Don't be fooled: Comcast's ‘10G’ doesn't mean what you think it does

Comcast says Xfinity offers 10G home internet, but the term "10G" is hazy and potentially misleading—especially because it has no relation to 5G for cell phones.

    I mean. Our microwave is one of those cheap countertop versions in our walk in pantry. I always leave the pantry if I run it. And tell my kids the same.

    Probably paranoia but their head is like, perfect height for the door on that thing.

      I can’t remember their frequency range. I’ll have to pull out the spectrum analyzer and feed horns to see what range its in tomorrow at work.

        Yeah. I KNOW they blast out on 2.4 and 5.9 GHz. Especially 2.4, but a ton of stuff does that.

        I just dont necessarily trust the sheilding on a $50 microwave and just prefer to take a few steps back. But again, probably just paranoia.

          I know I have a 5.9GHz horn, might have to make a lower freq one to test out the 2.4GHz range. Or go poor boy and run the end of a cable (N type is my goto) around the seals.

          I do know its in cell phone range because we used to put out phones in the microwave when we were oncall and did want to go in. Poor mans Faraday cage.

          And I wouldnt trust the seal, I have run a Narda of ours and its hands down the leakiest device/waveguide junction/etc around next to standing in the beam path.
