Question: WiFi interference most commonly comes from three types of sources: Walls and floors blocking wireless signals The construction materials in your home can greatly affect wireless communication speed and range. Materials such as wood and glass don’t have much of an effect. However, denser materials such as concrete, brick, and metal can make it difficult to connect. These denser materials can also slow your network speed or even completely block wireless signals from reaching certain parts of your home. Large furniture items such as filing cabinets or bookshelves, as well as appliances like stoves or refrigerators, can also interfere with WiFi. Appliances and electronics emitting radio frequency interference WiFi interference can also come from other electronics and appliances that aren’t connected to your wireless network but use the same 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequencies to communicate. Examples include cordless phones, Bluetooth devices, wireless cameras, and baby monitors. Microwave ovens generate radio frequency noise as a byproduct, so if yours is located close to your WiFi router, you may notice a network slowdown or get disconnected only when you’re using your microwave. Other WiFi networks using the same channel as your own WiFi network Interference from competing WiFi networks is especially common in apartment buildings and other densely populated areas. WiFi networks broadcast on channels, so when nearby WiFi networks are set to use the same channel, they’ll constantly be competing with each other for limited bandwidth. Contact SRT if you experience the effects of network interference. Technicians may be able to overcome interference by moving, modifying or upgrading WiFi networking equipment.

		While some details regarding the process of vaccination against COVID-19 are still being worked out, scammers are taking advantage of the evolving situation to try and steal personal or financial information. Here’s what the Federal Communications Commission wants you to know: You don’t have to pay to put your name on a list to get the vaccine. That’s a scam. You can’t pay to “jump the line” and get early access to the vaccine. That’s a scam. Nobody from a legitimate vaccination distribution site will contact you — by phone, text message, social media platform, or home visit — about the vaccine and ask for your Social Security, bank account, or credit card number. That’s a scam. Remember, there are a limited number of federally approved vaccines and treatments for COVID-19. Be skeptical of anyone offering a miracle cure, treatment, or medication that claims to prevent the virus and is not one of the federally approved vaccines. Do not buy any kind of coronavirus vaccine or treatment on the internet or from an online pharmacy. There will be strict protocols for the order in which certain groups of people, such as nursing home residents and health care workers, will be inoculated. For reliable information about vaccine distribution in your area, visit the website of your state or local health department. You may also contact your health care provider.
