Scientists in Germany have demonstrated a startling new form of surveillance: identifying people using nothing more than ordinary WiFi signals. By analyzing how radio waves bounce around a room, researchers can effectively “see” and recognize individuals — even if they are not carrying a device and even if their phone is turned off.

The reason the FCC is only allowing the sale of state approved routers in the US?

      Wrap it in aluminum foil.

      Whilst this sounds a lot like a foil hat joke, that’s literally the easiest way to wrap something in a conductive material cage (i.e. a faraday cage).

      If you don’t want it to look ridiculous, put it inside a box whose inside has been lined with aluminum foil.

      Mind you, personally I too would just cancel that shit, but the option is there to carry on using it whilst blocking its radio emissions.
