Okay, please bear with me here, thanks for your patience:

1. So, correct me if I am wrong here then, but it sounds like if my current modem has grounded ports, but my current router does not have grounded ports, then a shielded cable would be safe and fine directly from the ungrounded port router into the desktop but a grounded port router would require a loop isolator to be installed at the router port before the cable enters the pc?


2. So an unshielded cable would not create the same negative loop energy that a shielded cable would though it could theoretically pick up and transmit unwanted EMI?


Is there any possible backfiring so to speak or anything that could theoretically as a possibility go wrong with all shielded cables connecting modems and routers which all have grounded ports even if your ground loop isolators are employed? 

3. Would it be more desirable to connect an unshielded cable from the grounded port modem into your router then shielded cables going out of the router? So with the grounded port modem and then your grounded port router a the ground loop isolator would be required at the router before connecting shielded cables to both the laptop and the desktop but the laptop would require your Ultimate USB To Ethernet to be connected at the laptop end? There's no possible resultant danger then of a build up of radiation through these completely shielded and grounded from all sides schemata?


Well, if anything goes wrong with your router at any point do you repair it free of charge?



1. So if I have grounded ports at both ends from both my modem and grounded ports on my

router as well, and then I connect your shielded cables between them and a

grounding adapter to each device (desktop and laptop), in theory should that be fine or in

theory could that create a negative energy loop and make the situation worse? Or do I not need an adapter for the desktop in this situation?

2. Also, if the ports on the modem were grounded but were not grounded on the router would that change the recommendation for the above situation, Shaun? I just ask because my current router does not have grounded ports but your router does.

3. What is the warranty on your router?


Gracious sincere thanks for all of your help!


Thanks again, Shaun!


No, my question was more about Verizon's ability to remotely switch on the radio signal of through their router even when I have the wifi supposedly disabled. If I am not using the Verizon IP address which they provided but an alternate proxy IP address which was not connected to Verizon's, would this not prevent them from being able to switch on the wifi remotely? I use a application called Namebench which finds the fastest connectivity possible proxy server/IP address then I go into my network settings and disable the Verizon IP and use the third party IP address. It does not seem that Verizon would be able to then remotely switch on the wifi if that were the case, no?


Okay, so the ethernet ports on the modem being grounded and the ports also being grounded on your router does not create any kind of a dangerous energy loop with both ends being closed regarding the desktop computer or does the desktop's power source being grounded prevent that from occurring?


Also, what is the warranty situation for your router?


Do you recommend your cat. 6 or cat. 7 shielded cables for my situation? Are there pros and cons for each?


 

Thanks, Shaun. I had no idea you sold a router. I'll look at yours.

My connection is FiOS and not cable. The modem's electrical connection is not grounded. The modem does have grounded ports however. The current separate Verizon router does not have grounded ports though. Does that change any dynamics regarding the ground loop EMI potential? With this in mind, would what you suggested above be the safest configuration for the desktop and laptop for the time being until I decide on a replacement router model?

Also, in theory, if the active IP address on both devices was changed to a proxy that was not the Verizon IP address, would that not prevent Verizon from being able to send a remote radio signal of any kind? 

Also, I just checked and the ports on my modem are grounded whereas the ports on my router are not grounded. They are separate units. If I purchased a low EMF router and its ports were also grounded like the modem's are would that create a different situation?

I am able to log into my IP address online and change my radio transmission settings to "off" but that does that mean Verizon would still be transmitting a radio signal? The SSID Broadcast settings are enabled and those cannot be adjusted or switched off however.


Yes, you may use these questions and post them publicly to help others. Maybe you want to edit down and condense these newer questions I have asked though.


Look forward to your further responses and thanks so much.

If Verizon were clandestinely pumping an intermittent wifi signal through their router even if I had the wifi disabled, then would a replacement router, such as the Ecos for example, prevent Verizon from being able to do that or would it not matter? It would also seem difficult to determine this accurately even with a meter alone for if Verizon were indeed doing such a thing then it could be something that theoretically could be done infrequently. In other words, yo would have to catch it with the meter at the right moment, no?


p.s.

I think I understand more clearly what you are saying regarding the router. Sorry I am so slow with this. The current router I have does not have metal trim and metal tabs going into the port on each side of the port. So if such is the case would all that would be necessary be a shielded cable from the router into the desktop pc and a shielded cable from the router into the laptop computer but with a single grounding adapter for the laptop?


My ideal length for the desktop is two 75 foot cables but I would prefer the cat. 7 but length is more ideal with the cat. 6 you sell. Is 7 more ideal than 6?


Under the circumstances, would you recommend a replacement router? 



Hello!!

Thanks so much!!!!

Please leave this open as I will likely think of a few more questions to ask but for now I wanted to tell you that the Verizon router is separate from the modem. I have to use their modem but I can use an alternate router if I choose to. I am compromised financially and would rather spend the money first on trying to make things as safe as possible. Do you think I should buy a different router such as an Ecos one, for example?

So the desktop computer requires no grounding adapter at all then? Only a shielded cable?

What would you recommend best of your products for grounding the macbook air laptop computer I have?

Thanks SO much again!


Best,
