It would be interesting to see if the attenuation was increased with a ground wire onto the Faraday cage.

Can I suggest a new range of LTT holographic 5G safety stickers for their new iPhone 12's? They need protection from the 5Gs.
The fact someone can take a $5 paper holder and sell it as a $90 "wifi radiation protection device" and people not only bought it but also gave it 5 star reviews has made me give up on humanity as a species.
The five star review is almost certainly fake. Either way, if there is one individual who is stupid enough to believe in these bogus dangers and actually buy a paper holder for it, then it's clear that their have very low intelligence and may well want to convince themselves that they've made a good purchase.
It is actually quite impressive that someone discovered that cheap paper trays block some wifi signal. It is more impressive that that person also discovered people will actually over pay for those paper holders to block wifi signals. That person is a genius.

We were having trouble with WiFi dropping out in the offices in my Dad's business. The access point was was located on the other side of the wall, so only a short distance away. After racking my brain for months, I finally figured it out. The wall between the access point and the offices had stucco on it, which is made with a metal mesh. The wall was basically a Farady wall. While it didn't completely block the signal, any devices using WiFi behind that wall would experience frequent signal drops.

From Amazon: "How do you know that it is working? " Answer: Hello! You may use an EMF tester, but if you do not have on available, one home test is to notice that there is less dust gathering around your router, then before it was inside the Faraday cage. EMF emissions dry out air and cause a lot of dust to accumulate around your electronics. If there is less dust than before, you can tell that less electromagnetic frequencies are escaping. Another home test is to notice how you feel before and after the Faraday cage was used. if you work in an office space close to the router, sleep within a few yards of the router, or spend prolonged periods of time next to the router, you may notice a decline in your health-most noticeably in sleep quality and energy levels. When I put this faraday cage in my home, I noticed I slept better throughout the night and had more energy throughout the day. I also had more patience for my work and a subtle sense of well-being once my router was inside the cage. I used my EMF meter and saw that the EMF emissions around the box were much less than before I put it inside the cage. The effect on my health is cumulative, and subtle, but I did notice it right away, and my family noticed as well. Faraday cages are gaining popularity today, but they have been around since 1836. The technology is simple but effective. Microwaves, the common kitchen appliance, come equipped with Faraday technology to protect against harmful radiation that could emit from the microwave without the Faraday cage (notice the pattern on the window of the microwave. That is a Faraday cage!) If you have any other questions about using the Faraday cage, please ask away. This is a simple but truly fascinating item that will improve your home or work space! see less By Travel RX SELLER on December 3, 2020 www.amazon.com/Shield-Protection-Harmful-Radiation-Faraday/dp/B08F3VWZD1/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=faraday+cage&qid=1611698116&sr=8-7#customerReviews

@@TheMightyZwom isnt EMF referring to magnetism not radiation. The video actually makes this point in the first 5 minutes that EMF and radio waves are different (though linked)
@@adampickard9880 If you bothered to look up what EMF stands for, youd realise that this is wrong. What linus mentioned was that the electric field and 'electro-magnetic field' arent the same thing, but he is slightly incorrect. There is no 'electro-magnetic field', there are just electric and magnetic fields. Electro-magnetic radiation aka light aka radiation aka 'emfs' is just a particular arrangement of these fields (in physics terms, they are the plane wave solutions to Maxwell's equations). Furthermore, @jayfulf, EVERYTHING not just electrical devices emit 'EMF' aka radiation. In fact there is a very specific curve called the 'black body spectrum' or the 'plank spectrum' which describes all the frequencies of light ("emf's") that object emit (it depends on their temperature). So not only is your brain emitting em radiation, but every single cell of your body will be emitting em radiation of essentially all frequencies (the amount of each will depend on the temperature as given by plank's law).

@@mywereldza at least, from how that review was written, there was a clear intent of reducing the signal strength at long distances, and not due to “E&M-produced-cancer”.

