Lucy,
I think you need you need to start considering non-wireless alternatives. You shouldn't have any Wi-Fi for your computer. That can be wired, and thewireless capability turned off.
It sounds daunting, to find alternative, non-wireless systems for your special needs due to being deaf. That sounds very specialized. How did deaf people get by, before electricity and wireless technologies? How did they get around these housing issues?
All best wishes to you,
Sue

I have been advised that this is probably contributing to my problems and that I should look for alternatives.
