Put in a few WAPS around the house to ensure that she never stays another night.

Fan, lights, compromise!?!?

"But the router is just a device the government uses to brainwash you!" OR "I aint havin your little bro wake me up at 3am over fortnite"
SkeuomorphicallyInclined
I like the irony of using an image of a man who believe in Zenu.
alecdshope
She can hear the packets chattering. They keep her up at night. Buy her aluminum foil.
NotasbigasmediumsizedJock
My sister in law is a lovely, intelligent woman... Who believes wifi is bad for you. She won't use a microwave either
petras01582
I mean they often have blinking lights. I'd be pretty pissed off if I had to sleep with one.
AbigailLongbottom
I could see the blinky lights being annoying. But covering it would be the response.
barbarian818
and some folks find the flashing lights irksome. I know sure do.
SquatttingDog
Does she also not vaccinate her kids?
Jadielady
Devil’s advocate, maybe the flashy lights bug her?
ObsceneTentacularInsertions
unplug it when you go to bed
mondomar
It’s the light. I put electrical tape over my lights.
TheresAGermanWordForThat
If it's a Cisco router and she's a sysadmin, I'd understand that. That would trigger some really bad nightmares for me.
iamthecanadian
I wouldn't want that thing watching me sleep either
labyrinthconvention
because of the blinky lights??
astrangehop
Trying to work out my raspberry pi, I was deligeted there was an "LED lights off" option in the router settings.
mizmoose
That was my thought, too. They can be creepy when you're trying to sleep in the dark.
jalidi24
I actually have my router in my bedroom, installed by the cable company. Have to throw a blanket over it to cover the lights so I can sleep.
Notnert
Some people need a pitch black room to sleep
Uberdoomer
I am one of those people. But blinky lights are nothing a bit of electrical tape won't fix. Comes right off after with no gunk.
Scurix
Does she also believe in Korean fan death?
ProphetofEntropy
thats mostly a thing people say to not have to admit family and loved ones killed themselves.
strideo
It's serious though. I heard a K-pop idol was killed by one of her fans.
snakeoilsalesman
Hey those things kill you... If you eat like 5.
seraphinaa
Used to work FD at a hotel. Had a guest ask if we could move the routers near her room bc the 'waves' made her feel ill...
Ladygreenwood
That’s a mental illness.

Simple solution; rerouter!
AJerkyMcJerkface
You should route her to a less modern room. Heheh or modem room...
TheBoxLunch
Nah but for real I know some weird people like this and it's not because "cancer/ government" it's because "it's not covered and looks bad"
Evokoth
There are twits out there who think that EMF can cause cancer simply because it is a digital waveform and digital is unnatural
SquatttingDog
BUT... is it organic?
Pontation
We only have the farm to table frequencies in our house!
GloomyMP
Maybe she’s afraid your porn is gonna pass invisibly through her head while she sleeps.
jfd8u438fdsfkds
Well, she wouldn't be wrong...
strideo
Good old Wi-Fi porn osmosis.

my neighbour wanted the wifi to be turned off or to be in a different room because we share a wall, he even stopped my electricity once.
majesticjelly
How does your neighbor stop your electricity?
edelleaa
everyone has an electricity and gas "box" in the hallway

Give her a tinfoil hat, and call it a night.
strideo
This all reminds me of the older brother in Better Call Saul.
timmy26
Wrap her whole head in tin foil, just to be safe
Inimposter
Disassemble her and coat her innards work that stuff too - best protection for your family!
UsuallyARabbit
Lots of layers to keep the wifi out? Add syran wrap, an 1/16 of an inch is bullet proof.
timmy26
My thoughts exactly.. can’t even allow breathing holes or eye holes. Want 100% protection from radio waves
DesignNerd86
Actually a tin foil hat would make that worse, I think it was "Because Science" or "Film Theorists" that covered that in an episode
jfd8u438fdsfkds
Not if it's sealed tightly enough.
DesignNerd86
That just makes the wave magnification more intensified
MartinStevel
The first scientists working with radioactive rocks used to carry them in their pockets. They got all sorts of cancer from it
FieryWitherRose
I mean, Marie Curie's notes are kept in lead line boxes, so
MartinStevel
Look into the corralation between emf's and cancer and youll see theres been a lot of cases of these two have been highly corralated
timmy26
Could you give me a link to start with? Because I’m not sure if you know this but both cancer and EMF are very broad categories...
RetConMan
I assume you're wondering more about non-ionizing EM radiation. It's not completely harmless: https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/emf/
SlightlyGreasySolarAtoms
Correlated* and correlation is not causation.
FuzzBall87
So it's possible that high cancer rates caused emf?

Tell her it’s an air purifier. As if she’d know the difference.
j13jayther
If the lights start blinking a lot, it means it caught some bad germs in the air and totally not related to my late night internet activity.
jfd8u438fdsfkds
Tell her it's a new kind of router that uses positive ions (from himalayan salt) instead of the negative ions used by harmful routers.

Nothing makes me more angrier than those claims. I bought a salt lamp for the sole purpose of ambience and love it. Every other magical
SquatttingDog
claim is bullshit.
DenaliRaven
Me too. They’re awesome for that dimly lit, steady glow like a gentle, smooth campfire
YourButtIsSpatulaShaped
Nothing makes me angrier than redundancy like "more angrier" because I'm a goddamn asshole, honestly. I have a problem.
razi099
Two attempts to make it a comparison. "More angry" or "angrier". Pick one.
SquatttingDog
You’re right, guys. I’m sorry. I’m the worst.
Brandy321
Is this a wood working router?

I don't know why she can't sleep while I do some quick midnight quarter rounds.

geologistsmakethebedrock
I wish. I need a good router... oh the woodworking variety.
isetprettygirlsonfire
I'm a routerless geologist as well. But steel and fire are more my medium, so router is low on wish list. Ewww trees.
cheeseguy3412
Is she actually complaining about the wifi existing in there, or the lights? My sister cant sleep with router lights blinkspamming
DetectiveSloth
Wifi causing cancer is my guess. You can just cover the lights.
vonkeswick
Yeah I bought some plastic covers since our router is under the TV. They even come in different shades. I like it dark enough it doesn't >
vonkeswick
distract from the TV, but let out enough light that I can still see the status LEDs
geologistsmakethebedrock
It’s because of the cancer thing... She has her notions.
cheeseguy3412
Eeew, alrighty then.
strideo
Doesn't she know the Wi-Fi signal goes through the whole house? And I doubt she's citing the inverse square law about being near the source.
Mahanos
I feel your pain, friend. At least she's not demanding it be turned off.
TablesBobbyTables
I would direct her to the front door at that point
