Just wondering if anyone knows if there is a solar flare at the moment or anything else that could affect wifi and other transmission signals?

Last night and this morning, my Samsung Galaxy S4 isn’t able to connect to any wifi networks.

This morning, my iPhone 4S is unable to connect to wifi.

Also this morning, my 3yo boy came in and turned on the tv to watch Peppa Pig on ABC2, and the tv kept going black, saying “Loss of signal”, for maybe 10 seconds at a time. Did it 3 or 4 times over a 10 minute period.

Ok thanks, I’ll have a look around for more solutions…

Nothing working at the moment.

As far as I can see, it says that there is a flare due on 17th, which might be some US time zone I guess. But the page is dated Wednesday 17th for some reason.

Also, JTQ, your TV may need retuning. A few areas this week are due to be retuned.
