5g and 6g seem to fry my brain. 6g routers are unbearable. Where can I find an old 2g only wireless router. I would like a good one and money isn't an object. Any ideas.

Use a wired connection. It's faster under most circumstances, and doesn't carry the risk of random cancer that the radio/microwave field totally doesn't know about now, but will 80 years down the road.

It's not the wireless frying your brain. You have an underlying health problem or there is some other toxin in your environment. Better to figure that out than tilting at windmills.

I use an old asus router as an AP with the 5G band disabled. They're 30-60 bucks on ebay. You can flash ddwrt tomato and merlin on them.

Well duh. Didn't think of that. I wonder if it still broadcasts any kind of signal though.

Try LiFi

Have a directed beam and just cover it up

Or maybe just install fiber optics, or cable

I couldn't see a way to directly purchase from them. If it was just me. I would definitely just directly connect. However. My wife daughters guests and sons. All want and need wifi. I can't be an old curmudgeon and deny it to them. Personally. I don't use any wifi.

Wifi tech and cell phone tech are different but it's easy to get them confused. Most wifi is 5ghz. 2ghz is the old standard.

5G is a radio wave frequency band.

The older mobile phones used microwave frequencies.

Use the older ones. Put a microwave up to your ear.

Go ahead.

I bet google would do that. There are other search engines and ways around that shit though.
