Good day to you, folks! I’ve recently heard that there is a way to jam a Wi-Fi connection with a microwave oven. Is that true?
This commitment was made following a meeting organized by the Federal Communications Commission, which was attended by several heads of prisons and those responsible for the wireless industry. It took place just weeks after a murderous riot in a South Carolina jail, attributed at least in part to smuggled cellphones.
To achieve broader change, supporters should always change a decades-old law that limits the ability of public agencies to scramble public airwaves. Nevertheless, they would probably have better chances if mobile phone companies were on board, Stirling said.
That’s quite a popular question) When we use a Wi-Fi connection we operate the 2.4 GHz frequency. You know, lots of devices operate at the same frequencies, Bluetooth, for example. And a lot of devices can emit signals on that frequency while working. To answer that question you need to know how a signal jammer works.
It simply creates the white noise on the specified frequencies on the certain area so the signal that carries information is simply blocked by that noise. Microwave oven is the device that can interfere with 2.4 GHz frequency, but I doubt that it can jam the signal totally. The other minuses are that that you cannot adjust the output signal power and to make a strong interference you’ll have to put an oven near the signal source. I do not recommend to experiment with the microwave to jam the Wi-Fi. The best way to block a Wi-Fi is to use the device that jams the Wi-Fi.
