Hello,
I have a question, does anyone know to what extent wi-fi affects stents implants in the heart.
If there are any settings to help me reduce the spread of the wi-fi signal in the home, or what measures do you recommend I take to protect a person who has such a device on heart?
Thank you and I look forward to your recommendations! _________________ Internet provider https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCS_%26_RDS 1Gbps

None. If it did, no one with a heart stent could go anywhere. A heart stent is effectively a stiff wire mesh. Wifi has no effect on that. _________________ How-to: Encrypt your queries with DNS over TLS

Good response.
And home wifi signals are not particularly strong anyway. The radiation to your heart area from your cell phone would be stronger, especially if the signal from the cell tower is weak (so that your phone has to "shout louder" to be heard there). _________________ 2x Netgear XR500 and 3x Linksys WRT1900ACSv2 on 53544: VLANs, VAPs, NAS, station mode, OpenVPN client (AirVPN), wireguard server (AirVPN port forward) and clients (AzireVPN, AirVPN, private), 3 DNSCrypt providers via VPN.
I'm sorry, it's a about pacemaker, these are affected by wi-fi, what adjustments should I make on the wifi side?
For a start I downgraded TX Power to 3 dBm, and I also use the Radio Scheduling setting for certain hours to stop wi fi, this can also be a solution? _________________ Internet provider https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCS_%26_RDS 1Gbps

Not all routers will actually lower the transmit power when you change the setting. (My Linksys WRT1900ACSv2 routers won't.) Dropping from 30 dBm to 3 dBm is about a 500:1 power reduction, so if that power reduction is real, you should see signal-strength indicators on your client devices showing obvious effect. The range reduction should also be pretty obvious, as (for positions more than a couple of feet from the router) a range reduction of over 95% would result from that sort of power drop. Look for range to halve each time you cut power by 6 dB.
If your router actually does lower power to 3 dBm when you ask it to, and if that power level actually works to keep your client devices connected and happy, great! The less power you transmit, the less of an interference problem you are for your neighbors. I wish everyone would transmit only the power actually needed. _________________ 2x Netgear XR500 and 3x Linksys WRT1900ACSv2 on 53544: VLANs, VAPs, NAS, station mode, OpenVPN client (AirVPN), wireguard server (AirVPN port forward) and clients (AzireVPN, AirVPN, private), 3 DNSCrypt providers via VPN.
oliver, i have 8 stints, a pace maker and a very weak heart with that being said ive never had no problems except when i got to close to someone arc welding... _________________ Downloads:

yes I understand and microwave ovens are dangerous, thanks for the information
