leave it on but stop broadcasting ssid (so she can't tell obvs)
Is the ssid the bit that shows up on your phone or computer, with the name of the WiFi? This sounds to me like the perfect solution!! As well as disabling the lights on the router of course
I think most of us would agree that this person is likely to be more worried about the effect of radiation than the actual radiation itself. We all know that there are likely to be lots more stations around and having a gsm to your ear will create a much stronger field than being 20m away from a router
but... pointing this out isn't going to help. It would be like trying to point out to someone with OCD that what they are doing isn't really needed.
Why not try and work round it? e.g. have a second router somewhere with the same SSID but with the ssid hidden and same password. I think (ie. I would need to test) that if you switch the main router off then devices should still be able to link to the second. However you still have the trust issue :(. For me when I've had to do this I've just come to an agreement with the person that when necessary we have to switch it on and we do.
We all have our ways of coping with the world

Page 98, show her just how much radiation is being transmitted around 2.4Ghz. Why doesn't she melt when she walks around?
And was convinced that the phases of the moon affected people in the same way it has an effect the tides ‘well it must do, as we are 70% water!’
Do you know where the term Lunatic comes from ?
[quote=leffeboy ]However you still have the trust issue :(.
yes, but is it really a problem to lie to people in a way which will make them feel better?
I suggest going through the rigmarole of switching the Wifi she knows about on and off at request so that it's not obvious though.
As some one above said, I’d want her to also provide a medical note before taking her seriously. Thinking something can be totally different to actually being something.
Op please get us a picture of the crystal egg.
I had the misfortune to work with a bloke last year who said that pylons near his home made him have a headache so he sold up and moved. He can’t walk near pylons at all now apparently. As he goes all week and faint.
His desktop pc used to be on the floor near his foot, and it caused pain in n his foot.
There was a bit of masking tape strategically placed on the wall as a reflection from a window on the Matt wall surface caused him to get headaches. The masking tape stopped the reflection and therefore headaches. Odd then seeing as though the tape may have strangely moved...not that I or colleagues would know anything about that....
Some things are just bad 🙄
I knew a bloke who was into something crystal. He asked me to help him set something up on his PC, but then wouldn't let me touch the keyboard because said machine was actually possessed by his dead uncle and I might upset him with my aggressive typing!
I don't know him any more...
Well...the egg is obviously full of lols. That said, it's not to say her claims don't deserve genuine consideration. We've gone bat-shit with the use of WiFi / mobiles in the last few years and do we [i]really[/i] understand the impacts?
*rubs egg*
She is the part of a bell that's not the beginning or middle. Total idiot. Does the business owner not have the professional mind to sort her out?
Histrionic personality disorder
We definitely need at photo of the egg.
Why don't you start taking a collection of your own comedy eggs into work?

TBH, I wouldn’t want to live close to high-voltage pylons and cables either, the voltage causes issues through metal structures even some distance away; I used to cycle over to Castle Combe circuit to watch the racing sometimes, and Quarry Corner is directly underneath a set of high-voltage cables, which caused me to get strong electric shocks if I touched any metal parts of the Cannondale I was riding at the time! Proper cattle fence type shocks as well.
Then there’s the persistent buzzing especially if the air’s a bit damp. That’s a strong electromagnetic field being generated, and I wouldn’t feel at all comfortable living close to that.
Wi-fi and phone masts on the other hand I have no issues with, there’s a bloody great O2 4G mast about 75 metres away from my house, I’m just glad to have a really strong signal on my phone...
I do remember someone doing an experiment with a bunch of students who were whining about suffering health issues from a phone mast, so a temporary one was set up nearby and they were asked to note their reactions to it.
Then it was switched on and they were asked for their reactions now it had been turned off...
I think we can all figure the fairly predictable result of the experiment.
The emf warriors group is closed, did you have to join to see that?
Plus got parasites in her brain due to emf....... Wt actual f
Can she really feel these effects?We had a recent conflict in the office and the following day she brought in a large white crystal egg thing which was apparently to ‘soak up the negative energy’ and proudly placed it on the end of her desk and between the two bickering parties to ward away such things. She also has a collection of shiny stones and herbs in her desk...
There you have your question and answer.
[url= https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldo_(short_story) ]Scifi [/url]beat her to it along while ago.
Suffering from an irrational fear doesn't mean that she's not suffering. I hope you can both work out a way of working.

