Home security systems are more adaptable and in tune with your life than ever before. The primary problem is, intruders are adapting as well. As modern home security systems in Chandler have become reliant on wireless signals, thieves have discovered a way to block them via Wi-Fi jamming. Read more about this criminal behavior and what the home security experts at ADT are doing to combat it.

What Is Wi-Fi Jamming?

Wi-Fi jamming is a form of cyber intrusion in which a gadget inundates radio frequencies often used in home Wi-Fi networks. Essentially, it stops smart home equipment like cameras and sensors, from functioning and communicating properly. You can consider your home’s Wi-Fi frequencies as information highways that transport data from one location to another. A Wi-Fi jamming instrument produces a traffic jam, preventing the transmission of data and eventually shutting down your security entirely. 

Despite the fact that Wi-Fi jamming is unlawful in America, preventing it is challenging. Even so, ADT is doing its part to minimize the impact of this criminal pursuit.

How ADT Keeps You A Step Ahead

The home security experts at ADT strive to keep your family members protected and your Chandler home security away from malicious actors. Here are a couple of the ways ADT circumvents intrusions from Wi-Fi jamming:

• Interference-free communications. As an alternative to depending on Wi-Fi entirely, ADT integrates another communications option, Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications–Ultra Low Energy (DECT ULE). This technology is effective for security systems, home automation, and other low-power, longer-range purposes. DECT ULE runs at frequencies different than the typical 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi bands, which are more susceptible to Wi-Fi jamming.
• Cellular support. ADT knows that home security systems need more than one method of communication. With that in mind, ADT’s well-equipped smart homes come with cellular support, giving you added reliability with redundant communications. With cellular and DECT ULE alternatives, you have a layered defense against wireless threats and a way to reach monitoring agents if Wi-Fi is compromised.

While your home security is ready to counter this threat, ADT is defending you in other ways.

ADT Supports Law Against Wi-Fi Jamming Tools

Leading the way in residential security for more than 150 years, ADT recently spoke on behalf of legislation to make using Wi-Fi jamming equipment a criminal offense. Oregon Senate Bill 959 was ratified on May 22, 2025, placing Wi-Fi jammers on the state’s registry of burglary instruments. Even though the bill is a welcome victory against intruders, ADT is aware there is more to be done and is currently urging other states to take similar action.
