WLAN Health risks?

[miotas]

Light bulbs emit radiation that is more harmful.

Would be hard to come up with long-term studies for something that has not been around for all that long. But then we've been sending all sorts of electromagnetic waves through the air for decades now.
What is relatively certain is that your router will not fry you alive.

This.

@Monk: you are looking at the wrong way. As with any consumer oriented product: don't ask “how dangerous is the router”, ask: “how dangerous is the idiot who uses it, how great his ingenuity for converting it into a WIFI enabled toaster”? Routers, for instance, come with explicit warnings that you should not open it because it may result in your untimely deep fried demise (well, a rather nasty shock more like as it's only a few Watt at 10KV or so).

But WIFI signals are simple radio signals in the 2.4-5Ghz spectrum which is used for just about every wireless peripheral not using IR signals. Think wireless mice and keyboards, bluetooth devices and certain types of remote controls.

It's non-ionizing radiation.

With high enough power (see microwave ovens), it could burn you. But, you'll never encounter that with an off-the-shelf wireless router. Otherwise, there isn't much to worry about.

Edit:Also....

I thought a discussion on the health risks of WLAN must be ancient :D
