It could destroy your device
Broadband users across the UK have been issued a warning to keep routers away from direct sunlight as the weather gets warmer. Virgin Media issued an urgent warning to users reminding them to keep their router away from the sunshine, and to avoid placing it on the likes of baking hot window ledges.
This is similar to most gadgets, such as mobile phones and laptops, but routers can end up shutting down completely should they get too hot. Additionally, prolonged exposure to heat could end up frying the device beyond repair, reports The Chronicle Live.Writing a message to its users, Virgin said: "Always keep it indoors in a cool place and out of bright sunlight to prevent it from overheating.
The company also advised that to boost speeds further, you should also clean your Wi-Fi connection regularly erasing any devices which can do without sucking up your super fast speeds, like a neighbour's laptop or old and outdated gadgets sat collecting dust. Virgin's Connect App can help customers with this, allowing you to pause smartphones and tablets from accessing the internet remotely.
