PHOTO X-RAY BAGS AROUND THE ROUTER ANTENNA

Would a lead photo x-ray protective bag around the router/s antenna stop or
reduce the range of router for better security.

Lead photo x-ray protective bags were popular to ptotect photographic film
at airport entrance x-ray machines.

Against my better judgment...are you really serious?

Why not use strong encryption, ie. WPA2, and a long random key to
properly secure your wireless network. For example I use WPA2-Personal
(aka WPA2-PSK [AES]) with a 63-character random ASCII key. I also use a
unique SSID and broadcast my SSID so I don't have connectivity issues.

You might be interested in this... It probably a bit of overkill for
your typical home wireless environment...

Hi
After a while it probably reduce it to Zero.
The cover will block the air circulation the Router would work at higher
temperature and eventually will End its Life.
Check the Router's Wireless menus. Some Routers have a menu entry to adjust
the output of the Signal.
