      Recently my roomate installed fiber optic cable and a router in our apartment. There is only one Ethernet port hence one possible location for the router. My bedroom is a few feet away from the router. I have concerns about the prolonged EMF exposure. EMF-blocking devices are often prohibitively expensive (e.g., building room-scaled faraday cage). There are issues with the efficacy and setup of these devices. My roommate is not concerned and needs the WiFi for his job. I want to reduce the EMF exposure without

      • disrupting my roomate’s livelihood
      • spending a significant sum of money

      Has anyone solved a similar problem?

        My roommate is not concerned and needs the WiFi for his job.

        This is odd to me. Can't he use an ethernet hookup for his computer instead? Get a router with ethernet ports (maybe $20 if buying used), and use ethernet on that computer. Get an adapter for the PC/macbook/whatever (maybe $10-15) if you need. It's faster and more reliable anyways.

        You can also explore using a 30ft or 50ft ethernet cable ($20?) in order to place the router somewhere else in the apartment. I am guessing that it's your fiber-optic device (ONT) which uses ethernet to talk to your apartment-side router. Due to the inverse square law as well as near-field rate of decay, placing even a bit more distance between you and the unit reduces microwave energy exposure literally exponentially.

        Finally, you can turn off the wifi router at night (when it's clear no one will use it) to reduce needless exposure, this is what I do.

        All the best

        P.S. I am not aware of any product you can buy for this, but it's my theory that something like a lightweight nightcap lined with water would block microwave exposure to the brain, probably better than "tinfoil hats" as well, because it would absorb rather than merely reflect energy. Water lining would probably make a very good block for microwaves at the source directly as well, but obviously this can be problematic, especially if the lining fails and spills onto the electrics.

          @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:

                https://www.google.com/search?q=5g+blocking+paint+worearmor&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari

                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
