“Why Your Expensive Wi-Fi 7 Router Could Be Slower Than Expected” — what this page in the network covers. If you've invested in a high-end Wi-Fi 7 router but aren't seeing the blazing speeds you paid for, the culprit might be hiding in plain sight: where you placed it. Many users tuck their routers into corners, behind furniture, or inside cabinets to keep them out of sight, but that can significantly degrade performance. Wi-Fi signals radiate outward in all directions, and placing your router against a wall or in a corner can block or reflect those signals, reducing coverage and speed.
Even the most advanced Wi-Fi 7 routers, which promise multi-gigabit throughput and lower latency, are not immune to physical obstructions. Materials like concrete, brick, metal, and even thick wooden furniture can absorb or scatter the high-frequency signals that Wi-Fi 7 relies on, especially in the 6 GHz band.
