does it block wifi radiation? how does it compare to Harapad?

I don't know about wifi radiation, but it certainly sells as an EMF shield. Laptops can emit harmful amounts of radiation, up to 50x recommended safe levels.

Hi Vasim, thank you for your question. The DefenderPad blocks 99.99% of WiFi (Radio Frequency (RF) radiation) from the laptop going in the downward direction. It does not block WiFi from the top of your laptop or affect your ability to connect to internet however. The DefenderPad creates a physical barrier between the user and the device, preventing Radio Frequency (RF) radiation as well as Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) radiation from passing through to the lap. If you visit the DefenderShield web site, you can view independent FCC certified laboratory testing that substantiates our claims of shielding effectiveness. We cannot speak to other products, but when researching and investigating products, it is best that you look for independent and unbiased testing from laboratories qualified to establish shielding performance. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us directly through our web site!

I'm not sure since I have the Wifi version of the pad. However I love the case it is well worth the money.

It is an ANTENNA. It works well. Hacking WiFi and Packet Injection (hijacking connections/phishing/stealing information/man-in-the-middle attacks and other illegal activities) don't have anything to do with the Antenna.That's it.

The same type of radiation comes from the wireless antennas on tablet devices and laptops so I would say "Yes" that it would work the same way.

Baby Monitor HD by SunshineApps is the app recommended by the WiFi Baby people and works well for us. The added benefit is that if you have a technical question or issue with the monitor's function with your mobile device, the tech help guys will be very familiar with the app and easily walk you through the correct settings, etc. I'm not sure how experienced they are with other software. Anyway, I can't imagine any other app working better, although maybe some others are cheaper. The WiFi Baby recommendation was good enough for me.

This is not for a stronger signal but the band or type of wifi. If you computer does not get N. The regular bear is for a weak signal. Works on OS X.

Not that I can tell. I also have a 2.4ghz cordless phone system and just installed a smart (wifi) thermostat and I can't detect any impact on the computer wifi performance. Although, my kitchen laptop is on the fringe of useable signal so I installed an Ethernet 'powerline' adapter there sometime ago and Skype 'problems' solved. If you own a smartphone download the Wifi Analyzer, it will show you your signal strength and other info so you can get a good idea if you may be on a fringe area of your wifi. The Wolverines BTW utilize different channel frequencies and don't show on the analyzer cause they are not 'wi-fi' devices. Not that I can tell.

There is something to understand here. I love my Kindle, it has about zero radiation when the wireless or 3G function is turned OFF. Do you understand? Why use a Kindle with the wireless function on? There is no need once you download your book. So this product would not be necessary in any way for a Kindle. If you are using the wireless function on the Kindle, this pad would block the radiation on the backside of it, but do absolutely nothing for the wireless signal shooting out the sides and front. Hope this helps.

I don't think it interferes with the WIFI but the WIFI may interfere with it. It looks connection on a regular basis and has to be reconnected.

It's actually very easy to turn off - there's a menu on the player where you can disable it. In all actuality the wifi functions are a gimmick and I don't think anyone really uses them anyways.

All wireless devices are going to have different signal strengths through walls and buldings. For instance metal walls will really block your wireless signal no matter what device you use or wattage. You'll have some success through sheetrock and other material, but windows and open areas are the best for any wireless signal. Too many walls or buildings and you'll either have no wireless signal or very low quality of signal.

I don't think there's a significant difference. Both seem to work well enough for me. If you have problems with wireless radio reception, you might suspect your radio firmware, your ROM, or your phone's logic board.

Yes, works great. I didn't use NOOB. Rather I dd'ed the image directly to the sdcard. I've used both the vanilla raspian as well as wheezy-octopi raspian images. Both work fine on the A and B+ models. To disable the power saving feature of the device do this. If you don't the rpi will turn the wifi device off after a period of time: vi /etc/modprobe.d/8192cu.conf insert into this file: options 8192cu rtw_power_mgnt=0 For static IP addresses, edit /etc/network/interfaces, replace the contents with (adjusting IPs as required): auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet static address 10.100.100.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 10.100.100.1 auto wlan0 allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet static address 192.168.100.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.100.1 wpa-passphrase yourpassphrase wpa-ssid yourssid Then reboot. YMMV....

Yes - I think so BUT it blocked the wi-fi signal to the tablet, very weird.

I'm assuming you mean AP/Client mode. If you were to have a 5GHz internal or external WiFi card on your laptop and you must disable AirMax on the Nano. The attended purpose for these radios is backhaul and CPE. If you're looking for a AP go with the Unifi AP's or the Picostation M2.

Yes, mine uses wifi a lot, and as long as the wifi itself is solid, it works really well for browsing, even on full websites.

I use a JacobsPart wifi Router in a mobile home from my son's wifi about 300' away (I cannot even pick up FM radio without an outside antenna). I get 3 bars which equals good signal. It works great. Of course I am not on the computer that much, but it works aytime I connect. And his home has aluminum siding to pass thru also.
