Cultural Tip
In most Spanish‑speaking households the word 'router' is widely understood, but you may also hear 'enrutador' or simply 'wifi'. When giving advice, locals often suggest placing the device in the living room or a central hallway, avoiding metal furniture, microwaves, and thick concrete walls that can block the signal.
