Avoiding EMF: Router Issues
-
@Rah1woot how far from the router must one be, where one could leave it on and be free from the emf? (For example, would being on the floor above it, about ten feet away suffice?)
-
@yzzy the most plausible scenario for your roomating “needing” wifi is that xer doesnt actually need it, xer just doesnt care enough about your opinion and feelings to run an ethernet cable to their desktop computer.

@yzzy yo there is this 5g/EMF blocking paint. I forget what it’s called but Linus tech tips made a video about it. I am in a similar situation next to a smart meter so I plan to buy the pain soon.
Just search up 5g blocking paint worearmor
You paint a coat of it (it’s black paint) and then paint over it.
It works because of graphene or something -
@gg12 thanks here it is:

16 oz is 30-40$ and a 1.5 gallon bucket is 230$ or something like that.
What about silver paint? I read that on this forum I think. Then it wouldn’t need to be painted over the way black needs to be. It might also be cheaper.

@16characterstwas That's an interesting question that I don't have a straight answer to. Probably there is a point at which the gains from keeping it far away would be offset by the fact that your client devices would have to transmit more powerfully and more often to communicate with the base station (which is why cell phones, esp next to your head, are much worse for you than cell towers, BTW). I don't have the levels for what signal strengths can cause biological harm memorized unfortunately.
Also, with wifi you have to discard some of your intuitions about sound waves for example being somewhat blocked by floors. Think of materials like drywall as (muted) glass (from the perspective of microwave), rather than blockers.
Additionally, I would also think, perhaps contrary to expectation, that more modern WiFi protocols would be better about wasting airtime, instead doing more with compression on client and access point CPUs. Somewhat similar to how cell phones on airplane mode are actually some of the lowest EMF computers that there are, it's not the case that modern technology is inherently doing a lot of EMF pollution, as pollution is also wasteful from a battery life perspective etc.
Most of the Peaty stuff like limiting PUFA, and using caffeine and sugar, will also offer some biological radioprotection.
all the best

@16characterstwas as long as the router is about 7 feet away from your bedroom you should be completely fine, use this video for reference: Youtube Video

@Rah1woot Thanks. At least I’m guzzling a lot of caffeine and sugar.
-
@peatolish Thanks.I’ll watch and experiment.

Sure. It would be odd if he, assuming EMF exposure is harmless, preferred a wired connection to using WiFi. Why “xer” ?
