The modern state of Wi-Fi

[SirStephen]

At home, I have a 1G wired network. I do use WiFi for a tablet that controls my home theater system, but the access point is in my HTPC - which is not on all the time. I prefer the wired network, and need only basic speed for the tablet.

WiFi, to me, is a convenience elsewhere, and nothing I cannot live without.

Same here. In our house WiFi is only used for things that don't have a wired connection available (pretty much only tablets), everything else is gigabit ethernet. Not having WiFi wouldn't be the end of the world.

As expected, absolutely ZERO mention of health effects. Especially with the much feared 5G. Ditch the WiFi where possible and go wired.

Negative health effects of wireless communications have never been found...

interested; are you on 240v ~50 service, non-domestic?

240v 60h domestic, I live in Brazil.

Well, that does not mean that they will not be. There are studies showing that cell phone use sometimes causes harm. Humanity has a tendency to do things and then find out much later that some of those things are causing harm.

Just like a radiologist (aka the xray tech) has an exposure over time problem - - RF acts the same way.

Absolutely!
