Is it legal to use wifi jammers or disrupt wifi signals in my own home?

Question

Hi
Do any of you know a way to disrupt the wifi network? The point is that the wifi doesn't work at all in a certain area.
Any ideas, diagrams, projects, ready-made devices?
And finally, the question - is it legal? Let's say I'll only do this in my own area (at home).

The network can be cut off in several ways. There are, among others special paints that block WiFi or cells. Apparently, there are also dedicated devices that interfere with selected 2.4 GHz areas, which you can say you can build yourself.

From software solutions, you can send deauth packets related to a specific MAC address of the client or broadcast to all clients of a given access point. On the victim's computer (s) then the message "Network cable is disconnected" appears.

I am not convinced about the legality of the above-mentioned ways ...

Disrupting someone else's networks is illegal, and you can get in the butt if you have a complaint or control. Unless you mean neutralization of these networks only in your own premises.

These types of topics should end up in the trash. I think that my colleague wants to cut someone's number but is not aware of the consequences, as the answer was above. I do not think that he would like to jam the net at home because it is not logical. Easier to turn off the transmitter, and that's it. Besides, the forum is there to solve problems, not create them.

Radio jamming is illegal for my grandfather's time for jamming the sound on the TV in a military unit (for fun).

Mates. The 2.4GHz band is the ISM band. Nobody will be interested in it whether there is WIFI interference or not. They won't even check with the analyzer. This is the way of things, more and more WIFI devices and the trash is no longer earthly. Wait a while and you will get the same effect as the author wanted to achieve. All the channels are clogged and nothing will work.

Therefore, I consider further considerations inconsistent with the rules of this forum.

And jamming the cells, e.g. during concerts, exams, etc.? Also illegal? Konrad.

I think that something like this requires the consent of a certain institution. I know that American prisons are jamming their cells.

You can do it on your own premises or facility, but that's probably not what this topic is about. And this also requires a permit in the case of public utilities.

And why does a colleague assume in advance that the author intends to break the law?
