These plug-in "extenders" emit a huge amount of electro-magnetic interference. When they are plugged into the mains sockets, the house's entire wiring system begins acting as an aeriel which radiates interference beyond the house itself.

This interference is picked up other peoples telephone wires and this affects their ADSL (broadband ) performance.


They are banned in some countries!


Best to avoid.

any wifi IS electromagnetic radiation as are ALL radio waves - the 'extenders ' route the 'internet ' through your mains wire and then bradcast it like any router does.

If anything they are safer as they tend to be less powerful than a router - but u still need a router.

If anyone is worried about electomagnetic radiation dont have wifi in the house. ( or mobile phones )

Romnarz, you have made an assumption that is fallacious ie you assume that the extenders use the same frequency as the wifi. This is not true.


To utilise the live mains cabling, the extenders utilise a frequency in the 1.8MHz to 86MHz range. They do this to minimiase the effect of "noise" which is present on electrical mains supplies.


I suggest you read this article which will explain itbetter than I can.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
