WiFi is waves in space, not air.

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

Followup: Can I get a fan that moves space instead of air? I need to make my wifi faster.

You can define your fan to be moving space and the pushing of air is the side-effect.

What poster above meant is that wifi is electromagnetic waves, so it does not care whether air is present or not. Air does not significantly hinder the propagation of electromagnetic waves. What you could do to speed up your wifi, in theory, is to fill your living room with argon. Argon has a lower refractive index than air, so the waves can travel faster. The downside is that you won't be able to breathe.

Followup: So I need to get a fan with this symbol on it: ☢️?

There's a few on eBay, but the sellers are all Russian and I'm not sure if they're scams or not.

I guess I'll look for radiation fan on Amazon.

Build your own fan out of bananas and you have a radiation fan.

K, umm I mean 40 K.

So SCUBA for inside the house breathing while gaming, zoom meeting, etc. That's totally doable.

[-] knacht1@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

SCBA would be enough.

[-] NeatoBuilds@mander.xyz 1 points 6 days ago

Just get a tube of argon that you can connect from your wifi ap to your device so the waves can travel faster through the tube

[-] knacht1@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Check on Amazon for a "Space fan".

Just have a miniature wormhole connect your PC directly to the server

Waves in the electromagnetic field that permeates all of space, along with many other fields with different topologies and particles.
