WLAN radiation protection – Background

Mobile phone and WLAN radiation is said to be harmful, but avoiding it is better than shielding yourself from it. This is what diagnose:funk, the environmental and consumer organization, recommends. Concrete suggestions for parents are to make their children’s corona-related distance learning as low-radiation as possible, i.e. to use wired devices. The same recommendations for protection apply to employees who are currently working from home.

W-LAN in the apartment

An active WLAN router in the home is similar to a personal transmitter mast for dangerous radiation in the living space. This makes protection from this radiation all the more important. The wired LAN, or connection via network cable, makes it possible to avoid the radiation from the WLAN. This is much more efficient than shielding against this radiation. For this purpose, diagnose:funk has published a practical guide: https://www.diagnose-funk.org/publikationen/artikel/detail&newsid=1542

WLAN radiation

The most important points for protection from the guidelines for reducing WLAN radiation / electrosmog are:

  • Always use a wired connection for Internet access.
  • Switch off WLAN completely on all devices if it is not being used.
  • Never set up the router close to common areas or bedrooms.
  • Only activate WLAN as long as it is actually being used.
  • Always switch off WLAN at night. In some cases, this can be defined individually via the router settings.
  • Connect printer and TV via USB or network cable.
  • Configure the WLAN router so that it can work with the necessary minimum radiation intensity.
    • Use a network cable for devices that are far away from the router
    • Alternatively, a LAN connection to distant WLAN devices can be established via the power socket
    • WLAN protection with adapter for socket outlet
  • Avoidance or reduction of smart home devices integrated into the WLAN, such as thermostats for radiators, ceiling lights and alarm systems, or use of these devices without a wireless connection.
  • Either switch off mobile devices if they are not needed or switch them to flight mode.
  • Use of analog teaching materials such as digitally transferred printed worksheets. For elementary school in particular, but also for middle schools, the analog provision of teaching materials and worksheets is still recommended.
  • In principle, most of the points about WLAN also apply to Bluetooth radiation. This is usually found with
    • Wireless keyboard / mouse
    • Headphones / headset
    • Microphone / Webcam
    • Loudspeaker

How can I protect myself from WLAN radiation?

Advantages Reduction / protection WLAN radiation

“If you’re going to work from home/distance learning, then keep it low-radiation,” recommends Jörn Gutbier, Chairman of diagnose:funk, to parents and employees. “For years, doctors, biologists and neurologists have been citing many clear indications that WLAN radiation is both harmful to health and noticeably impairs learning behavior. Practical experience also shows this. If you want to do something good for yourself and your child in the current difficult learning situation at home, switch off the Wi-Fi for protection and reduce the time spent in front of the screen on a wired computer to a minimum. Children need the real world to learn about the real world.” This approach is also recommended for employees working from home. This helps to maintain good concentration and a high quality of work in the long term.

The background to diagnose:funk’s recommendation to rely on a wired solution when learning at home, switch off the Wi-Fi and put the smartphone aside is the available scientific studies on health risks and learning difficulties. See also:
