WiFi from other homes: possible mitigations? measurements?

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

Thank you for a wonderful group. I am a new member, and have looked through the

old posts to find answers, so please pardon me if you've already addressed these

issues.

(1) I am being severely affected by WiFi signals coming from neighbors' homes.

(I see at least 10 signals on my computer.) I have tried talking with them, to

see if they would at least turn off their WiFi at night - no luck. What other

mitigations are possible? (I realize that I am probably going to have to move -

but how do I survive in the meantime?)

(2) I'd like a way to measure the EMFs around a house, before I move into it. I

have a Tri-Field meter already, but it evidently doesn't pick up WiFi signals.

What would you recommend?

Please e-mail me directly at anne.steinemann@... with your responses.

Many thanks,

Anne Steinemann

No the Trifield is nowhere near sensitive enough. The specs for it say

it starts detecting microwaves at 6 V/m which you may notice is at the

top of the Acoustimeter's scale. Gotta be practically on top of the

transmitter to measure that high.

I can pick up wifi on the Acoustimeter, and even the Cornet, although

only at much smaller distances. The most sensitive way to detect wifi is

with the Canary Hotspotter, or with a computer, like you are already

doing. You can pick up 10 signals, that is a lot for the sensitive, but

not very many in urban places.

Just be careful to not transmit yourself, or it will compound the

problem you are experiencing.

Take care,

I have more on my page, if you havn't already found it.

ps. I'm almost ready to announce the EMR DVD I have been working on. The

link is next to the bottom of the page, if you're interested.

Move, or get better. :-)

For comparison, I now pickup 24 local wi-fi signals from my house.

But I do live in the city...

A laptop computer will give you an indication of how strong these

signals are, either with 1-5 " bars " , or the software I'm using

shows the signals in " dB " .

Hi Marc

What software do you use that displays the signal in dB?

Thanks

It's the software that came with my external USB wi-fi modem,

manufactured/sold by TP-LINK.

For those that need to use wi-fi while on a trip, the best

way to do that is to have an external USB modem and a long

USB extension cord, keeping the wi-fi signals away from

you.

If the neighbors are friendly, suggest they look into

turning down the signal strength... it should improve their

security and reduce chances of them having bioeffects.

It was reported on this group that a computer turned from 10 to 1

did not hurt Wi-Fi functionality but did reduce symptoms.

In most cases it is not obvious how to adjust this setting, so

be patient.

A foil barrier may be worth trying though I've not heard

of actual success with this. Putting some foil over the

antenna in a ball may have similar effect as reducing signal

strength.
