Don’t forget to do seperate 2ghz and 5ghz SSIDS…oh and guest networks
Naming them can also have big effects on the illness. Satan’s private porn wifi 5ghz Jesus private onlyfans wifi 2ghz
Necronomiconnect always gets a cackle from me.
But you can be a bastard.

Wi-Fi Sickness? Bruh, where on this planet are you not going to be surrounded by it? There’s satellite linked internet projecting Wi-Fi to rural areas as we type.
You can go to the tallest mountain on this planet away from everything and you might just be giving yourself a better signal to Starlink.
Wi-Fi Sickness I looked it up, it’s mostly idiopathic and it’s not a scientifically valid sickness. It’s oddly enough more attributed to negative expectations and thinking that Wi-Fi is more harmful than it is and can give the brain a preconceived notion, that messes with perception of danger and that can cause anxiety WHICH causes the feeling of feeling sick.
So basically, it’s not real and the person needs therapy and the person giving in to the paranoid/anxious delusion of Wi-Fi sickness should put their parenting pride aside and take them to a therapist.
Or stepping outside and being bombarded by all the signals out there. The sun being one of them.
Typically, consumer ovens work around a nominal 2.45 gigahertz (GHz) – a wavelength of 12.2 centimetres (4.80 in) in the 2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz ISM band

Anon doesn’t need an entire router or WAP, just an old microwave they can pull a magnetron out of.

> oh shitYeah, do not microwave the neighbours.
You can actually hurt someone with microwave-level RF, as in, cause permanent damage and fry someone’s retinas quite easily, so don’t unless you know what you are doing.
Oh. No I don’t want to do that. How? How specifically? So I know what to never do?
IIRC, this explains defense against RF crowd control and thus kinda also how its made.

Half the neighbourhood caught fire
And yet somehow it can’t cook my food evenly.
Then eat more retinas?
It’s not about the wifi, it’s the perception of wifi.
These people get upset when they think there’s wifi, actual wifi is irrelevant. You can gut a router and fit the case with an AA battery and an LED and they’ll have ‘symptoms’ if they see it.
Set up an access point to broadcast dozens of SSIDs so they see tons of wifi when they open the wifi screen on their phones.
Yup, this is the way. Get a cheap ESP32 or something and put several hundred SSIDs on it. There is no way they are looking at the spectrum itself.
My aunt used to get these terrible itches and headaches when she visits us, untill I turn off the wifi.
Some minor experimenting has lead me to a breakthrough though. I found she’s not allergic to wifi, but to green indicator LEDs. Ever since I disabled the LED, her problems have been solved!
My husband won’t let me tell her though. Something about “live and let live”.
What? How would that even work? Green LEDs emit the same spectrum that the sun does a million times over. And TVs and LED lighting emit the same thing.
Wooosh
im pretty sure they meant alergic to green leds as in the person placebos themself into itchyness and headaches from thinking the wifi is on, and off leds means they think wifi is off
I think they’re implying that the aunt is sick only when she can visually confirm that the moden/router is on.
Open the wifi on their phones
Then, they’re hypocrites.
No, he only gets sick when you use wifi, not when he does
Ah, a classic case of Munchausen by proxyserver.
Instead of 100 mW WiFi, he uses >1W for 4G/5G, with higher frequencies (bigger energies per photon) as well! Great Success!
I think that’s true, and that’s why this person should put a fake 5G mast on the roof facing the new neighbour.
You don’t use wifi cause you believe it gives you wifi cancer.
I don’t use wifi cause a $6 ethernet cable gives me faster and more dependable internet.
We are definitely not the same.The $25 USB-C to ethernet adapter for my phone and constantly stumbling over the cable I’m dragging around gets a bit inconvenient at times though.
Skill issue.
OSI network layer-8 issue
What if you have rectal cancer after years of inserting a ethernet cable int your ass for more dependable orgasms?
He said Internet, not intercourse.
Latency and reliability I can see, but at this point the bandwidth has become pretty immense that I would have a hard time saturating it.
I wired up my office, and when I speed tested it, the shitty Ethernet adapter in my USB-C dock was slightly slower than just using wifi.
I had a similar experience moving into a new apartment that had ethernet sockets in all the walls. Took me a while to realize that the cables connecting the sockets up were oldschool Cat5 (100Mbps max) cable, so even though I was plugging Cat6a into the wall it didn’t do a lick of good. Wi-Fi 6 on the other hand is giving me a little under 1Gbps.
You can pretty reliably pull 1G with cat 5 over household distances (10m or so). More likely it’s the equipment limiting the speed.
Ridiculous claim aside, if they want a solution they should be setting up like a chicken wire Faraday cage, not making this everyone else’s problem.
I hate people like this because their son could really be sick with something, but they’ve decided it is the WiFi and they aren’t getting him the care he needs. Woowoo people I swear.
Maybe there’s a gamma emitting test source in the walls…
Maybe just in the child’s room then, also you might want to ground that Faraday cage if they have anything that could be transmitting WiFi or Bluetooth or even is just a large screen.
Also it needs to be a fine mesh because for blocking 5GHz WiFi you want the hole size to be a 1/20 of the wavelength which comes out to >4mm.
Or an even cheaper solution would be to get one of those large “pet” cages and run a wire straight into the earth hole of a power socket.
You theoretically don’t “need” to ground a faraday cage if you want to block RF. I would do it anyway though.
You’re kinda right about the wavelength thing, but tinfoil would absolutely take care of it.
Two layers if you’re cautious. Separated by some thin non conductive layer, except connected at one point. To the better faraday cage.
The Faraday cages I used to use in a lab testing RF devices, used copper screen.
https://www.metroscreenworks.com/rolls-of-screen-all-types/pure-copper-screen/
This is actually really nice.
Even if human rf sensitivity were real, tin foil would work.
You’re sharing actual faraday cage material.
Real EE stuff. Probably better than the cage material that I know that lines MRI rooms.
Tinfoil works quite well, after aluminium has pretty good conductivity. The problem is not leaving any gaps that are too big in any direction, or you just build a slit antenna by accident.
Yeah, it was some crazy stuff. We used to do mobile handsets, GPS, WiFi and other consumer electronics testing.
We’ve be locked in cages like - https://engineering.ssl.berkeley.edu/faraday-cage/
A tinfoil hat is a portable solution.
Copper wire works better I hear
You mean the wire in Flock cameras, right?
I’m doing this when we’re out of wifi channels
Everyone knows WiFi routers generate phlogiston which unbalances the 4 humors and causes brain clouds.
Stop your bullshit fear mongering. We all know phlogiston is perfectly safe. The real problem is that 5g draws in miasma from local cemeteries.
You might want to be careful calling people out like that: it’s not solved science.
I can remember people confidently arguing (and citing sources) that phlogiston is the problem and the miasma theory is quackery. Seems like every year we learn something new and it goes back and forth. “Are eggs healthy or not?”, “Do crystals work via homeopathy or latent energies?”, “Lizard people or greys?” etc.
Personally, I sidestep the issue and avoid both. I stick to things that have been settled as being healthy: like drinking massive quanties of colloidal silver.
This is why it’s not economical to keep burying the dead in large fields like graveyards. All the pastureized miasma is not healthy! We need raw miasma like in the French catacombs. Why do you think they saw a renaissance?
Ironically, Pasteur was French.
Pastureized sent me
I’ve been saying this for years. A properly balanced body should contain equal parts blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and cemetery dust. Anything else is a nutritional deficiency.
How come nobody is even talking about orogone?
Ask them what bandwidth range they claim he’s sensitive to. Show them the level of background electromagnetic energy there is in that range anywhere on Earth by default, if they can even provide an answer to that. Suggest they should leave Earth.
Suggest they should leave Earth.
If I knew of a way off this rock, do you think I’d let them enjoy it LMAO
It’s up, obviously.
Realistically, it’s technically sideways. To reach orbit you need to go sideways, not up. Theoretically you could escape Earth’s gravity influence by going straight away from it, but it’s not the realistic way that works.
Actually, you go up. Then the earth rotates beneath you, turning your up into sideways.
Just realised the avatar pic is Egg from This Life and Frank Castle dressed as strippers.
Maybe I’m getting whoosh’d, but isn’t that just from AMC’s The Walking Dead?
A few years back got some new neighbors. This is in rural TX, everybody has at least one acre of land. There is plenty of room to just fuck off and mind their own business.
Anyway, new neighbor comes over and demands I quit using my smoker because it bothers his wife. We laugh him off the property lol.
He calls the cops throwing a fit and eventually got his dumbass arrested for disorderly conduct.
They moved away shortly thereafter, we still laugh about it around the neighborhood.
@Texas_Hangover@lemmy.radio I don’t know what a smoker is, but I presume it… gives off smoke?
If said wife is asthmatic I can imagine how it could bother her. Smoke does seriously affect people with lung diseases.
Of course, that doesn’t give anyone the right to demand anything. But it may help understand where they’re coming from 🤷
(1) 1 acre is 4,047m^2. If it were a perfect square it would have a edge length of 64m (209ft). This means that the houses are separated by about that distance.
(2) Asking a Texan to not smoke meat on their own property will get you laughted at regardless of context. Texas.
Some people have smokers even in suburban homes. These guys had an acre of land between them. There’s no way a smoker would have produced enough smoke to bother her, especially if she just stayed inside.
It’s for smoking meat, but it does not put off an objectionable amount of smoke. There was no mention of asthma, (wouldn’t have made any difference mind you) I think they were just ridiculously entitled 🤣
It probably smelled too good and was making them hungry lmfao, but if it were me I would have said “Can I throw a couple bucks at you and have you smoke some extra for me next time you do this?”
Hell yeah, I will happily cook any meat people bring me lol. You ain’t gotta pay me, just let me quality test a few bites 🤣
Can I be your neighbour!?!
You’re not a real network! “Family of Wireless Network Protocols”, for Christ’s sake? An unwired connection? What a joke! I worked my ass off to ping where I am! And you take these shortcuts and you think suddenly you’re my peer-connection? You do what I do because you’re convenient and you can make people laugh on their phone? I committed my WAN port to this! You don’t slide into it like a cheap router and then reap all the rewards!
Neighbor after anon plugs in new router:
There are forms of electro-sensitivity that can disturb people, but usually it’s from loud and poorly phased circuits in homes. Never wifi.
A lot of errie/haunted buildings are actually just electrically loud, and a number of them become peaceful once the wiring is fixed.

