The likely most fruitful approach would be too try to prove their conclusion wrong. Have routers with the radio off. Have them on, with some plants shielded partly with metal. No experiment ever proves anything in the positive sense, but an experiment can show that something is not possible.

Shit, if this really worked, they could set up radio signals outside to prevent weed growth. It would save lots of money.

How are you going to make sure they get light? I get "partial", but that means you're letting in a bunch of "radiation" too.

Depending on how far the affect reaches, that may or may not be practical. I'm pretty sure having a router in the same room doesn't inhibit plant growth. People keep houseplants in the same room as WiFi all the time.

They literally did have a control with the router off. Did you even watch the video?

No, this kind of thing is garbage, and watching the video confirms, but also I see it's not the Danish one written about years ago which I mistakenly assumed. This one is even more ridiculous. Literally no growth. This thing could revolutionize some industries. Looks like it would keep things sterile. They could put WiFi in hospitals and have no more disease spread.

BTW I meant to have the same setup in both, only some extra metal shielding between the WiFi and plants, so that heat etc. was the same in both.
