Yes, a router virus can impact your Wi-Fi connection in several ways, including:
Slowing down internet speeds by consuming bandwidth or disrupting network traffic.
Causing unstable connections, leading to dropped connections or difficulty accessing the internet.
Allowing unauthorized access to your network can further strain bandwidth and compromise security.
Redirecting to malicious sites by changing DNS settings and redirecting wi-fi users to malicious sites.
Facilitating the spread of malware to devices on your network, leading to additional security risks.
To protect your Wi-Fi, update your router’s firmware regularly, change default passwords, monitor for unusual activity, and consider a factory reset if you suspect an infection.
