How can I make my flat 5g wifi emf free?

Short of building your entire flat from scratch around the principles of a Faraday cage and/or having really thick walls you aren't going to accomplish it.



Many years back there was a thread, possibly on Reddit, where people had moved into houses and found stuff like that setup and/or rooms where the/a previous owner had rebuilt them as Faraday cages.

EDIT: Similar post here https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/new-house-has-faraday-cage-in-the-loft-room.18614135/ I thought I'd seen something here as well.

The only sane reason for doing that would be if someone wanted to work on communications equipment and ensure that it couldn’t radiate a signal beyond the room. Cloning/wiping stolen mobile phones or examining something the alphabet agencies really don’t won’t you to have and such like.

Used the RF tents before in my previous telecoms life to block out the local cellular network while injection a simulated network for roaming testing. Nowhere near as effective as the purpose built shielded chambers, but much cheaper and don’t cause floor loading issues.

People get crazy just at the mention of RF/EMC test equipment sharing a building with them. I had a perfectly sensible and normally reasonable senior manager at Apple start to have a meltdown because she thought I was going to give everyone cancer by having several RF test systems installed in the building. Because I worked on new stuff, no-one outside the my team was allowed inside our area which made them all suspicious.

I had to patiently explain that I was only testing iThings like the ones everybody in the building spent hours using everyday at the same signal levels they all used. The only reason I have these large metal chambers is so that the stuff I’m testing doesn’t register on the local EE cell and that everyone nearby doesn’t register on my test equipment.
 
well, have you considered one of these: https://5gbioshield.com/shop/5g-bioshield-usb/ ? The description makes it sound amazing - I'm astounded a usb stick can offer so much protection, but hey it's been put in writing in the advert so they must feel confident it achieves what they say it will, even if it does seem to defy the physics I was taught at school.

Also, earlier posts about Tin Foil Hats made me chuckle and remember this:

Cover your whole house in tin foil. That should do it.

I went to look a property last month, a few doors down there was a house that had every window and door covered in tin foil. I'd like to think that it was just a cannabis farm but I suspect it was a tinfoil hat lunatic.

We didn't make an offer on the property.

But that might get a bit cold, so also put some expanded foam insulation between the foil and the brick, and then call it insulated cladding. Then market it without any meaningful fire rating testing for use on high-rise tower blocks and then..... oh, no wait. No, Please don't do that. That would be reckless and irresponsible. It's a good thing people have more sense than to do that! <sigh>

It can be as simple as to reduce solar gain and avoid the need for net curtains. Looks awful, and bad for wildlife (birds attack the window until they batter themselves to harm) and no place for it IMO.

How do you test a cellular device in a chamber when it relies on connection to a network for it to do its thing??

I wonder how many they've actually sold.

After having a look on that hilarious website (created in may 2019 from memory) their social media reach attracts about 4 likes maximum so I would hazard a guess they've sold none unless a complete moron thought it was a good idea :o

I did notice there is a feedback / user comment form. Wonder how many comments they've had calling them out for essentially scamming folk with a useless product :D

You posted without any follow up for the reason you wanted to get rid of EM fields.

This led most people here, myself included to think you have some belief that EM fields = bad...then by extension, you're maybe a 5G conspiracy believer.

If you elaborate on the reason for the request and it's something genuine, you'd probably have a better experience here.
