Given recent research into using WiFi to “see” through walls or at the very least track what humans are doing in a space, I would argue we should go in the opposite direction. I’m pretty happy with my current house and adversarial-to-WiFi cement walls. Sure, I had to run some cable and buy enough access points for about 3x the amount of square feet of my house (if you go by the advertised specs) but this is a one-time investment that is pretty small in the grand scheme of home-related things.
- sokoloff 3y agoThe wire might be one-time per 30 years. (The Cat-5 spec is only ~28 years old.) The APs are going to get replaced more than once a decade I think. We’ve been in our place 16 years and I’m on the third generation of APs, one Netgear that I moved here with, a set of UAC-AC-Pros, and a set of UAC-U6-LRs.
- georgelyon 3y agoSure, “very infrequently recurring” may be a more accurate label than “one time”
- engineer_22 3y agoAFAIK the wifi "see through walls" exploit requires an array of wifi routers. Even in lab conditions the imaging capabilities seem... aspirational. An adversary would be well served to stick to other forms of surveillance
