WIFI Router Radiation Shield
A WiFi router radiation shield is a Faraday-style metal mesh enclosure or cover that fits around your wireless router to reflect and attenuate part of the RF it emits. The goal is to lower wireless exposure in the rooms where you spend the most time, while the router still passes a usable signal to your devices.
Because a mesh shield lowers signal strength rather than cutting the connection, nearby devices usually keep working. Coverage in far rooms may drop, which you can offset with smart placement or a wired connection.
RF intensity drops quickly with distance, so keep the router away from beds, desks, and seating, and ideally in a hallway or less-occupied room. Combining smart placement with a shield gives the largest reduction where you rest, and many people switch the router off at night with a timer or outlet switch when no one is online.
Results depend on the router, the shield, and distance, so we recommend measuring with an RF meter in your living and sleeping areas before and after rather than assuming a fixed reduction.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a WiFi router radiation shield?
It is a Faraday-style metal mesh enclosure or cover placed around a wireless router to reflect and attenuate part of the RF it emits. The goal is to lower wireless exposure in the rooms where you spend the most time.
Where should I place my router to reduce radiation?
Because RF intensity drops quickly with distance, keep the router away from beds, desks, and seating, and ideally in a hallway or less-occupied room. Combining smart placement with a shield gives the largest reduction where you rest.
How can I lower router RF at night?
Many people switch the router off at night with a timer or outlet switch when no one is online, which removes that RF source during sleep. A shield helps for the hours the router must stay on near sleeping areas.
Will shielding the router slow my internet?
A mesh shield lowers signal strength rather than cutting the connection, so nearby devices usually still work. Coverage in far rooms may drop, which you can offset with placement or a wired connection.
How do I know the shield is actually helping?
Results depend on the router, the shield, and distance, so measure with an RF meter in your sleeping and living areas before and after. ClearEMF recommends a measurement-first approach rather than assuming a fixed reduction.
