Set a web of wifi repeaters around their house.

B-b-b-but OP, there son has WiFi sickness, you don't want him to die do you?

Just make the SSID hidden, those plebs won't notice.

I want to piss them off, I know they can't take me to court

'no'

Make yourself a cantenna. you can go way over fcc power limits with one of those, and it's dirt cheap. turnpoint.net/wireless/cantennahowto.html

Just hide your SSID those retards won't notice it kek

>Put DD-WRT on any decent router
>Buy larger antennae
>Boost Tx power as high as it can go without burning out the electronics
>Hide SSID
>Tell them you stopped using it
>Year later tell them the truth
>Laugh in their faces and call them retards

Also:
If you live in FCC land, don't get caught.

top kek

Tell them wifi sickness isn't real

How would I hide my ssid?

just dont broadcast it
theres an option to turn it off in router settings

Router settings.
>Broadcast SSID
>Click 'disable'

Depends how much money you want to spend. You can go blast wifi using a short range satelite dish, or get a proper liscense and equipment and set up a 4g tower

Just point this at their son youtube.com/watch?v=FIU8WZR9DNA

This. Make sure to point it at their son's bedroom.

>I know they can't take me to court
Yes. they can. They can file a civil suit and it will still cost you money to defend, unless of course you defend yourself and then it will take time and will be a huge hassle.

Update us when it stops being fun as a warning to others.

>WiFi sickness
Green party voter by any chance?

>Green party voter by any chance?
Stop with that meme. Stein abandoned her anti-vaxx position.

It'll get dismissed in 10 minutes, because wifi stickiness doesn't fucking exist.

Are you actually implying a judge won't toss this case immediately in the garbage bin when they see it? You do realize that wifi sickness has literally been proven to not exist right? This is like suing your neighbor for shooting invisible laser beams into your brain every time they look at you.

>>blast porn at him all night.

>They can take him to court for using wifi in his home
Sure thing man

OP, in the US if you have a ham radio license you can attach an amplifier to your router. I think the max legal limit is then 1500 watts. Of course, encryption is out of the question (for the most part), and you're restricted to a couple channels in the 2.4 GHz band (look it up). Also, that's kind of a dangerous amount of power at that band, but I think that's your best bet for the most power.

Time to buy an amplifier user, give yourself some brain cancer and also your neighborhood.

More info:

The longer range the signal, the longer the crest to creat difference is, making it weaker. You can something just short enough to reach, because it will have a shorter crest to crest distance making it a stronger signal. Anyway you are retarded to waste money on this anyway. Just change your ssid to fuck you i am not turning my wifi off and call it a day

OP, if they came next door to tell you to stop using wifi chances are they asked everyone in a 1-2 house radius to stop as well. Band together and get the homeowners association on their ass.

>WiFi sickness
I'd love to see this kind of thing tested in a controlled environment.
Like others have said, set the router to a hidden ssid if you don't want them to bother you.
Bonus points if you tell them down the road.

>name your SSID "Jimmy's plauge"

That would be a MikroTik outdoor AP. Have fun!

Not OP but if I were in his situation I would just claim to have a sickness that requires me to have WiFi.

You don't need a powerful router just change your SSID to "WiFi sickness isn't real"

millennial syndrome
get it?

STOPTHEMAYMAY

what is that gif.

Don't waste your effort, it all in his head. (actually its probably in the mothers head)

kek

If the son has wifi sickness does that mean he's never used the internet to watch youtube videos or play videogames online with his friends. What cruel parents

>Internet access is exclusive through Wifi
>He actually uses Wifi instead of using Ethernet

>they tell me to not use WiFi because their son has WiFi sickness

Now, I'm not one to unnecessarily spend money on a router I don't need to piss off neighbors who claim their son has a condition that doesn't actually exist (and therefore wouldn't be affected by anything you do with your router) but I would certainly tell them to fuck off.

Don't go in open offensive, troll the subtly.
1) Pretend to comply, hide Wi-Fi, lay some UTP around the house (and make sure they see you doing it).
2) Kids have more sensitive hearing than adults. Now if you're 18+ and the son is just a kid you can get a high frequency buzzer that can be tuned (they are used for animal repelling), tune it just a notch under your own hearing, the kid should still hear it.
3) Set it toward their house and blast it all day erry day.
4) If they complain, show them the UTPs show them there's no WiFi nearby then offhand mention that if the kid is feeling something it might be the strong signal from nearby city facility (library, police station, etc. whatever will sound plausible for your location).

It has been, lots, and shown to be bullshit.
Google electromagnetic hypersensitivity

Buy a shit ton of Pringles and make cantennas. Either that or buy a Yagi antenna for wifi. At defcon a few years back there was a guy who sold ones that worked over 500m away.

Can anyone tell why constant exposure to microwave frequencies be harmless? 2,4Ghz is what boils water in the oven, WiFi is just less powerful, but it's like a frog in a boiling pot. Has anyone actuallystudied mice life expectancies and cancer risks in a faraday cage?

>those high-freq. buzzers
I fucking hate those things. There's one just outside of the post office 20km away from me; across the street from a store I go to sometimes. I can't park on that side of the street because that thing is so loud. It's physically painful to be within 50m of it, and I'm 25. Shit should be illegal.