New tech gets the call: Instead of following instructions, she had poured cough syrup in through the CD tray opening. Now, every time the CD spins up, it spits droplets of cough syrup out of the case through the vent holes. God only knows how it was still able to boot.
Hi Linus I would take issue with your statement that a 5-10dB drop is not a lot. It being a logarithmic scale 5dB would be a 68% reduction and 10dB would be a 90% reduction. Of course something you could mention is the cage is completely counter productive as devices can adjust their tx power to compensate for poor signal. So you would be attenuating the signal from the router sat 5-10m away from you while increasing the tx power(and battery usage) of the device you are holding in your hand. As you accurately stated much better to just turn down the gain on your router.
There's an old saying, "A fool and his money are soon parted." This product is just another example of that in action. And it will keep happening as long as we have fools...

Yeah, I don't know why people still believe all of those stupid things. I never understand them, the only thing that makes me stay on a low profile (not directly change things) is because people with stupidity numbers are a lot like many of them. Some even makes a law. Do you know what that's means? it will be "few" vs "many". Even if I'm right no one would listen to me, no one would care about the truth, they still believe it. Let's say that they make some voting and kicked me out to space. Yes, I'm talking about Among Us. Sometimes, I hope I'm like them because it is hard to be different and not accepted by people. In the end, we are humans and humans are social beings. But, I will not regret it. I will always choose something reasonable like science even if I'm alone.

@@AndyJMacLeod did you come up with that all by yourself??
From Amazon:
"How do you know that it is working?

Answer: Hello! You may use an EMF tester, but if you do not have on available, one home test is to notice that there is less dust gathering around your router, then before it was inside the Faraday cage. EMF emissions dry out air and cause a lot of dust to accumulate around your electronics. If there is less dust than before, you can tell that less electromagnetic frequencies are escaping.
Another home test is to notice how you feel before and after the Faraday cage was used. if you work in an office space close to the router, sleep within a few yards of the router, or spend prolonged periods of time next to the router, you may notice a decline in your health-most noticeably in sleep quality and energy levels. When I put this faraday cage in my home, I noticed I slept better throughout the night and had more energy throughout the day. I also had more patience for my work and a subtle sense of well-being once my router was inside the cage. I used my EMF meter and saw that the EMF emissions around the box were much less than before I put it inside the cage. The effect on my health is cumulative, and subtle, but I did notice it right away, and my family noticed as well.
Faraday cages are gaining popularity today, but they have been around since 1836. The technology is simple but effective. Microwaves, the common kitchen appliance, come equipped with Faraday technology to protect against harmful radiation that could emit from the microwave without the Faraday cage (notice the pattern on the window of the microwave. That is a Faraday cage!)
If you have any other questions about using the Faraday cage, please ask away. This is a simple but truly fascinating item that will improve your home or work space! see less

Not just wireless devices. Every single thing that has electricity going through it will emit EMF, even the wires.

@@TheMightyZwom isnt EMF referring to magnetism not radiation. The video actually makes this point in the first 5 minutes that EMF and radio waves are different (though linked)
@@adampickard9880 If you bothered to look up what EMF stands for, youd realise that this is wrong. What linus mentioned was that the electric field and 'electro-magnetic field' arent the same thing, but he is slightly incorrect. There is no 'electro-magnetic field', there are just electric and magnetic fields. Electro-magnetic radiation aka light aka radiation aka 'emfs' is just a particular arrangement of these fields (in physics terms, they are the plane wave solutions to Maxwell's equations). Furthermore, @jayfulf, EVERYTHING not just electrical devices emit 'EMF' aka radiation. In fact there is a very specific curve called the 'black body spectrum' or the 'plank spectrum' which describes all the frequencies of light ("emf's") that object emit (it depends on their temperature). So not only is your brain emitting em radiation, but every single cell of your body will be emitting em radiation of essentially all frequencies (the amount of each will depend on the temperature as given by plank's law).

Hi Linus I would take issue with your statement that a 5-10dB drop is not a lot. It being a logarithmic scale 5dB would be a 68% reduction and 10dB would be a 90% reduction.
Of course something you could mention is the cage is completely counter productive as devices can adjust their tx power to compensate for poor signal. So you would be attenuating the signal from the router sat 5-10m away from you while increasing the tx power(and battery usage) of the device you are holding in your hand.
As you accurately stated much better to just turn down the gain on your router.
