From Principle to Practice: Unveiling the Mystery of WiFi Signal Jammers
In our information-based society, the internet is practically ubiquitous. People watch videos in cafes, chat on the subway, and even find themselves glancing down at their phones in classrooms and meetings. Meanwhile, a frequently mentioned device—the WiFi signal jammer —has gradually entered the public eye. Often considered a powerful tool for "blocking the internet," it even evokes a certain mystery.

When a phone or computer communicates with a router, information is transmitted using these frequencies. The principle of a WiFi signal jammer is straightforward: it emits a strong interfering signal in the same frequency band, drowning out normal WiFi data transmission and preventing the device from establishing a stable connection with the r...
