so we know the side effect that it blows up any stargate that is activated. So what? the ancients had ships.
I suppose they were worried about the human worlds blowing themselves up by activating the stargates. but we know it is possible to shut off the entire stargate network using a virus (Baal did it). so the ancients who invented the stargates surely could have done that.
they could have disabled the stargates for a while, use the device to make the Wraith unable to reach anywhere, wait a while until they all die from starvation (and destroy all their ships to make sure no wraith survived by going into hybernation), then shut off the device and reactivate the stargate network.
my only guess is that Janus didn't tell the other ancients about this (but why not?).
the Aurora probably discovered about this. that was probably that 'great weakness' in wraith technology that they talked about.
