The discussion revolves around the effects of enclosing a router in metallic foil, specifically aluminum, as part of an experimental inquiry into signal emission and shielding. Participants explore the implications of this action, drawing parallels to microwave oven construction.
Participants express varying levels of interest in the experiment, with some advocating for practical trials while others provide technical insights into the effectiveness of shielding. No consensus is reached regarding the outcomes of the proposed experiment.
The discussion lacks detailed technical specifications regarding the effectiveness of aluminum foil as a shielding material compared to other methods. Assumptions about the router's signal characteristics and the nature of the experiment remain unaddressed.
If you put the router into a good quality shielded box with RF filtering on the power going into the box, very little of the RF signal will get out of the box (or into it from outside). Wrapping aluminum foil around the router will have some shielding effect, but nowhere near what a good shielded enclosure with filtered power will have.kos said:
