirror behind the router. Then the rays will be reflected back to you and not wasted.

      I’m about 62% sure this is a joke…

      Please help, I’m clueless about this kind of stuff.

        It’s the same principle of al satellite dish and it works, but I’m 86% sure that mirrors won’t affect wifi, so we’re still not at 100% but getting there.

          Depends on what frequency your “mirror” mirrors.

          A traditional one reflects higher frequency of electromagnetic rays (visible light) than what you need for wifi (in the microwave frequencies)

            If it’s a silver layer on a glass/plastic pane (like basically any mirror) and it’s big enough (more than idk, let’s say 20 cm to be safe) why wouldn’t it mirror the lower frequencies too?
