For cable modems, we always recommend using the Ethernet Ground Loop Isolator between the modem and the router.  For FIOS you could hook the modem up directly to the router I believe - as the modems are not grounded.  Though perhaps to be safe it's best to use the isolator.  Then I would have your desktop directly plugged into the router.  Then I would isolate with the ethernet ground loop isolator any and all other Ethernet cables where they plug into our router.

You can never trust a router supplied by an Internet Service Provider.  We have seen far too many routers that even when you think you've turned the WiFi off, they still are putting out the signal.  All settings can be off, the WiFi light can go off, and we have still seen the radiation pumping out of the routers.  Likewise, as you said, the ISP could reset/update the router at any time and get rid of your settings or turn on some settings you can't see and cause radiation to again be transmitted 24/7 from the router without you knowing.  The only way would be to check regularly with an RF meter.  But if you use our router, you won't have to check - the ISP cannot change settings on our router.  It is in your control completely, and you can always expect it to emit the lowest possible radiation when WiFi is on.  And you can also turn off WiFi on our router with the push of a button at any time you wish.

Thank you for allowing us to share your questions and answers!

We have not tested the Ecos router.  But I am confident our router is better - lower emissions.  I have heard specs of the other router, and our specs are better for low emissions.  Correct, your desktop computer just needs a round shielded cable.

The Ultimate USB to Ethernet is the one we recommend for the laptop.

Hello,

I have a Verizon FiOS modem and router and their modem is fixed so it cannot be replaced by another. Their routers are separate units. 

Do you need to use their router which is a separate unit?  Or can you use your own router with their modem?

I am able to turn the wifi off when logging into my account though I do not know if that sufficiently blocks wifi signal from getting through. I also believe that I can log directly into the router online and fine tune its settings by typing my IP address into any web browser but have not done that yet in order to double check if radio signal is disabled from there.

You would absolutely need to double-check with a good RF meter, because you can NEVER believe the settings of the router as far as emissions of the router.  Routers can emit even when the wireless light is off and everything is disabled and looks and says disabled.

I want to try to eliminate the wifi entirely and connect both a Macbook Air to a grounded ethernet connection from the router as well as to ground my iMac desktop computer. I need your shielded cables and grounding adapters I am presuming. But do I need a grounding adapter for the desktop computer as well? 

Yes, we recommend our round high-quality shielded cables, Cat6 or Cat7 are both good.  The desktop is already grounded and will ground the cable you plug into it.

The desktop computer's power cable is all ready grounded so will the grounding adapter be necessary for that device or just a shielded cable extending from the router?

(see above)

Also, what would you recommend for grounding an iPhone? The phone cannot be grounded at all times though, obviously.

I want to ground all connections and have the wifi turned off completely in order to lower EMF exposure as well as to eliminate EMI exposure from all devices.

If you are using the phone on battery it doesn't not need to be grounded.  If you are using it while it is plugged-in to a charger, please use our USB Grounding Adapter.  You would place this in-between the charging block/brick/wall-plug and the USB charging cable.  You will need a charging cable that has a standard USB A on one end.

So I want to ground connections, correct? Does the router itself need to be grounded?

The router itself would need either a USB port or groundable metal ethernet ports that have the metal trim and metal tabs going into the port on each side of the port.  If it has these groundable ports, the router will becoming grounded when it is plugged-into your desktop PC.  Then we actually recommend isolating this ground and grounding laptop devices and phones AT THE DEVICE itself with another adapter.  You would isolate the grounds by using the Ethernet Ground Loop Isolator and plugging that isolator into the router.  This is only needed if the router has groundable metal ports.  You would use an isolator for every other ethernet run besides the desktop computer.  Then you would ground laptops ideally with the Ultimate Grounding USB to Ethernet Adapter

Please let me know what you recommend that I pick up.

Thanks for all help!

You bet - thanks again for your patience.  I hope that this helps to clear things up.  Please reply if you have any additional questions.  Would it be OK with you if we made your questions and these answers public so that they could benefit other people?

You can also offer your neighbors one of our WiFi routers, starting with the neighbor with the most powerful WiFi closest to your sleeping area I would recommend.  It's very hit-and-miss on which routers can be adjusted.  Flashing the firmware is very risky too - it's not something you would be able to convince a neighbor to do.  So only if the current firmware on their router allows some power adjustment and also beacon rate or beacon interval adjustment...

Or just give them our router and it's ready to go :)

There are lots of electromagnetic exposures in the car that could affect sleep.  The lighting and display screens and blue light are one.  Microwave (radiofrequency) radiation from the Bluetooth, WiFi, etc built-in to the car is another.  You should measure with an RF Meter to see what the car is producing.

Another exposure can be lane assist/blind-spot assist (radar).  Then you have the ignition system and arcing (high frequencies) and alternator, and all of the metal moving parts in the engine compartment.  Lastly that I can think of for now would be steel-belted tires.

Cars are LOADED with unnatural EMF to summarize.  It could most certainly interfere with sleep among many other issues.

the Acousticom 2 will NOT measure 5G.  Since it only goes to 8Ghz that is far far far bwlow 5G frequencies which are around 30 Ghz

I totally agree that we (humans) don't really know what we're doing when it comes to generating all of these signals, and we're causing terrible harm to ourselves and all life on the planet because of it.  Great analogy of kids with a chemistry set.  This is far worse though.  Like kids with explosives, radioactive material, and mercury and arsenic.

You might consider a SineTamer instead of the Satic.  I've heard some really good things about them and we are starting to carry them.

The DNA filters are also good and I think when combined the RxDNA 3LF and RxDNA V2X are great.  They cover a large frequency range together.
