“Nevertheless, the radiobiological specificity of the perception of electromagnetic radiation for each person is actually individual, which causes a practical dilemma about the safety of Wi-Fi radiation,” Kostin explained.
In order to minimize possible risks, the expert urged to follow the safety rules when operating a Wi-Fi router, including in the modem format. He advised not to install multi-channel Mesh systems in rooms less than 50 square meters. m, and also do not place the router in places of long stay (such as a bedroom, kitchen, office, etc.).

“In general, if possible, use a connection to a dedicated line via twisted pair or fiber optics, which will not only reduce the risk of exposure, but also improve the quality and safety of signal transmission,” the agency’s interlocutor concluded.
