Re: Blocking the neighbor's WiFi

Show all headers | View raw

Hi there
CAn someone tell me how to block Wifi signals full stop without resorting to using a radio frequency blocker?
We are being bombarded by Wifi signals from the neighbours in every direction, have informed them that they do not need Wifi on all day and night, and to use the LAN cable. 

In the mean time our radio frequency receiver goes off into the red spectrum which means we are being radiated whilst siting in our living room, lounge and bedrooms on one side of the house. This is environmental pollution and should be illegal.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
