    Yes, but the tailwind becomes a headwind on the way back to the router so you won’t see any actual speed changes. Putting a fan on both ends will cancel each other out too.

    You need to change all the gaseous air out for either liquid or a solid as waves propagate faster through them. You should start with filling your house with liquid oxygen as a nice half step so you still have something to breathe easily, as solids are a bit more tricky.

      The general idea is correct, but since we’re dealing with electronagnetic waves, they travel slower in any medium. So pumping out all the air of the room would technically make your wifi faster.

      Liquid oxygen has (I think) a refractive index of about 1.2, so it would make the signals 20% slower (still very fast)

      What if i put the router in front of an open window, open the window behind my computer and put a fan between the two ?
