Wireless router or mobile braodband?

starmanxxxx
I have recently bought a laptop, wireless keyboard & mouse and will be parting with my desk top as a consequence of Electo-magnetic-field sensistivity:as the condition only happens after I have been on the desktop PC or near flourecent lights. I was considering trying a wireless router presently I have cabled broadband. My question - is there any difference between mobile broadband(USB stick) or using a wireless router and cable broadband to someone suffers from EMS? I should state that all other electricals don`t affect me such as mobile cell phones ect...just when I am close to PC or flourecent light. All views appreciated.(UK).

Having never done comparative measurement between the two, I can't say for certain, though I would imagine either one would have rather high RF emissions; I know different people feel differently around certain types of frequency, but if you've got that sensitivity, I would very much recommend not using wireless anything!

A less mobile option, but safer, and at least generally more tolerated, is cable or fiber optic internet, from a wired router. Tom Unrelated advises Cat. 7 shielded ethernet cable over the normal Cat. 5 (I have a lot of upgrading to do, myself).

I would also ditch the wireless keyboard and mouse; not only do they probably have similar lower frequency RF as their wired counterparts, but...well...they're wireless, and emit more high frequency RF that you should be keeping away from.

There are a number of things you can do to improve your laptop, modem, and computer peripherals - unfortunately, I must go to bed now, but I'm sure some others will pitch in some advice.

All the best, and take care!
