Genius Wi-Fi trick hides your ugly router without affecting your internet connection
IF you hate the sight of your Wi-Fi router you’re not alone.
A woman has shared a really clever hack that hides it without affecting your internet connection.
People are known for trying to hide their router in cupboards or behind TVs.
But these can seriously impact the quality of your Wi-Fi connection as solid objects and signals from your TV can block it.
TikToker Shayna Alnwick, @shaynaalnwick, shows how she turned a simple Ikea woven basket into the ultimate Wi-Fi accessory.
And it only costs £11 to achieve.
All you need to do is cut a hole into the SMARRA Box and it will look so much nicer in your living room.
Feed the wires through and you’re good to go.
This way you can put it on a shelf and it’ll look like a nice display object instead.
The basket measures 30x30x10cm.
If your router is a bit chunkier, there is a bigger woven basket available.
A slightly taller one at 30x30x23cm costs £15.
Of course, there are loads of other similar woven baskets you could try it with too.
Which ever box you go with, still be sure to put your router in the right place for the best possible coverage across your entire home.
