1. Is a router running JRS Eco firmware safe in terms of exposure
to wifi radiation?
A wifi router emits electromagnetic radiation, which is shown
to be possibly unsafe in numerous scientific studies, even if
the emission is below the current official exposure limits. A
number of studies are listed on our website at
. You can reduce your exposure by
limiting the duration of exposure and by increasing the
distance between your body and the antennas. Any wifi device has antennas,
either internal or external.
Although the JRS Eco 100 router firmware measurably reduces router
electromagnetic field (EMF) emissions, JRS offers no other than legally
required safety guarantees regarding the electromagnetic radiation of the
router running the JRS Eco firmware, and use is at your own risk and
responsibility.
Wifi is two-way traffic. Both the router and your wireless devices emit EMFs.
Although the Eco firmware greatly reduces router radiation during
stand-by and partly during operation, it does not reduce radiation from
your wireless devices.
For each piece of data sent from the wifi router, a
confirmation is sent back by your device. Wifi radiation from devices is very
strong and you keep the device very close to your body. Especially in data-
intensive applications such as video, wifi radiation from the device is high.
Even when the router is off, your wireless device will still emit wifi radiation as
long as its wifi is turned on. Most devices will intermittently send out wifi
network scans, looking for available wifi networks.
By using the JRS Eco firmware you agree to be aware of the risks and
that the use of the router and firmware is at your own risk.
It may be
possible to reduce the transmit power of your computer's wifi adapter by
adjusting its settings with the Windows Device Manager. You can minimize
your exposure to electromagnetic radiation by working with a wired Internet
connection. A hardwired Internet connection is radiation-free.
