Florida Family Loses Home in Fire Allegedly Caused by Overheating Wi-Fi Router

Keona Huntley claims a faulty Quantum Fiber router, previously replaced due to connectivity issues, overheated and destroyed her rental home, leaving her family displaced and without renters insurance.

• Keona Huntley, a Florida resident, shared on TikTok that her home was destroyed by a fire she believes was caused by her Quantum Fiber Wi-Fi router overheating in her bedroom.
• Huntley had experienced ongoing connectivity issues with the router, prompting multiple visits from technicians and a replacement two months before the fire occurred.
• The fire left Huntley's rental home uninhabitable, destroying all her family’s belongings, and she revealed she did not have renters insurance to cover the losses.
• Fire investigators have yet to confirm the official cause of the blaze, as Huntley continues to point to the router as the suspected source.
• A GoFundMe campaign started by Huntley has raised over $4,400 to help her family rebuild and cover immediate needs like temporary housing and essential replacements.
