Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Hmm, I'm not quite sure what you're getting at; I mean, with WiFi, the issue is the radiated signal. Ferrites are used on cables, to prevent conducted emissions from traveling along them (am I correct, everyone?). That being said, I have seen some ferrites made specifically for the 2.4-ish Ghz WiFi frequencies. But wouldn't it make more sense not to use WiFi, or to shield the WiFi router itself in a cage/box or wrap the antennas in something conductive? (Sorry if I'm jumping into another thread related to something else.) R. From: minnimall <minnimall@...> Subject: Ferrite vs. WI-FI? Received: Wednesday, December 30, 2009, 7:00 AM  I'm wondering if there any sort of ferrite protective device vs. WI-FI.. Though maybe if the laptop where you're working is positioned several feet away from the router, such protection wouldn't be needed.. I've zero experience with the above, and haven't found info anywhere which discusses these points.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Yes ferrite bead and torroids among others are mostly used to suppress RF on cables, but they also make ferrite sheets. Even at several feet away youll be geting exposed to the radiation from the wi-fi, remember that wifi units can extend their signal far, plus at close distances youll also be getting the RFI/EMI and AC electrical radiation from the unit itself on top of the actual rf from the wi-fi signal.
