During monsoon, excess moisture can cause serious damage to electronic devices like Wi-Fi routers, TVs, speakers and laptops. Moisture accumulation near walls and windows can corrode ports on equipment, and lack of ventilation in closed cabinets can damage internal components.

In this article, we will give you some tips to keep your Wi-Fi router and other electronic devices safe during the rainy season.

Keep TV and router away from walls

During rainy days the walls are full of moisture, even if they appear dry on the surface. During rain, steam accumulates on the windows, which can cause moisture to reach the router, TV or speakers. Therefore, it would be better to keep these devices on a shelf or table inside the house.

Equipment parts may get damaged in closed cabinets

Humidity increases rapidly in closed spaces. If the router is placed behind a cabinet or furniture, hot and humid air collects around it. Keeping it in an open space improves air flow, which reduces the chances of moisture damaging the ports inside the device.

Use Silica Gel Packets

You often keep the gadgets which are not used daily in a drawer or storage box. In such a situation, the risk of moisture accumulation increases. By inserting silica gel packets in these boxes, it absorbs excess moisture and keeps the storage space dry. This is especially useful for cameras, headphones, portable hard drives, and gaming accessories.
