Is it true that wifi is bad for you?

Question

In terms of radiation.

Answer 1

No: There was a documentary a year or so back where some cranks put across the case it was harmful, but all of their claims have completly lost credibility when properly analysed.  No reputable scientist believes wifi is harmful.

Answer 2

No

The power is super low

Answer 3

I've read articles saying both ways...radio is a form of radiation but I don't think I'd worry about it - you're probably exposed to way more radiation other ways so I wouldn't worry about wifi, especially since it's low-power.  I wouldn't want a router under my pillow at night but I don't worry about it being in my room.

2.4GHz radiation:

microwave ovens (if they leak) - very dangerous and high power

some cordless phones

most computer networks

bluetooth wireless

wireless video senders

wireless survalence cameras

car alarm systems/remote-starters

Other radiation around you:

cell-phones

commercial microwave radio links

TV & Radio signals

other cordless phones

anything else that's cordless/wireless

You get the picture...if you have a cordless phone wifi is about the same (or less) radiation than phones.

Answer 4

It is very handy if you don't want to drill holes in your house.  

Answer 5

it is not radiation

it is more of a radio signal, that is why cordless phones interfere with the signal

both arr 2.4ghz  radiowaves

Answer 6

It is very short range, this is because it  is legally regulated to a level where the radiation can not do any harm. A mobile phone has far more range, and you hold it up to your ear. I would not recommend chewing a working antenna, but you will suffer more damage from the sun.

Answer 7

The signal is not strong enough, its very low
