Wi-Fi at home: how to set up a calmer network

Wi-Fi has become indispensable at home. With a few simple settings you can still set up your network so that things are calm where you recover.

How strong is Wi-Fi radiation?

According to the Federal Office of Public Health, the radiation of a Wi-Fi device is small even at maximum transmission power and decreases quickly with distance. Laboratory measurements show: at 20 centimetres it is around 10 times and at one metre around 40 times below the limit.

How to set up a calmer Wi-Fi

1. Place the router centrally. All devices then have good reception and need to transmit less.
2. At least one metre away. The router does not belong next to the bed, sofa or workplace.
3. Use the night schedule. Many routers can be switched off on a timer, for example from 11 pm to 6 am. It also saves electricity.
4. Switch off what you don't need. Wi-Fi on the laptop, Bluetooth on the phone or smart speakers in the bedroom can be off.
5. Cable for fixed places. At the desk or TV, a LAN cable is often more stable and faster.

And the neighbours?

You can't switch off your neighbours' Wi-Fi. All the more reason to consciously set up the sources within your own four walls and create real quiet zones, especially in the bedroom.

You simply plug VIVOBASE HOME into a socket. It is not a shield; your Wi-Fi works as usual. Many families use it as a simple basis for a calmer home.
