Guest guest Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Thought id let you know which detetector I ended up getting.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Hi, just curious (might get one myself): How strong is the signals in your house? Have you compared the strength in your house to the strength in a place that you know for sure have a strong signal, or a hotspot? (Like near a wireless router.) Do you find the signal strength to be correct (not in exact numbers, but relatively, comparing different places)? Regards, . > > Thought id let you know which detetector I ended up getting.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 It gives you the number of differing wifi outputs , identifying each by its unique name and intensity ( up to 300 ft) so it is possible to see which neighbour is on at any given time. It gives strengths in terms of a bar system. I walked around the neighbourhood last night , and in some places there were up to 15 high intensity(4 bars) unique signals in front of one house, 9 wifi signals at the bottom of my road, three outside my house , I can pick up 2 in my bedroom- no wonder im having difficulty sleeping. scary really From: johnottawa80 <johnottawa80@...> Subject: Re: Wi fi detectors..

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 - havent compared the intensity to a known wifi spot as yet , the intensity in my room is around 3 bars.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 There are some that are (somewhat) directional. With this one you couldprobably tell direction because your body blocks some of the signal.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hi Ada  Does this mean that your problems are with someone nearby you using a wireless broadband router?? I was at my brother's office a while ago and he has some sort of BT broadband wireless router thing - I was standing about 3 feet away from it and it literally felt like a part of my brain was being cooked - quite painfully so - and he sits beside the thing all day every day and appears to suffer no ill effects! Are there any parts of your hosue that are unaffected by the channels where you could try to avoid? completely ridiculous though that anyone should have to skulk around in their own home just to find a spot where they aren't being harmed!  By the way - I have been given a date for my surgery - it is next Friday [27 Feb] so if you would think of me then I'd appreciate it so much - I am dreading it but trying to be positive in that if the offending bit comes out maybe I will feel a little better. Here's hoping I will be able to post again soon.  Best wishes  Steph From: betty_starbuckle <betty_starbuckle@...> Subject: Wi fi detectors..

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 ... in my diary , ill hold you in my thoughts for next week. As to the wifi its quite alarming really , i went for my morning walk yesterday and took it with me doing measurements on the way. On a one hour walk , there was not one area where there wasnt at least one wifi detectable. Every one has it !!- Any way thinking of you, goodluck- and be well.  Ada From: betty_starbuckle <betty_starbuckle@ .co. uk> Subject: Wi fi detectors.. groups (DOT) com Date: Tuesday, 17 February, 2009, 10:37 AM Thought id let you know which detetector I ended up getting.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Thanks Ada That means a lot to me. You are a star. Re the wifi - doesn't really surprise me that there is such saturation coverage - if only they could devise a way of allowing people the same level of access which wasn't so harmful. Keep hoping!  Best wishes  Steph From: betty_starbuckle <betty_starbuckle@ .co. uk> Subject: Wi fi detectors.. groups (DOT) com Date: Tuesday, 17 February, 2009, 10:37 AM Thought id let you know which detetector I ended up getting.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 PS - How are things with you at the minute? Is your sleep badly disrupted with the wifi beams hitting your bedroom?
