Hi, Do you use cordless phone or cell phone? Then well?

Light reading:

with lots of references and URL's.

Using the calculator at:

I find that a typical +15dBm 2.4GHz xmitter, into a typical 2dBi antenna, is safe beyond 0.097ft in a controlled environment and

0.155ft in an uncontrolled environment. In other words, about 2" or furthur is safe.

Yes. It turns off the transmitter.

Why not just unplug the power? That is what I do here - then it is 100% secure when I don't need it Much faster & easier than messing with the browser, and less chance to mess it up.

Or do you just want to disable the wireless part and leave the wired part in operation? On some models yo can flip a switch or remove the antenna.

About two inches.

Your computer monitor is emitting RF. Turn it off quick...

(seriously, this isn't something to worry about.)

Thanks for the replies! I know that alone it probably isn't that harmful, but I am taking into account the burden of exposure over time (e.g., a lifetime of exposure to my computer, router, microwave, cell phone and anything else that I don't know about). Thanks again.

True. The effects of RF exposure appear to cumulative over long periods of time. For example, before I got involved in the RF business, I had a full head of hair, a full bank account, and a generally positive attitude. After many years of exposure to RF, the hair is falling out, the bank account depleted, and the attitude is decidedly pessimistic. Obviously, this was all caused by RF exposure.

You don't happen to suffer from Agoraphobia also, do you?

Joking aside, you may want to remove all electrical appliances from your house in that case. and emigrate to Antartica. Its impossible to live in a modern country without being completely surrounded by radio waves.

You mean I cannot sit with my router antenna in my mouth safely? -:)

A lifetime of exposure to chicken nuggets and French fries is probably four orders of magnitude more dangerous.

ANTARCTICA?? That's right under the ozone hole!! Are you trying to get him killed by ultraviolet rays?
