Users put WiFi routers in cages to shield themselves from radiation, then complain of poor network

India Today  

Coronavirus pandemic brought with it many conspiracy theories. Now, some users are purchasing Faraday cages online and placing their WiFi routers in them to protect themselves from harmful radiation and 5G. People are selling Faraday router shields or guards to place over Wi-Fi routers to block 5G, harmful radiation and claim to keep the signal power down to a safe level. People selling these cages online claim that these cages will shield users from 95 per cent of harmful EMF RF waves and will provide a way to balance the function of routers but keeping EMF signal power down to a safe level. WiFi is not harmful since it works in the same way as all other forms of wireless technology including FM radio, cellular network including 4G and 5G, Bluetooth, TV and air-conditioner remote controls.Moreover, the cages being sold are not well designed because a well-designed cage will reportedly block all WiFi signals.
