Can wireless Internet (wireless router) hurt?
I mean if I let it work and sleep, would that be harmful?

Thanks,

She probably means that in temrs of rafiation and radio waves, like infra red rays for example are in fact harmless. I am not sure about wireless internet, will search and get back to this.

- By work and sleep, she probably means leave the internet working and go sleep, right? :XD:

Ducklet Cat: If you meant in terms of security, it doesnt matter when or how long you keep it working. Wireless adsl modems require more security emphasize since it has a range area it can reach. Anyone within that area can easily connect and change your settings or even access your PCs/laptops if they weren't secured as well.

I dont think it can harm if u mean in radiation case because i never switch it off and no complains so far

and in term of security then u can limit the access to ur PC only or by setting a password

Thanks everybody.

No, I was not speaking about security, I'm already using a passwords to protect it.
I mean health hazards. WiFi is not like radio I think or infra-red, so is prolong use safe?

And we know that the body -and more specifically the brain- is receptive while sleeping, so it's recommended not to sleep close to a switched on mobile. Is it the same with Wireless LANs?
