Turn Off RBK20 during night
Can I turn off the power to the router during the night? I'm using a clock switch for limit sleep exposures and I don't know if RBK20 device has a memory to keep the saved settings. Thk you

Yes the RBR keeps settings. Though wifi radio signals are not harmful to humans unless you have the RBR or RBS right next to you.

thanks for your answer, I read some scientific studies have found that continuous exposures 8h/day near device causes sleep disturbances and other problems for healt, so the wifi device will be installed 3 meters away from head, not in bedroom but in house corridor, separated with only plasterboard wall

Where were those "scientific studies"? That is an easy claim to throw around, but there are often about as reliable as the "scientific studies" quoted by the antivaxxers.

I'm italian, see attachment.
There are recommended exposure limits but what happens for exposures of lower intensity for times of 8h/day for 20 years? I've a 8 years old daughter and it's easy to understand the alarm bell...
- LucierutJul 20, 2022AspirantI agree, I can also feel the difference and am highly emf sensitive. My body doesn’t do well with long or strong exposures. People call me crazy but even if you put a plant next to it it’ll wither. Emf literally damages cells and thus replicates unhealthy and damaged ones.
