Tangential, but Lemmy is filled with smart people so I’m going to ask: is it possible to legally make it impossible for wireless signals to work within your own home? That is, how would one dampen access to wireless networks? Would this require illegal use of signal jamming devices as I imagine a Faraday cage would be too difficult to make in a room.
Edit: where else on Lemmy could I ask this sort of question?
I imagine you could come up with something relatively easy to put on the walls/ceilings to block signals if you really felt like it.
Making it look like a sane person’s house might be a little more difficult though
You need floors as well. Just need conductive wire mesh behind the drywall and under the subfloor and inside the door core and used as insect screen in all the windows to form a complete box.
The FCC has a lot of regulations on it. From what I remember active jamming within the home is still wildly illegal. Depending on the size of your house/room, a far as at cage wouldn’t be too difficult, especially if you did it during construction. If you’re on a budget and don’t mind looking crazy you can line a closet with tinfoil and connect it to ground.
Yeah shielding. Totally passive.
mobsters did that in their houses, people who buy them often only learn about the previous owner after realizing that one or two rooms are faraday cages - zero wifi or cellular.
