Best Wi-Fi Jammer Protection?
Wireless devices are a technological marvel and are amazingly convenient for our lives. We rely on wireless signals to communicate with each-other, monitor our loved ones, and protect our property. For wireless devices to work well in communal areas, they need to adhere to strict standards which limit how often they transmit, what frequencies they use, and how much energy they use to transmit; without these regulations, they would stomp all over each-other and no one would be able to use their devices! This is why the IEEE and FCC design and enforce rules around Wi-Fi works.
Unfortunately, not everyone plays by these rules, and bad-actors have realized they can buy illegal devices from overseas to flood and completely interfere with well-behaved Wi-Fi devices with Wi-Fi jammers. These jammers emit a constant, illegally strong RF noise on ALL of the frequencies covering Wi-Fi and more, to completely render wireless devices useless. The worst part is, there is no legal way to protect yourself against these attacks on your wireless devices. The only thing you can do is hard-wire your devices, but we know that for some people that can be prohibitively difficult, sometimes not possible, and extremely expensive.
Criminals know that when they use jammers, they are basically ghosts to your wireless security systems, and can take their time while ransacking your property; our mission at Wi-Fi Jammer Detector is to change that. Most existing wireless systems do not know the difference between jamming and simply going offline for benign reasons, so they do not even alert you when they go offline during a jamming attack, you don’t even realize it happened until it’s too late and you get home to find your property missing. Our Wi-Fi Jammer Detector was specifically designed to monitor the airwaves for jammers, and will notify you in real-time, remotely, through its hard-wired connection that someone may have knocked your cameras offline with a jammer, we believe this is the best protection you can have, an early-alert system.
Even more, sophisticated attackers have found flaws in the Wi-Fi protocol which let them fool your own devices into disconnecting from your router by spoofing or forging management messages in the air, this kind of attack is called a deauthentication flood and works differently than RF jamming. Our detector now supports monitoring of these frames, and alerts you when there is an abnormal amount of messages. Devices capable of these attacks are not as regulated as RF jammers and are easily accessible to criminals online which is troubling.
In summary, to best protect yourself, follow these guidelines:
Use a hard-wired (Ethernet or similar) connection to critical devices/sensors.
When you must use wireless, make sure your access-points and devices are capable in operating in dual or tri-band Wi-Fi.
Make sure that you are using the latest security features in your Wi-Fi configuration, such as WPA3/802.11w which implements protected management frames that prevents forgery (deauthentication flood attacks).
When you must use wireless, make sure that you are covered with remote alerting to RF jamming and deauthentication flood attacks with a jammer detector
