Can weather affect a wireless Internet signal?
Generally – No. The only time you could experience any type of minimal signal loss would be during a very heavy rainstorm. Speed may decrease slightly during torrential downpours of 6″ per hour or more. Luckily, this type of rain is very rare in our coverage area. Wireless links are not affected by fog, smog, snow or non-torrential rain. The type of system we use has successfully operated in rainy, tropical areas with no significant degradation of service. However, NEOKNET does depend on electrical service in order to work. If severe weather leaves you without electricity, you will be unable to connect to the Internet.
