Have you or anybody you know been affected by a cat sitting, sleeping or potentially even defecating (iew..) on your beloved broadband router? According to support staff at one ISP, Be Broadband, “feline interference<\/em><\/strong>” is a potentially very serious problem and one that has reportedly “bothered<\/em>” their customers for “many years<\/em>“.
\n
\nThe problem first came to light after one of Be Broadband’s customers (Liam<\/a>) raised this most serious of issues with the ISPs support department. According to Liam, his “router is apparently very attractive<\/em>” to cats and this results in his pet spending most of the day asleep on top of it or knocking the wireless aerial about, which takes his home network down.<\/p>\n

Problems like this are becoming more common, as many cat owners could probably attest, but thankfully BE had a solution. The ISP promptly responded by sending Liam two decoy routers<\/strong> to help mitigate the effect.<\/p>\n

BE’s Customer Support Rep said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Basically, we are going to send you two routers, and we will ask both of them to be returned at the end. Of course we will love to keep you as a customer until the end of time, but everything is up to you.<\/em><\/p>\n

About the decoy function, one possible solution will be… plug both and switch them on, then see which one is attracting the feline aggressor and then plug the DSL<\/a> cable in the other router.<\/em><\/p>\n

Another possible solution is to stack them so the upper router takes the aggro.<\/em><\/p>\n

Of course the final decision should be based on the current situation.<\/em><\/p>\n

It is not a problem if the router have cat food properties, as (as we stated in the beginning) this is ongoing issue, so we might be able to re-use the router for the same purpose<\/em>.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thankfully the decoy router did the trick and Liam’s cat has now stopped sitting on his router, although not all ISPs would take the problem quite so seriously and as a result many people may continue to suffer from wireless connectivity and potentially even overheating problems. A suspicious looking cat is pictured below (aka – suspicious cat is suspicious).<\/p>\n

\"cat<\/div>\n

ISPreview.co.uk’s own cat, Minty, whom sadly passed away recently, was known to have a fondness for one of our old LinkSys<\/strong> routers because it got particularly warm in winter. At this stage it’s unclear whether or not cats prefer specific models or not, although take it from us, spreading a mountain of orange peel over the device seemed only to make it more comfortable. The Daily Mail<\/a>, Be Usergroup<\/a> and Reddit<\/a> have also picked up on this most serious of all problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