>2,4Ghz is what boils water in the oven, WiFi is just less powerful, but it's like a frog in a boiling pot
You wot mate?
Heat boils water in an oven. An oven uses a large heating element to heat the air within it.

You guys would love the radio free zone in the USA.

the special snowflake is so unbelievably great in the video. just admit you're a luddite already and go be amish. yes someone actually gets paid to go drive around and make sure nobody is using microwaves, wi-fi, etc.

>Can anyone tell why constant exposure to microwave frequencies be harmless?

Consider the following:
Microwave oven: 1000 W
WiFI:

Microwave oven I mean.

not that user but he probably means a microwave oven, and true that works on 2.4GHz. But a microwave uses 100-1000W power while wifi is something between 10-100mW

But you don't walk wrapped in heating pads all day.

Oh, okay. Use the right word then. Oven never means microwave.

No, but if you did I bet it'd feel pretty cozy in the winter.

Overheating is harmful for skin and organs.

thell them you sexually identify as 2.4ghz and to stop oppressing you

A case being tossed "immediately" will take "at least" a month, followed by the paperwork they'll make you file.

You can file a civil suit for pretty much anything.

So turn it down.

>Implying US courts give a shit whether or not the condition exists...
I present you Ethan Couch who suffers from affluenza.

I don't think you comprehend how little energy that is...

Literally stepping into the sunlight will do far far more to warming you then that.

Well then, I guess it's a good thing that WiFi signals don't carry enough energy to cause overheating. That is the only danger microwaves pose.

You will go to jail for raping their son then.

I thought there was some kind of penalty for filing a frivolous lawsuit?

Yes there is but the legal definition of frivolous is a bit complicated. You need to prove that no reasonable person would have ever brought this suit before the court.

Or that's it's for the sole purpose of harassing the defendant. In general the pay the other sides legal fee's and may get sanctions filed

Those cunts move into a new neighborhood and expect people to adapt to their shitty disorders? Fuck them, I'll mail you a few spare access points i have.

I actually live near there

Came very close to spraying water all over my laptop after having a drink and reading this.

>not using ethernet in the year of the lord 2016
jesus fucking christ

>our son has wifi sickness
>our son is allergic to em waves
>our son is made sick by the fundamentals of physics without being physically disabled
Do they only use cord phones then?

2.4ghz band is fucking packed solid anyways, guaranteed to be something using it unless you live in bumfuck nowhere and are well isolated.

There is no proven thing such as wifi sickness. Fuck em

> Amerifats can sue you because your wifi modems blast harmful wifis to their sick son

The funny thing is that the entire area is still being bathed constantly in RF from all of the aircraft flying within 200km, satellites and of course, the sun. These people are just retards enjoying their placebo.

Get a nice AC wifi router with like 10 antennae and then get a bunch of signal boosters around the perimeter of your house. then get a high gain antennae for your roof and aim it right at their house.

Then sit the other side of their property and shit post on your long range wifi transmitting your posts right through their dumbass kid

They don't use microwaves, cordless phones, live near any broadcast or cell towers.

You are an idiot

Oh boy, I know how that conversation sould have gone.

It would end up with hysterical laughter before they even finish what they want to say, and a door slamming in their face.

OP in one year:
>Sup Forums I've been diagnosed with brain cancer

>cars
>no EMF emitted
Maybe if it was an old diesel...

This.

Underrated

To be honest you should be the bigger man and realize that the family is in a tough situation. Even if the disease is a meme, the mental distress they experience is true, as well as the damages that may result from the nocebo efect (people have died from believing that they have WiFi sickness). Just hide you WiFi and tell them that you turned it off despite the WiFi sickness not existing, and then try to educate them for their own good.

Disabling SSID broadcasting usually just makes "Hidden network" pop up on some devices.
Any way around this?

nah man, he should change his ssid to wifi sickness is not real

>Just hide you WiFi
It will show up as hidden network.
I'm sure these cunts scan for hidden networks. They want him to completely shut it down because his son has a meme disease that needs a shrink.

I'd tell them that I am willing to shut off my wifi- provided they pay for all of my wireless equipment and devices that would be made useless without wifi- and pay me $30 a month so I can upgrade to unlimited data for my phone so I can keep using Netflix in bed.


Then I'd hide the SSID.

You can't educate the unintelligent, which is what you have to be in order to believe in WiFi sickness in the first place.

4chin addict

It's grrrrreat

EHS isn't recognized medically as an impairment. Fuck off.

He should get a directional antenna and blast 130dB 2.4 gHz right at the kids room

Except in Sweden, apparently.

Also set it to not respond to ping requests.

That's not how any of this works

You can't use logic on neo-luddites. They are just against technology and can't admit it. All the people in the vid living there are textbook examples of the gay little psuedo-stinge, a little bit of "im better than u" for not using tech. Just need to be honest and admit it so everyone in the modern world can disregard them, but they won't. notice how there isn't a single person there under 50. why does nobody under this age not get your made up disease? Fun to watch.

The radio quiet zone was set up to protect the radio telescopes there from interference.

DEAR GOD I FUCKING KEK'D SO HARD. THANKS OP, TODAY YOU ARE NOT A FAGGOT/
