I use broadband DSL internet through a dedicated telephone line and wrap my modem in heavy duty foil.  The modem gets hot but there has been no problem after a couple of years of use. I live in the boonies so it's a slow 1.5 mbps connection.  A RF meter shows that even on a wired connection, at startup it will briefly put out some signals over 700 MHz.

I am very affected by the signal coming off computer monitors.  The sound of this signal can be picked up with an AM battery operated radio on off-station mode. I can feel it farther beyond where the signal can be heard with the radio.

If using the Windows "shut-down" button to turn off, it will still remain on in standby mode and continue to send out RF. It has to be unplugged or put on a power strip with a turn-off button to really shut it down.

We have satellite TV at our house - unfortunately, but hubby would be sitting in bars watching football if we didn't. The satellite dish is far away from the house but a cable from it enters the house and puts out a tremendous amount of dirty electricity (again the AM radio test). An ES engineer showed us how to eliminate this problem with special cables.

FogTop - I am using a desktop, not a laptop. It does not have any built in wireless connectivity.

Patricia - No, I do not have one of those devices that sends the internet signal thru the electrical wiring of the house. I have a satellite internet provider. The satellite signal comes into a utility shed located about 50-60 yards from my house/cottage. The modem and/or router is located in the utility shed (I did not set all this up so not sure exactly what is configured in there). There is then wiring that runs to my cottage and I have a jack, similar to a phone jack for a landline phone, but which takes an internet cable. That is how I connect to the internet, by plugging a cable into that jack or outlet as I called it before. The other end of that cable is plugged into my desktop computer.

Hope that makes things clearer. Important to note, this problem is not specific to this setup. I have been sensitive to the internet signal in several places I have lived. There is something about the internet signal that really bothers me. I am surprised others do not have this problem.
