    It’s not about the wifi, it’s the perception of wifi.

    These people get upset when they think there’s wifi, actual wifi is irrelevant. You can gut a router and fit the case with an AA battery and an LED and they’ll have ‘symptoms’ if they see it.

    Set up an access point to broadcast dozens of SSIDs so they see tons of wifi when they open the wifi screen on their phones.

      My aunt used to get these terrible itches and headaches when she visits us, untill I turn off the wifi.

      Some minor experimenting has lead me to a breakthrough though. I found she’s not allergic to wifi, but to green indicator LEDs. Ever since I disabled the LED, her problems have been solved!

      My husband won’t let me tell her though. Something about “live and let live”.

      Yup, this is the way. Get a cheap ESP32 or something and put several hundred SSIDs on it. There is no way they are looking at the spectrum itself.

      I think that’s true, and that’s why this person should put a fake 5G mast on the roof facing the new neighbour.

        Put an old colander in the window pointed at their house. It doesn’t need to be radio-related at all, imaginary allergies can be triggered by imaginary allergens.
