Step 1: Disable Wi-Fi On PS4
Both the settings below must be off to disable the Wifi emissions from the PS4.
- Hardwired Ethernet connection to PS4
- Settings -> Network -> Internet Connection -> Use Lan
- Disable PS Vita and PS TV Connections
- Settings -> Remote Play Connection Settings -> Connect Directly With PS Vita / PS TV -> Deselect.
Step 2: Disable Bluetooth On PS4 Console and Controllers
- Use USB connected controller(s) (tested with Dualshock 4 controller). There are two USB ports on the PS4 so if you plan on using 3 or 4 controllers you will have to use a USB hub (Google PS4 USB Hub).
- Settings -> Devices -> Controllers -> Communications Method -> Use USB
PS4 Super Low EMF Setup Special Notes
- PS4 Second Screen App requires Wi-Fi for the device using the app (not for the PS4).
- PS4 Remote Play App works over hardwired Ethernet connection to your cell phone or tablet. (See Wireless Devices Best Practices for more information).
EMF Measurements
Note there is a monetary wireless emission when the PS4 first starts up (200,000 uw/m2 peak) and when you first connect the controller (16 ,000 uW/m2). The super low EMF emissions from the PS4 after these momentary initializations are complete are the following:
- Radio Frequency Power Density: 1 uW/m2 peak
- Measured with meter resting on top of PS4 (Safe and Sound Pro II 650 MHz to 10 GHz)
- AC Magnetic Field: 1 mG RMS @ 1.5 feet
- Measured with NFA1000 3D Magnetic Fields (5 Hz to 1 MHz)
- Dirty Electricity: 54 GS Units
- Measured on the same outlet as PS4 using Stetzerier Meters
