I'll see your anecdote and raise you another one:
A friend's downstairs neighbour regularly complained of 'electromagnetic hypersensitivity'; it got to the point where the building manager asked that my friend stop using wifi entirely. My friend switched her network to 'hidden'. The symptoms disappeared.
Of course, we shouldn't draw conclusions from anecdotal evidence. Perhaps the neighbour was only sensitive to broadcast packets containing SSIDs?
- Drbble 14y agoDoes the neighbor also block out all the harmful EM radiation that floods from sunrise to sunset? If you want to be cruel, mention that cordless phones and microwaves emit at similar frequencies as wifi.
- mukaiji 14y agoCordless phones are actually by far the most powerful radiowave emitter inside a home.
