Explains why my Wifi speaker keeps dropping off my network tonight.
No, it doesn't. It would stop satellites from communicating with Earth on those frequencies due to having the ionosphere in the way, but it would not stop ground-based equipment from communicating with other ground-based equipment on those frequencies.
Did I really need a sarcasm tag?
Do geo storms affect up into the GHz where wifi sits? I can only find material talking about the ionisphere and frequencies up to HF :|
No, they don't. They would stop satellites from communicating with Earth on those frequencies through the ionosphere, but they wouldn't stop ground equipment from communicating with each other on those frequencies.
