Guest guest Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Hello everyone Apologies for not being at the forum for a good while and only posting now but I haven't been at the forum for good reason - i have lost my internet connection and am having to make the transition from dial up (which I could use so kept despite paying through the nose for a very poor service) to broadband - my only problem is it all seems to be done via wireless hubs and things like that. I had hoped to get an adsl voice router from BT ( i think it is called a voyager 220v) which my Dad uses at his house and which I know I can use without too much pain but they don't do this any more and say that in order to get broadband from them I would have to get one of their wireless hubs. I tentatively raised my health concerns about wireless broadband with the guy I spoke to on the phone - he prob thought I was a total nutter - and he said that if I coneected it using the USB cable which is supplied with it and ignored the sim card then that would effectively convert it into wired broadband (as opposed to wireless) and there would not then be any wireless waves in my house. I am embarassed to admit that I am a tech and pc imbecile and am wondering can any of those of you who are tech minded confirm whether the advice he has given me is accurate or not . Also I was wondering can anyone advise me how best to get broadband (in the UK that is) with least problem for electrosensitives?? I am sorry if I am asking something which has already been dealt with elsewhere on the forum but I am emailing from the public library and only have a very limited time on the computer and didn't have time to check the arcjhive.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Hello Steph Good news for you! I assume you are looking at broadband from BT - well, as I've mentioned here before, the OLDER BT Home Hub 2.0 is a nightmare with its built-in DECT phone base station, BUT the great news is that since Feb2011 BT have been delivering the new Home Hub 3.0 which now does NOT have a DECT phone base station built in. I've just put the whole story on BT Home Hubs here: http://theomegaway.com/hub I just bought a BT Home Hub 3.0 off ebay to test this out and it's true - AND the WiFi can actually be disabled easily - I've tested it actually does turn off transmissions with my Electrosmog Detector. AND I've posted comprehensive instructions and pictures of HOW to disable wireless on a Home Hub 3.0 here: http://www.theomegaway.com/How_to_turn_off_Wireless.html So, if you order from BT just make sure it's a Home Hub 3.0 (not 2.0) they send you - I understand that ALL new orders are going out with 3.0, but best to get them to confirm) Don't forget to disable the WiFi on your laptop/pc too! You will then have a broadband that is perfect for sensitives. There are 4 network cable sockets on the back, so you can easily connect several computers - more about all that, and more on the home page: http://theomegaway.com <http://theomegaway.com/> If you have any questions, just reply here, or call me - phone no. is on that website contact page!

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Hi john Thanks for your help and for sending me these links - your site is great! I am wondering about 2 things - firstly my Dad has an old BT ADSL router which they supplied him with when he first got his broadband and then they upgraded him to a newer ADSL version, but didn't take away the old one - do you think would I be able to use that old ADSL if I got BT broadband [and just never bother with their home hub which they will send with the package? secondly - [if I can't use my Dad's old ADSL router and have to use their home hub - even the 3.0 version] while I don;t have a dect phone my next door neighbour (whose house is about 2.5 m away from mine) does have a dect phone - would this mean that the 3.0 BT hub [even with wireless disabled] would be likely to cause me problems? I am sorry if I am asking what are to anyone else very obvious questions, but I am a total tech novice and whatever help or advicwe you can offer would be grwatly appreciated.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Hi Steph, Glad you like the site! It's now www.WaveGoodbye.info <http://www.wavegoodbye.info/> (get it?!?) What model is your dad's old hub? probably a BT Voyager 220V - it's fine, I have used it - it's NOT wifi, only disadvantage really is that it only has one network port, whereas the home hub 3.0 has 4, but if you only want to ever connect one computer, that would be fine (I connected mine into a network hub to be able to then network to more computers). But if you do get a Home Hub 3.0 you might as well use that as already has the four network ports - so long as you follow my instructions for disabling the wifi: http://wavegoodbye.info/How_to_turn_off_Wireless.html No, the home hub 3 will NOT cause problems because of next door's DECT phone, but of course next door's DECT phone (and home hub if the have one) may well cause problems, especially if the walls are not thick or insulated with foil -backed cavity wall blocks. Did you mean that they are in a separate house 2.5m away, or in the same house, but about 2.5m away from you? Are you being affected already?

It's now www.WaveGoodbye.info <http://www.wavegoodbye.info/> (get it?!?) What model is your dad's old hub? probably a BT Voyager 220V - it's fine, I have used it - it's NOT wifi, only disadvantage really is that it only has one network port, whereas the home hub 3.0 has 4, but if you only want to ever connect one computer, that would be fine (I connected mine into a network hub to be able to then network to more computers). But if you do get a Home Hub 3.0 you might as well use that as already has the four network ports - so long as you follow my instructions for disabling the wifi: http://wavegoodbye.info/How_to_turn_off_Wireless.html No, the home hub 3 will NOT cause problems because of next door's DECT phone, but of course next door's DECT phone (and home hub if the have one) may well cause problems, especially if the walls are not thick or insulated with foil -backed cavity wall blocks. Did you mean that they are in a separate house 2.5m away, or in the same house, but about 2.5m away from you? Are you being affected already?

I am wondering about 2 things - firstly my Dad has an old BT ADSL router which they supplied him with when he first got his broadband and then they upgraded him to a newer ADSL version, but didn't take away the old one - do you think would I be able to use that old ADSL if I got BT broadband [and just never bother with their home hub which they will send with the package? secondly - [if I can't use my Dad's old ADSL router and have to use their home hub - even the 3.0 version] while I don;t have a dect phone my next door neighbour (whose house is about 2.5 m away from mine) does have a dect phone - would this mean that the 3.0 BT hub [even with wireless disabled] would be likely to cause me problems? I am sorry if I am asking what are to anyone else very obvious questions, but I am a total tech novice and whatever help or advicwe you can offer would be grwatly appreciated.
