Headache when near wifi router

[villageidiotY2K]

Hi folks, these days i notice when im near the router i get this tingling headache.

And when i distance myself from the router i feel way better.

Ive google some cases and seems its the cause of electro magnetic field? 

Have anyone have similar cases as mine and what do you do to solve it?

because in case of my home, wifi is set up infront of the tv and quite difficult to switch locations

I had the same, moved the modem a few meters => ok

Btw. In the modem you can set the strenght of the signal ...

To verify whether it is the router, have you tried switching it off instead of distancing yourself?

The output power of the transmitter is a few milliwatt.

yeah i also switched the router off and headache seems to calm down. i do not have any other electronics near the tv.

does putting the wife in the drawer would block some of its waves? i dont think that would effect with the internet though.

Not the router's fault 

Ditch the paranoia, your affliction is psychosomatic.

As the Thais would say:

You think too much!

It's a known fact that loads of Electromagnetic Radiation comes off the Wi-Fi router. I bought a USD300 meter to check, and if I am within 5 meters of the router, the lights go from green to red and all the bells and whistles go off. If one is exposed to that for several hours per day, it will dramatically affect one's health. My desktop is connected to the internet by ethernet cable, and I use a wired mouse and keyboard. My meter gives me a safe reading that way. Ditch the Wi-Fi, and if you go with wired components, make sure you disable, not just disconnect, the Wi-Fi on your computer, else it will be sending out EMF waves looking for a connection all day.

Put your router in another room and use a wifi enhancer instead in the sitting room.

Good response....and agree.....but shouldn't that last line read.....You tink too mutt?

The OP is the main reason why I use my neighbour's WIFI

Put a sausage next to it, it will absorb the stray energy and it'll cook for free.

No but it might stop the wife nagging you and giving you that headache!

I concur with that post above from @fittobethaied.

 

I, too, bought an EMF meter.

Lights go red anywhere near the Wi-Fi router.

 

Turned off Wi-Fi in the router and connected computer by Ethernet wire cable.

Much better!

 

Be sure to buy good quality Ethernet cable or it may also leak EMF radiation.

And have poor transmission speed.

Most Ethernet cable sold retail in Thailand is Chinese garbage.

But good cable is available, just must pay the rpice.

Trust science?

 

The Effects of Exposure to Low Frequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Treatment of Migraine Headache: A Cohort Study

 

Findings have indicated that increased usage of mobile phones may be concomitant with higher rate of headache attacks due to the low radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF). The aim of this study was to determine the effects of low RF-EMF on the treatment outcome in migraine patients.

Electrohypersensitivity (EHS) is believed to be triggered by electronic devices but has no scientific proof. Symptoms may happen due to other disorders or beliefs about electromagnetic fields. Treatment may include therapy, environmental changes, or treating underlying conditions.

 

In a 2018 study, people with self-diagnosed EHS were exposed to EMFs from mobile and radio systems, as well as sham (fake) signals. The participants reported more symptoms when they thought each station was on — which suggests they were unable to tell when they were exposed to EMFs.

yes because too many times cannot connect to Internet and makes me headache

what kind of effect does EMF radiation have on humans? Neurogical effect?

wifi and strong internet signals are quite a new tech and how would ppl know there arent any side effects, im a bit worried tbh

in reality i do feel the pressure in me head when im nearthe wifi and im better when im away from the trasmitting signals

 

but im not convinced there yet to yield those lan cables from room to room...

The WiFi Enhancer simply amplifies the signal from your Router to be just as strong in the rest of your area.

As a professional RF (radio frequency) engineer, I would appreciate if you could substantiate the utter <deleted> that you've written above..... such as 'loads of electromagnetic radiation', 'it will dramatically affect one's health',

 

A quick Google for the actual power density....

 

The RF power density of a typical Wi-Fi router is usually very low, ranging from around 0.001 to 3.302 W/m², with an average measurement often falling between 0.390 W/m². This means that the radiation emitted from a router is considered very weak, and the power density significantly decreases with distance from the router

Who sold you the meter, was it a rival Router company?
