I saw reports of this 2 years ago now it’s even worst. This needs to be banned

    I agree although presumably when you add more devices and types of signal you can build a much richer picture without 3 access points.

    For example, in my living room I have a cordless landline, Bluetooth soundbar speaker, WiFi access point, a fixed media box that uses WiFi. Presumably you could build a picture from the interference patterns of these different types of device, which are all on similar frequencies (2.4GHz ish).

      Research from a few years ago was able to measure gait (so a person’s height and build etc) from the wifi shadow of a single router.

      I assume 3 is to get the super accurate placement.
