Many of you already know that wireless radiation is hazardous, and the obvious sources are the cell phone and wifi router. I have addressed those in other blogs, but because wireless radiation is silent, odorless and invisible, you may not realize how much a hazard wireless speakers are. You can have tamed all the obvious sources only to bring in a new device and undo all the hard work you already accomplished.
The good news is you can wire up the speakers if there is an ethernet jack somewhere on the speaker. Most Sonos speakers have ethernet jacks.
Even if you are not interested in the health benefits of hardwiring, you might be interested in reducing channel congestion and interference. When many devices are running at the same time, the power levels are all on full blast which is the default factory setting. They don't need to be that strong and it is better they are not because of interference issues. Any IT tech will tell you multiple devices on full blast can be a recipe for interference and lose of signal quality.
As with wireless anything, the key concepts are to turn off the transmitters and connect with a hardwired ethernet cord. If there is only a USB C port, or any kind of USB port, you can get an adaptor with an ethernet port on one end and the USB plug on the other end.
There are many brands of wireless speakers on the market, but the Sonos speakers come with an ethernet port already, except for the mobile speaker.
Once you have the ethernet cord, plug it in and then plug the other end into the managing device. With Sonos you have already installed the system with a mobile app, but you can manage the system with a PC or Mac. So, plug the ethernet cord into the Mac or PC.
If you are not a big fan of ethernet cords, there is a way to use Powerline adapters that plug into the house electrical system and use the wires to transmit the signal from device to device using small ethernet cords directly to the device. That, however, creates new EMF problems with high electric fields and dirty electricity on the wires. See the end of the article on how to deal with those newly created EMFs and how to wire up with powerline adapters
So, let's say you have chosen the cleaner version of using ethernet cords. Now that you have a wired connection from speaker to Mac or PC, you will need to turn off the transmitter radio in the speaker itself. The basic procedure is to get into the gateway of the speaker, and disable the wifi. This is very similar to how to disable the wifi in a router. First you find the IP address that allows you into the gateway. Once you are in the gateway, you can do various configurations of the device. You will want to disable the wifi. If you decide you do not want that particular setting anymore you can enable it again or just turn off the device and allow it to set everything back to the default settings. Which reminds me of another important point. When the speakers are updated, they may return to their factory settings and the transmitters will turn on again. In the instructions I am about to share with you, you can tell the device not to do that. Here is the link to the instructions on how to get into the gateway and configure the wifi settings.
These instructions are five years old. Look at the comments below for clarification and changes to the gateway. There are also precautions if you are using the router and a mesh network, as it can cause problems.
Powerline Adapters
You can use powerline adapters to transform the house wiring as sort of ethernet cords. These will create new EMFs, but they won't be microwave radiation EMFs. So, you are trading EMF for EMF, but if you do some adaptations, you can mitigate some of those EMFs. Powerline adapters have a jack for the ethernet cord. You will use two of them. One to plug in the speaker wherever you may want it in the house, and the other one will plug into the Mac or PC where you manage the speaker, wherever you have that in your house. You plug the adapters into the wall socket with the outlet prongs. Make Sure you did not buy ones with wifi antennae on them or accidentally pick up a wifi extender, as they look sort of similar. Powerline adapters should not have antennae on them.
Now that you have installed them, you will need to ground them with an ethernet grounding cord from electra health, found here . Place it on the Mac or PC side where you manage the speaker. This will help lower the AC electric fields that will come off the powerlines from your house which travel up to the device you are using.
The last thing you will need to do is place some Stetzer or Greenwave microsurge electrical pollution filters in outlets near the powerline adaptors. The powerline adapters create MEP or what is known as dirty electricity. Tiny, high frequncy currents are created that will ride the 60 cycle syne wave of electricity on the house wiring. You can find both Stetzer and Greenwave at LessEMf.com. Also, if you can afford it, get a Stetzer meter to measure the MEP before and after the filters to see how much the filters are cleaning up the dirty electricity.
This may seem like a lot of work, but in the end, your body will thank you. Just a reminder about the 2018 National Institute of Health, National Toxocology Program study. It was over two decades long with rats exposed to just 2-3G radiation, and the rats got brain and heart tumors. The study concluded there is "clear evidence" of cancer and DNA breakage with exposure to wireless micorwave radiation. Here is an article in The Guardian called The Inconvenient Truth About Cancer and Mobile Phones. That includes wireless speakers.
