Back to IR ? NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Or have the antennas outside the cage ... for example, take a laptop .... Faraday cage as the casing of the mobo (e.g. where keyboard is etc), antennas around the screen (as is already today in most laptops) ... That is what the comment@rd up there was on about, or at least, how I understood it.

On a desktop, same, get a Faraday-cage case and buy a USB dongle/PCI-e wifi card with external antenna (if you need wifi on your desktop) .... done.
