Faulty WiFi router ignites flames in residence due to connectivity problems
A Florida woman, Keona Huntley, went through a traumatic experience when her home was destroyed by a fire. According to her, the fire was caused by a faulty WiFi router that overheated and burned everything in its path. She took to TikTok to share footage of the aftermath, showing her charred bedroom, destroyed by the fire that originated from the Internet box.

Huntley expressed her devastation and loss, stating that her family had lost everything in the fire. The bedroom, where the WiFi router was located, was completely destroyed and had debris scattered around, including mattress spring coils and ceiling insulation. She also pointed out a window that was burned through, further emphasizing the extent of the damage.

In her post, Huntley blamed Quantum Fiber Wi-Fi, the manufacturer of the router, for the incident. She claimed that a technician from the company had visited her home multiple times to address connectivity issues with the router. Despite replacing the box a few months before the fire, the technician continued to visit due to ongoing issues.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation, according to Realtor.com. Meanwhile, Huntley expressed frustration over not having renters insurance, which means she won't be compensated for her lost personal belongings. In a GoFundMe page, Huntley wrote about the devastating impact the fire has had on her family and their memories.

Huntley also shared on TikTok that her children, nieces, and nephews no longer have a home to go to. She is currently in the process of clearing the debris from her property while searching for temporary housing and replacing lost items. Despite the difficult situation, Huntley remains positive and determined to rebuild and provide a home for her family.

The incident occurred just a few months after a similar incident in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where a lithium-ion battery pack ignited and caused a house fire. In the aftermath of the tragedy, Huntley's GoFundMe page has raised over $4,400 to help her family get back on their feet. Despite the challenges, Huntley remains grateful for the support and is determined to move forward with her family.