That would be a prompt to me to argue angrily and incessantly with anyone about anything, and the nearer the crystal, the more heated the argument.
There was a UK doc where they got a pile of these 'sensitive people' stuck them in a stately home in the middle of nowhere well beyond any mobile coverage at the time. Wheeled an event mobile mast into the front courtyard and told them it was operating at full power, after two days they were genuinely hospitalising people. It was a shame there was no power to it at all.. and for the second week when it was 'switched off' the onsite doctor no longer had any visitors or need to refer anyone.
Has she banned the use of Microwave ovens yet? Have you dared tell her what frequency that operate on?
Quality thread. Rather you than me OP 😉
Oh yes, the fun we could have describing RF burns (been there) and the amazing properties of a Tornado radar at ground level full power into a local field (paging Col)

Are you mad! with hers as well everyone will be overdosing on excess positive energy.
Actually with your well established sensitivity to positive egg energy I think it was pretty cavalier of her to just go bringing in such a powerful object
[quote=CountZero ]TBH, I wouldn’t want to live close to high-voltage pylons and cables either
Agreed - I did once live under pylons and there was a noticeable affect on things. Totally different to mobile phone masts or wifi.
[quote=Russell96 ]Has she banned the use of Microwave ovens yet? Have you dared tell her what frequency that operate on?
They're not really supposed to emit any radiation though - I presume they do leak a bit though, so what level is their emitted power relative to that emitted by a wifi hub or a phone mast?
[quote=Russell96 ]Oh yes, the fun we could have describing RF burns (been there) and the amazing properties of a Tornado radar at ground level full power into a local field (paging Col)
Again we're talking somewhat different stuff - I have worked at transmitter sites with proper high power transmitters and they had quite reasonable rules on having to switch things off before approaching the antennas.
The whole point is to bring out into the open that there are a broad spectrum of devices also pumping out RF that their tinfoil club hasn't thought about, because it hasn't what could be considered as a typical antenna.
Do they go around flouncing at the mere presence of a 5 year old microwave oven that has not had an annual/regular microwave leakage test done on it??
Its like the cretins who protest against a mobile mast near to them but continue to use their phones, blithely unaware that the device next to them is ramping up its power because the nearest mast is further away. Inverse-Square law...
Ask her to remove her egg as you believe it is making you feel ill and see what she says.
They could move to somewhere that there's no Radio devices, Electricity? forget about it as the passage of electrons down a wire generates a magnetic field around it, hmm how do we go about generating a radio signal? ... Move to the middle of nowhere, no radio, no electricity, hmm that big yellow thing in the sky? ooo it pumps out all kinds of stuff....
Sounds like her chacras need aligning or there is an imbalance in her chi. Buy her some mood crystals or some other shit and continue using the wi-fi
The famous egg, in all its glory.

'Rude Health' - how appropriate.

Classic conflict ovoidance strategy
😆 that bloomin' egg! 😆
Where do you work, Infinity Foods?
Behold!! The egg of peace. *bows low*
I'm more interested in the hot chocolate sauce behind it. That'd pacify me!

Ludwegg?
Could that egg sort out the Middle East?

I think you need to start referring to it as her love egg. See if you can get the rest of the office to do so also.
Also,
Is it just the perspective in the photo, or is that not actually egg-shaped?
Do you need to take more photos and stick them in an albumen?
Is it not possible to configure the router to turn all its status lights off ? If not then duck tape should do. That and set SSID to not broadcast of course 🙂
I think it's clear what has to happen next.... the egg must disappear.
Time to do a H&S risk assessment and as a result issue a set of Tin foil PPE which she is required to wear or build a Faraday Cage around her desk.

No no no. You're not playing the long game.
Find out where she bought it from. Buy a series of near-identical but increasingly slightly smaller ones. Secretly swap it out with the next size down every couple of weeks. See how long it takes for her brain to explode.
It was connected to the same network, via Ethernet, but it definitely worked better after the move
In theory if there was some weird routing going on that is feasible. Unlikely but not completely implausible.
Entirely plausible. Assuming it was unplugged to move it and then plugged in again, everyone knows turning it off and on gain fixes all problems.
