About WiFi Routers EMF

  • -Your WiFi router is the silent workhorse of modern connectivity, broadcasting radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields 24 hours a day to keep your devices online.
  • -Operating primarily at 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz frequencies, these ubiquitous devices emit the same type of radiation as cell towers and cell phones, just at lower power levels.
  • -What makes routers particularly significant as an EMF source is their constant presence in our homes and offices, often positioned in central locations where we spend the most time.

Your WiFi router is the silent workhorse of modern connectivity, broadcasting radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields 24 hours a day to keep your devices online. Operating primarily at 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz frequencies, these ubiquitous devices emit the same type of radiation as cell towers and cell phones, just at lower power levels.
