Most experts agree there is no scientific evidence to suggest WiFi signals have any effect on a developing fetus, but that hasn't stopped a Chinese tech company from adding a "pregnancy" setting to its new router.
The company, Qihoo 360, told VICE News that the router is one of its flagship products, and the latest version has a setting for pregnant women. A competing tech company, Xiao Mi, took to social media to say WiFi was safe and Qihoo 360's setting was a marketing ploy.
