5. Important: Turning off the built-in wifi of your Internet modem
If your Internet modem has wifi built in, switch it off, to eliminate
unnecessary wifi radiation. If you don't know how, ask the customer
service of your provider for help. See also below.
You need to retain your Internet modem because it provides the conversion of
the Internet signal to ADSL, cable or fiber, the specifics of which depend on
your Internet provider. If your Internet modem has built-in wifi, this needs to be
turned off in order to minimize wifi radiation. You don’t need that wifi signal
anymore because the wifi function is taken over by the Eco-wifi router.
On some Internet modems you can simply turn off the wifi with a switch on
your modem. Usually the built-in wifi can be turned off in the settings menu of
your Internet modem, which can be reached through a web browser by typing
in the correct address, an IP number. Alternatively you may search for a do-it-
yourself manual on the Internet by typing the provider name and the make and
model of your Internet modem.
We regularly receive questions on how to do this. Please understand that we
cannot support all the different providers and modems. This is outside of our
scope of influence. However remember that turning off the built-in wifi is
always possible. If you don’t know how, ask your provider’s customer service
to help you.
If your Internet provider also operates a public wifi network through its Internet
modems, please make sure to also turn this public wifi network off. In some
cases you need to do this on a separate web page of the Internet provider
with a personal login. You can check if your modem is not emitting any wifi
anymore by holding your smart phone next to it and scanning for wifi
networks. Make sure there is no strong wifi network on top of the list with the
name of the public network.
6. Dual band
The Eco-wifi router is a dual band router and emits two wifi networks: one at
the 2.4GHz frequency and one at 5 GHz. The range is best on the 2.4GHz
network because 5GHz is attenuated more by walls and ceilings. The
maximum AC wifi throughput speed (over 400Mbps) can be achieved on the
