USB devices can interfere with Wi-Fi, experts advise decluttering

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Poor Wi-Fi performance can often be attributed to interference from USB 3.0 devices, which emit electromagnetic radiation in the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz range, the same spectrum used by many wireless networks. To mitigate this, users can try decluttering their workspace by disconnecting unnecessary USB gadgets or switching to USB 2.0 where possible. Additionally, repositioning USB devices, using extension cables, or employing USB hubs can create physical distance and reduce interference, thereby improving Wi-Fi signal quality. AI
