How to Reduce EMF Radiation from my Wi-Fi Devices

How to Minimize EMF Radiation from my Wi-Fi Devices

Presently, our technology is primarily based on the Wi-Fi network, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic where everyone has to rely on their computers and home offices to work, and their mobile phones to communicate with friends, colleagues, and loved ones. Therefore, to eliminate Wi-Fi completely from our house is not practical and almost impossible. We must learn to adapt and live smartly with Wi-Fi around us. In this blog, we will recommend several solutions in which people can reduce EMF radiation emitted from their Wi-Fi network and thereby reduce the risks associated with Wi-Fi radiation.  

How to Minimize EMF Radiation from Wi-Fi Network

First of all, you always want to start from the source - the Wi-Fi modem. This device enables communication between the Internet, the computer, and cellular phones. 

When possible, always connect your devices through wires or cables. For devices such as cell phones, notebooks, iPads where you cannot connect through a wire, you will have to find other anti-EMF radiation solutions which will be explained later. 

Solution 1 - The Location of your Wi-Fi Modem

Place the model in a spot that’s far enough from you, In our opinion, locate at least 15 meters away from you. This distance can be adjusted according to how strong your Wi-Fi signal is, the further you are from the modem the weaker the reception, so as long as your reception is good then you know the location of the modem is fine. Never put the modem near you, in your bedroom, near or under the bed.

Solution 2 -  Adjust your Wi-Fi settings

Most modems allow you to change your settings so you can control the EMF radiation transmission. From our experience, the Wi-Fi modem comes with a software program where you can adjust the signal in the settings so you can manage the signal levels of your modem. In most of the cases, reducing the Wi-Fi transmission signal level to 40%, will be strong enough to receive Wi-Fi signal at home, with fewer negative effects on your health. 

In this YouTube video, you will learn how to manage and measure the RF levels of your Wi-Fi modem. We used the HF-B3G, a RF meter which is an excellent EMF radiation detector designed for measuring and monitoring Radio Frequency (RF) electromagnetic field strength and is capable of measuring the frequency range of 50MHz~3.5GHz. 

As you can see in the video when you adjust the signal strength on the computer, the radiation levels drop to a safer level. Furthermore, when you turn off the Wi-Fi completely, your levels will drop even more and at the most optimal radiation levels. 

Solution 3 - Turn off the Wi-Fi modem when you don’t need it & when you are going to bed at night

When you don’t need to use your Wi-Fi, turn it off, especially at night time when you are ready for bed. Nowadays, some Wi-Fi routers support scheduled turn offs at night, where you can schedule a time you want the router to automatically turn off. Another way to turn off your router is to install a mechanical timer that you can plug into a wall outlet. All you have to do is set the time that you want the router to be off for, and the mechanical timer will disconnect power from your router, and reconnect in the morning.

In rare situations where Wi-Fi is not required, and the modem doesn’t have the ability to turn off, you can, if possible, put a shielding fabric such as the FL100 in front of the modem in order to reduce the EMF radiation levels.  

The FL100 is a compact woven, heavy metalized polyester netting for the protection against high-frequency radiation (HF) and low-frequency electric fields (LF). This professional product with 100 dB attenuation has been tested and is typically used for ministries of defense, banking houses, laboratories, etc. This fabric will act as an EMF radiation blocker for the modem.

The Correct Use of Wireless Devices: Cell Phones, Laptops, Notebooks..etc

Solutions for Cellular Phones

If possible, you should always use 3G on your cell phones and turn off your Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Enable Wi-Fi only when needed, never put your phone to your ears. To avoid putting your phone to your ears, you can either put it on speaker mode or use the WOREMOR EchoTubeZ Radiation-Free Air Tube headset that allows you to enjoy your movies, videos, and music unplugged from radiation with hollow air-tubes. Moreover, you can take calls on your smartphone so you can walk around and talk on your smartphone with great sound quality, free of cords, and most importantly, free of radiation!

The WOREMOR Protection Pouch has high-end components that help reduce up to 90% of cellular radiation. This pouch has an extra-strong magnet to help secure your device in place. It is easy to install on the belt and easy to take off.

The WOREMOR Protection card acts as an EMF radiation sticker that buffers between you and your cellphone while it's in the pocket and reduces the cellular radiation that is emitted by your mobile device.

Solutions for Laptops & Notebooks

If you cannot connect your Laptops and Notebooks using an Ethernet cable and must use Wi-Fi, then make sure you don’t place your laptop directly on you, always have a barrier between your laptop and your skin. 

In this situation, we recommend using the WOREMOR Lap Desk. This lap desk EMF radiation shield is designed to be simple and functional. It effectively reduces radiation from laptops to your laps. By simply placing this protective lap desk under your favorite computer device, you can keep enjoying the benefits of modern technology.

Similarly, you can use the WOREMOR Radiation Laptop Tray which is a specialized radiation shield that reduces harmful EMF radiation emitted by your laptop. As independent tests made by certified laboratories around the world have proved, this laptop tray reduces both Low Frequency (LF) as well as Radio Frequency (RF) Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) emissions. 

Lastly, the Lap Blanket is created from specialized materials designed to reduce harmful radiation emitted from laptops towards the covered area, and is custom-sewn to prevent any gaps which the EMF radiation may slip through.
