It is true that WiFi routers emit electromagnetic radiation, but it's important to understand the nature and potential impact of this radiation.
WiFi routers use radio waves to transmit and receive data wirelessly. These radio waves fall within the microwave portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes frequencies ranging from around 2.4 GHz to 5 GHz. The radiation emitted by WiFi routers is classified as non-ionizing radiation, which means it lacks the energy to ionize atoms or molecules and cause cellular damage, unlike ionizing radiation (such as X-rays or gamma rays).
The levels of radiation emitted by WiFi routers are typically considered safe and well below the established safety guidelines and regulatory standards. Organizations like the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States and similar regulatory bodies in other countries have set limits on the maximum permissible exposure to radio frequency (RF) radiation.
Studies conducted so far have not found any conclusive evidence linking WiFi radiation from routers to adverse health effects in humans at the levels typically encountered in everyday use. The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that there is no convincing scientific evidence of health effects from exposure to low-level electromagnetic fields, including WiFi signals.
However, it's worth noting that some individuals may experience sensitivity or symptoms they attribute to WiFi or electromagnetic fields (EMF), but scientific research has not established a clear causal relationship between these symptoms and EMF exposure.
If you have concerns about WiFi radiation, you can take simple measures such as placing the router in a well-ventilated area, keeping it away from frequently occupied spaces, and using devices that comply with safety standards.
