Lower EMF routers

[Judd Crane]

I'm about to buy a new WiFi router and was wondering if someone has a suggestion for a budget friendly router with relative low RF/microwave emissions.

A router with no wifi and an ethernet cable is the only way to go if health is the highest priority. There are adapters for devices that have no ethernet port.

What you can do is to lower signal strength if wifi is really must have for you.

Set the beacon interval in the settings to 1second(1000ms) instead of 100ms which is normally the default. It will send out signals to devices as a metronome instead of blasting 10 times per second. Thats the most important if you want to use wifi.

And of course distance - keep it in a room that you don't go to. If that is not possible - put it in a box and put 1 layer of tin foil around.

Most routers(maybe all) you can turn the wifi on or off by logging into it online. Try to use the ethernet cable most of the time and then turn the wifi on when needed. Might be an option

Don't suppose anyone knows if there are routers or modem/routers that allow one to turn the wifi off manually (via button or switch), while leaving the internet ethernet connection on? I'm hoping to sidestep logging into anything to turn the WiFi off.

I think on most routers you can either turn off the wifi on a button on the unit or in the system interface.

Ok, thanks! Time to go shopping. The one I have right now has to be turned totally off to turn wifi off. And I’ve discovered I feel so much better with Wi-Fi off

These are expensive, but they only pulse once in the time typical ones pulse 10 times, and it has a standby mode where if no one is actively using the network the Wi-Fi simply turns off. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can chime in on whether these are things that can be managed in the settings of a typical router, but this is the one I’m looking at:

JRS Eco 100 D1 on Asus - Low EMF wireless router

This low EMF router has a 90% reduced pulse frequency compared to ordinary wifi routers. And there's more. The unique JRS Eco 100 firmware enables a Full Eco standby mode with measurably zero wifi radiation when no wireless devices are connected. The router switches the…

This is the best router available but with the correct EMF mitigation products EMF is not even a concern anymore.

Thanks so much for that recommendation!

What are the correct EMF mitigation products if you don't mind me asking?

Yeah, interested in your take @charlie . I am using some more woo woo type products at the moment. I think they work well though.
