Why does it make sense? Are you afraid of tiny amounts of non-ionizing[0] radiation?
2.4Ghz is great for heating things at high power (my microwave outputs at 1200 watts), but the most powerful home routers only do about 0.2 watts. Cell phones can do about 1 watt, and you hold those up to your ear. In fact, it's been calculated that a year of wifi exposure is about the same as 20 minutes on a cell phone.[1]
And if non-ionizing radiation is anything to fear, you should be really afraid of the sun, which pumps it out at about 1000W per square meter[2].

- mybbor 16y agoThank you. This article is bad science!
- stretchwithme 16y agoYeah, wifi is in the most harmless category according to your first source. I stand corrected. I should have looked this up myself earlier. Thanks!
