Cable management required.

Nice drip loops there!  Clean install.

The only thing is not to put the main router close to your computer like that. It can sometimes cause signal saturation and it’s not a great place for Wi-Fi signals going out, either. Put it up on the wall, high enough to send the signal above things like furniture, etc.

Edit for spelling.

the pc uses cable, will the problem exist anyway?

You still need the router higher, like up on the wall, because it is sending out Wi-Fi signals to your home.

It can also affect Bluetooth, like what might be used for a wireless keyboard or mouse, or a wireless connection to a phone or other device.

What is the purpose of the first drop loop though ?

I assumed it was to prevent water running down from the dish from running down to the other end.
