I was wondering this because I have a wireless 802.11 b router in the same room I work and sleep in, and it's turned on 24-7. I worry about getting brain cancer from its radio waves. If anyone could tell me any truths to these assumptions, please respond!

The output from it is not even close to the waves you are already exposed to on a daily basis from other devices and radio/tv stations.

Wifi is radio right, then no worries. If it used microwaves then well that would be a problem.

Ah, microwaves are radiowaves.

i wouldn't worry about WIFI, but sometimes i wonder about the cell phone that sits in my pocket, only 6 inches from my family jewels.

I work at a company that makes networking devices. I have 11a, 11b, 11g, and super g signals all around me. I fire up my network finder and I can see 11 different APs.

In short I'll probably get brain damage/cancer faster than you so don't worry! :beer:
