Hardwire Routers

Hard Wire Routers
For cable modem services for Comcast and Woway, and any other cable provider, get an Arris Surfboard with ethernet cable in a 3.1 docsis. It can replace your current wireless router and save you the monthly rental fee. Always remember that service providers may try to tell you that their wireless router can be turned off through the gateway on your computer. They either don't know their equipment well enough or they are lying. The radiaion in the modem may or may not turn off, and then it will turn on again without telling you. It is never reliable. If you choose to trust their sincerely offered information, you must get an Accousticom RF meter to check your home regularly.
​
For ATT UVerse, you may not be able to get your own modem. That may not be an option for you. With all service providers, call first to check what modems they will allow. Don't go by lists on the internet of approved modems. Things are chaning too fast for those lists to be reliable.
​
Satellite Service. This may not be as bad as you may think at first. Yes, the satellite does radiate, but it is radiating away from the home not to it. The signal the satellite is receiving is a very weak signal compared to the transmitter it uses to send signal away. And it is sending it away, no to your home.
​
Once you switch out your wireless router in the home, the difference in radiation can be substantial. I have measured 166,000 microwatts per square meter of power coming from an ATT Uverse router, and when it was gone, that level went down to 0. People have reported better night's sleep, less anxiety and more calmness in the home. The boost in immunity and health is a great trade for minor convenience. Devices can be hardwired to the home ethernet jacks if the home is wired with ethernet. Alternately, switches can be plugged in a daisy chain throughout the house to provide connectivity. Here is another Scottie Tech video about how to do this.
​
If you must have a wireless router, next best plan is to at least turn it off at night and shield it with various products on the market including wrapping it in foil if you have nothing else. You can go into the gateway and turn down the power level as another option. Scottie's Tech offers a rather cute and friendly way to do this. The gateway code is usually 192.168.01 or 192.168.1.1 I found ATT Uvers uses 192.168.1.254. Here is their gateway instruction page.

Cell Phones
Cell phones were originally designed to be mobile phones. That is you used them when you were out and about, not at home because you had a landline at home. They were off unless there was an emergency on the road and you had to use it. You waited until you got into the comfort of your home before you had a long conversation with someone. Texting wasn't even an idea yet. Unfortunately, people have gotten into the habit of using them exclusively for almost everything. It is their computer as well as their home phone.
​
We need to go back in time and undo this very quickly if we want our health back.
​
An easy way to undo this is to change our habits. First habit is to never sleep next to a cell phone that is on. Always turn it off when you go to bed. If you must have it on because you use it as an alarm clock, at the very least put it on airplane mode and make sure blue tooth is off. Airplane mode won't always turn off blue tooth. There are 5-7 antennae blasting away at any given time, never static, always signaling to the cell tower that they are there. The power they use increases with every passing year and new model release.
​
Next, never place the phone next to your ear or head, use an air tube head set or better yet, use speaker phone.
​
Next, if you are one of the fortunate ones who still has a landline, use it for home calls. If not, get a Magic Jack phone plug in for your wired computer. Buy a wired phone--yes, they still do sell them. Plug the wired phone into the back of the magic jack usb and you can talk with a hand held phone. If you don't have a hand held phone, you will just use the screen interface on the computer and the computer audio. It's a lot nicer to have a phone though. Magic Jack is what is known as VOIP, or internet phone, or voice over internet protocol. There are other options online that use VOIP, but they aren't as good. Ooma doesn't offer a non radiating interface, and Google Voice, while free, is not that private.
​
The benefits of changing your calling habits are both monetarily and health wise good choices. Ditching the smart phone for a dumb phone and using it only for voice and text lowers your phone bill. A Magic Jack costs $40 a year.
​
Finally, start texting from your wired computer. This involves using the sms code of the carrier of the person you are calling. Here is a website that lists all those carriers. In the To: box you type in the person's are code and number plus the gateway code. For ATT you type the number @mm.att.net. It's that simple and a lot easier to use a keyboard instead of hunting and peaking with your index finger. Let's say you don't know the carrier for the person you are texting, well, then you either ask them or look it up directly online at Carrier Look up.
​
You will get replies in your email that look like numbers; there won't be a name connected to them, so you'll have to memorize people's phone numbers like we did in the good old days or figure out some system. Also identify yourself in your text the first time, if your identity is not appearent in your email address.
​
If you want to recieve calls from your cell phone while you are home, dial *72 plus the land line number you want to forward your calls to, and then press "call", and then you don't have to worry about missing a call while you are home because all your calls will be forwarded to your landline. You won't get texts this way, and you need to remember to undo it when you go out and about by dialing *73 to undo it.
Computers, Laptops, and Tablets
Now that your router is wired, you will need to find a way to connect your computers, laptops and tablets to the internet. Most computers have ethernet ports you can plug into, but some laptops and tablets need adaptors, either a usb, usb-c, thunderbolt adaptors, or whatever type port you have, you will need to get that puppy to the internet via an adaptor.
​
If your house is ethernet wired, you may have an ethernet port to each room, and just need a switch for however many devices you have for that room. If your house is not ethernet wired, you will need a master switch going out from the modem, and then smaller switches for each room, depending on how many devices you have in your home. The basic ideas is a switch. In case you are not familiar with switches, it is like having a bunch of creaks feeding off a main river. Or better yet, like branches on a That is the best analogy I can think of. Here is what a switch look like.
​
One last thing to not forget is to disable the wifi and blue tooth on all your computers, laptops, and devices. If you don't do this, you will defeat your purpose. The devices don't know the router is off. They will try as hard as they might to keep connecting with it. You have to tell them, not to bother by disabling them.
​
Same with gaming systems, TVs, and printers. Disable both the direct connect if it has one--a radio that connects with a cell phone from the device--as well as the regular wifi.
​
Printers: There are many printers nowdays that do not have an ethernet port connection. The work around on printers, if this is the case, is a bit difficult. Try to find a printer with an ethernet port.
​
Your fit bits, wireless mouses, wireless watches and air pods, sad to say, will not be hard wireable. They must be ditched. Your body will thank you, and you might find they were never that essential to begin with. You will probably find it fun to search for retro items to replace them.

