Author Kate Figes, spent hundreds of pounds installing wireless internet in her Stoke Newington home, then found it made her so ill she had to scrap it.
Ms Figes, 49, claims she is so sensitive to wi-fi's electro-magnetic waves she can instantly tell whether it is installed in a particular room.
Author eh? Anyone sense a book about the horrors of Wi-Fi coming soon? 
She probably felt ill over spending 'hundreds of pounds' installing wireless in her home. She got seriously ripped off.
EDIT: ROFL @ her next book, 'The Big Fat Bitch Book' 
Wonder if she's stopped collecting her email from kate.figes@wyld.demon.co.uk due to all of these issues. |

| All I want to know is if she'd be willing to ship me all that usless wifi equipment of hers |

Heh... If you'd spent hundreds of pounds on WiFi equipment, you'd feel ill too. That's a serious amount of signal being thrown up (figure 20-30£ per AP, she musta had a dozen APs in her house!).

My only question is how does she discern Wi-fi from the multitude of other EM emissions that flood the area she lives in....Cell Phones...Microwaves..AM/FM radios...DBS...CB/HAM...granted they all use different freqs therefore she is subjected to varying wavelengths...but still... |

I have a minimum of eight wireless access points running in my house at any given time (partly for covering the entirety of the property and partly because I am using a WDS configuration to preclude the running of ethernet to difficult locations), I have suffered no ill effects from this equipment. Further, most of them are Linksys access points running third-party firmware...with boosted output power. |

In a particular room? I'm sorry, but my ONE wi-fi router gives out an EXCELLENT signal in EVERY room of my house. If she only "feels" sick when she is in the same room "where there is wi-fi," then her problem is psychological, not physical.
She is "getting sick" because she "thinks" there is wi-fi there; not because it is actually there. I bet she doesn't get sick in Starbucks.
