AI Summary

If Wi‑Fi performance is lagging, the article suggests checking the desk for wireless USB dongles and other 2.4 GHz peripherals, as they may be the source of interference. Most of these devices share the same 2.4 GHz band that also carries microwave oven signals, making the spectrum crowded and prone to signal clashes. The problem is amplified by similar gadgets in nearby offices and apartments, where overlapping transmissions can push each other aside and prevent some signals from reaching their destination. Removing or disabling unnecessary USB wireless accessories can therefore clear the channel and improve connectivity.
