How to Protect Your Families from the Radioactive Wi-Fi Router

Currently, there are different ways to build a home network. And almost most families would connect an extra Wi-Fi router even if they already have a wired internet so that they can use their mobile devices anywhere in the house. To do this, you need to not only properly install and configure the Wi-Fi router, but also pay attention to the radiation that the device may cause. As we all known, the radiation always does harm to the central nervous system of the human brain. So, what should you do to minimize the harmful radiation and protect your families’ health?

How Harmful the Radiation from Wi-Fi Routers Is

As already mentioned above, radiation from the Wi-Fi router does have some irritant effect on the central nervous system of the human brain. It is manifested in fatigue, irritability, headaches and insomnia, which arise as a result of oversized electromagnetic background. The radiation frequency is at 2.4 GHz, which approximately equals to the frequency of the microwave oven, but still a few thousand times less.

4 Tips for Minimize the Radiation and Protect Your Families’ Health

Firstly, if the Internet is not used when you are at home, Wi-Fi router should be disconnected to the power supply. Sleeping next to the activated access point is not recommended, let alone working at a very close distance from it.

Secondly, if Wi-Fi is on the phone, it should either be included as appropriate or not to keep constantly beside it. Especially, you and your families had better not sleep with the included source signal by placing the phone on the next pillow. As for the fixed Wi-Fi router, it is desirable to be placed in the middle of the apartment. You should try to choose a place which is the most distant from the places your families most often stay at.

Thirdly, you can adjust the transmission power of the routers. It is not necessary to put on the most powerful level to get the best signal. An average signal level would be enough for your routine use.

Finally, you can use a WIFI Router Box to insulate the radiation. The anti-radiation WiFi antenna boxes can absorb the electromagnetic radiation and then convert it into heat energy consume, which would not cause the second pollution. They reduce the radiation by up to 94.4%, and would not affect the signal negatively.

How to Choose a Wi-Fi Wireless Network Adapter?

The adapter wireless network or WiFi adapter is a special device that allows you to make a wireless signal from the router, access point, repeater, or any other device that broadcasts the Internet data transmission in this way. Without WiFi network adapter, you cannot get to turn the computer on your local wireless network. So how should you select an excellent and suitable Wi-Fi wireless network adapter? There are some tips as following.

1. Firstly, you need to choose an USB WiFi adapter that supports the latest data transfer standard.
2. Secondly, you need to pay attention to the power receiving antenna USB adapter.
3. A good feature is the presence of a connector for an external antenna. They are either already complete or fashionable to buy separately.

5. Support various connection modes, for example, not only from the access point to the client, but Ad-Hoc (Client-Client).
6. Various additional features.

In accordance with the above characteristics, you can already figure out what models to choose. As I said before, USB WiFi adapter is more versatile and is suitable not just for desktop but also for perhaps tablet or TV. In principle, for the house, if you have a router located next to a table, you can choose any preferences only for firms and additional features such as support for applications such as prioritization of multimedia or technology automatically configuring the WPS connection settings.
