The emergence of sophisticated theft techniques has rendered traditional security measures, such as cameras and burglar alarm systems, potentially ineffective. Thieves have developed methods to disrupt Wi-Fi signals, which can compromise the functionality of these systems. Law enforcement officials recommend that homeowners and business owners implement additional strategies to protect themselves from such criminal activities.

Contemporary residences predominantly depend on Wi-Fi signals to operate security system burglar alarms and surveillance devices, such as doorbell cameras.

Law enforcement officials recommend that residents consider converting their Wi-Fi surveillance systems to wired connections. They advise consulting with network providers or electricians to establish a direct connection between the burglar alarm system and the router using cables. This approach eliminates reliance on Wi-Fi, thereby mitigating the risk posed by Wi-Fi jammers.

The FCC advises consumers to promptly reach out to their internet service provider if they experience interruptions in their home Wi-Fi. This action will help determine whether the issue stems from a device malfunction or if it may be the result of someone employing a signal jammers to disrupt the service.
