Is it bad to cover a modem?

Ultimately, it could cause your router to overheat. Even if your router doesn’t overheat, tucking it away may slow down your connection. Just make sure that the modem or router has at least 4 inches (10 centimeters) of clearance on each side to give it good air flow.

Is it bad to have WiFi router next to bed?

It is safe to sleep next to a wireless router as it produces radio waves that, unlike X-rays or gamma rays, do not break chemical bonds or cause ionisation in humans. These waves also deteriorate rapidly, losing their strength as they travel away from the router.

What is a safe distance from a modem?

The minimum safe distance as shown in our video, is between 15 to 20 feet. The Austrian Medical Association, The International Institute of Building Biologists, The BioInitiative Report and The FCC all have exposure guidelines.

Where should I place my modem?

Choose a central location in your home, and up off of the floor. This brings your devices closer to your router when trying to connect. Keep your modem router visible and out in the open. Don’t put it inside or behind cabinets or furniture, and make sure the modem router vents are not blocked to prevent overheating.

Does it matter where I put my modem?

Your modem’s location doesn’t matter as much as your router. A modem usually hangs out near your main network jack. Most people keep their modem and router near each other for convenience, but that doesn’t have to be the case.

How can I reduce the radiation exposure from my WiFi router?

Same goes for any wireless device. Double the distance, 75\% less radiation exposure as the signal dissipates. Keep in mind, the opposite is true as well, exposure increases quickly with proximity. So please, put space between you and your WiFi router.

Are Wi-Fi routers dangerous to your health?

WiFi routers and the energy they use to function may not come to mind as a “danger.” But research counters that reputation; it shows if we care about our health, we will re-think our exposure to WiFi and the location of the WiFi in our homes and living spaces. Wireless routers give off electromagnetic radiation (EMR) in the low-gigahertz frequency.

Do WiFi router guards really work?

The problem is, many of these new products are not based on any research, and likely don’t work. However, one product I’ve found that does work, and I’m recommending more and more is a WiFi router guard. Essentially what a router guard is, is a small faraday cage custom built to house a home WiFi router.

Are wirewireless routers safe?

Wireless routers give off electromagnetic radiation (EMR) in the low-gigahertz frequency. This man made, artificial energy is considered potentially dangerous to people by the World Health Organization.
