We have an R7000 Nighthawk router, and although we have 6-8 wifi devices in our home, we do want to minimize wifi signals as much as possible to mitigate any possible health risks, such as not having unneeded wifi signals overnight, for example.  In the Genie app Network Map, there are a lot of wifi connections shown with dashed blue / purple lines.  What is the meaning of those lines?  I understand they are wifi connections, but does the color indicate that they are not currently active?  Are active connections always shown in green, or are some of the blue / purple lines active also?

 

Thanks for any information!

If you want to limit your possible health risk you could turn the wifi off at night unless you have devices that are wifi connected and needed over night as even if no devices using wifi at night the  router is still transmitting so turning off the radios would the best way to reduce your risk at lease from your own router.
