Strange WIFI phenomenon

[Dr Who]

Hi All

I just had to share this, after starting the process of packing up our stuff ( as we moving ) we completed the kitchen last night. This resulted in us moving our pots and pans from the cupboard into a box. We covered them in paper and guess what suddenly our WIFI signal doubled in strength.

For months we were not able to get strong signal in the bedroom and last night it was perfect. Its crazy how something so stupid as this would have such an impact.

Metal reflects radio waves, makes sense.

Metal reflects radio waves, makes sense.

If it is/was aluminum pots, then they would absorb signal between 2,4gHz and 5gHz. I got a marked increase in WiFi speed and reception since I threw out all aluminum stuff.