Smart Meters
Smart meters can cause disrupted sleep like nobody's business. People have reported waking up wide awake out of sleep in the middle of the night when the meters go to do their nightly data dump creating a large spike in energy for a fraction of a second. Many people rationalize their disrupted sleep by saying they have to get up to go pee, or men will say it's their prostate. Back in the 70s nobody got up in the middle of the night. You went to bed, and didn't wake up until the alarm clock or cat woke you up.
​
Smart meters signal to the utility about every five or ten minutes all day long. Some signal more frequently than others. It wouldn't be so bad except the 900 megahertz signal slices through everything to get to the utility: homes, walls, trees, dogs, cats, you.
​
Utilities know about the harmful effects because back in 2012 when they were still replacing old mechanical analog meters, there was a lot of activism by people who couldn't sleep after they had smart meters installed. Now, nobody knows what normal sleep is like, so there isn't a lot of outrage anymore. But States were forced to pass opt out bills in light of all the evidence they were confronted with from the harmful effects of smart meters. You can go online to check if your state has an opt out program.
​
Usually, it works like this. You tell them you don't want your smart meter anymore, and they come and remove it, and replace it with an analog meter with no FCC licensed radio inside. If you see an FCC ID number, they have duped you. Tell them that is not going on your house, and would they please bring a a mechanacal analog meter with no radio inside. They have them. They may charge a fee for removal and a "maintenance" fee to pay a meter reader every month. You don't have to whine and complain about how aweful it makes you feel. They know. All you have to do is ask them to get rid of it.
​
What if you don't have opt out? Then you shield the inside of your home. I don't recommend the smart meter shields that go around the smart meter itself only because I"m not sure they are that effective. I've heard mixed reviews. I do know that a smart meter can't penetrate two layers of heavy duty aluminum foil barrier they sell at Safe Living Technologies in Canada. If your smart meter is on your garage, you can put two layers on the other side of it. That is a start. The one on your house is the worst, but there may be a neighbor's nearby that might be the culprit. This could be a long process of discovery, be patient. Shield an interrior wall, and then see if you sleep better. Shield a window at night, same thing. You can staple the foil at the top of the drywall and drape it down and seal the edges with painters tape. Ugly, yes, but in a pinch it will get the job done. If you need to go all the way to Y shield signal blocking paint, well, you have to do what you have to do, but try the foil first to see if shielding said wall will work. Aluminum screen won't be solid enough. It won't block the needle like spikes that rocket through homes.
