Can the human body block the wifi?

Radio waves are attenuated by human tissue depending on their frequency but I would be surprised if one person's body produced a total cut off. I have noticed one door in our house that seems to weaken the signal if closed and of course WiFi doesn't necessarily penetrate equally well to all corners of a house because of attenuation by walls, especially solid ones.

I think it's entirely likely OP that this is the case.There are some people who routinely crash electrical gear just by using them or being next to them.
Get him a mancave and site it well away from you.?

I don't think I actually exist as I affect nothing - everything must pass straight through me. I'm an electrical/WiFi Super highway.

Haha this is a great question...

I can't wear watches, digital or analogue. I drain the batteries on battery operated watches and the mechanics on a wind-up watch just seize up. I was fine til my first pregnancy but whilst pregnant kept having to take my watch for repair because it was always stopping. Since then, I have not been able to wear a watch, even when I stopped procreating!

I used to work in a school office and there was one teacher who always managed to jam the photocopier, just by standing next to it! Spooky.

My OH seems to affect computers etc & not in a good way. Breaks the connection somehow by just being next to it. It even happens in shops.

Friend of mine stopped my watch just by sitting next to me on a car journey. On my way home, without her, the watch started working again. She frequently has this effect on electronic devices.

I swear my husband has weird electrical fields. That might actually be true as he has epilepsy and they already know he makes weird brain electricity. Anyway just one example is that any electronic equipment in his study goes glitchy at intervals and eventually we found the foolproof way to fix it was to simply put it somewhere away from him for a few days and it fixed itself.

Ah I think yes Bluetooth andcyes weak signal. It was driving me potty yesterday. Thanks primrose and nana geek.

If your WiFi signal to your iPad is weak, it could be that your DH coming between the router and your iPad is enough to block a degraded signal. Does it happen if you and the iPad are closer to the router or you move to somewhere else in the room? Or Primrose65 has the answer. I doubt DH is 'interfering'. (Or is he?)

I don't think your DH has magic computer crashing superpowers (not sure what his superhero name would be? No-computer man?) However, he might have a mobile phone in his pocket which has Bluetooth switched on. Sometimes that can cause a Wifi signal to drop.

I stop our radio signal when I get too close. And I do wonder about the wifi as our internet, which drops out regularly is worse if I'm between the router and iPad/laptop. It sounds logical to me.

I have rotten radio reception, all crackly and fuzzy unless I stand between the radio and the oven. Then it's as clear as a bell. So your DH syndrome but in reverse!