I knew someone who claimed to get migraines from being near devices but way less if their is a cactus right next to the device.
Scientifacly its a myth and makes no sense but i knew them good enough that they really suffered from migraines and really believed the cacti helped.
Anecdotally i heard of a family that had to move because one of their kids developed head aches after a new cell tower was put up.
I have yet to see a proper blind study. As in, opaque box with wifi router that is randomly turned on or off, and someone has to tell if it is on or off without knowing. Especially at wifi levels.
Is this related to the ghost tone?
Both can be true. The electrical noise just makes it easier for them to be heard.
Edit: I did not think I needed an /s for this…
Fuck do you mean “both”? Like the houses are actually haunted? Or wifi actually makes people sick?
One of the makes you fun crazy, the other makes you lead paint crazy.
Anon wants a point to point directional antenna. Focuses the radio beam in one direction.
Back in the days of LAN parties if the host had shitty/no internet I’d bring an old DirectTV dish with a usb 802.11b wifi dongle zip-tied to the transducer.
It worked great for stealing wifi from any unsecured AP within 2 miles we had line of sight on.
All you really need is any old router you can flash custom firmware on. Wifi signal strength radio waves are fcc regulated to be no more than 1w (30 dBm) but routers are physically capable of much more, so with a custom firmware, you can crank that sucker up higher than anything new and high end off the store shelves.
Why did they limit to that level? I would like to try this, but I assume the FCC had a good reason to limit it
EDIT: found this page https://infishark.com/blogs/learn/wifi-transmit-power-limits-by-region that says the US has the highest limits already
Not why the FCC cares but WiFi systems stop broadcasting if they can even slightly hear another broadcaster on the channel. If everyone broacasts as loud as possible WiFi speeds would be absolutely awful. So to get good speeds everyone should ideally broadcast as quietly as possible. This is one of the reasons for 5ghz WiFi: the propagation distance is terrible.
