Wireless routers are one of the most commonly found products in homes across the world. In fact, it can actually contribute high levels of EMF exposure to our home. The problem is not from routers alone. Many wireless network including a desktop PC, laptops, an entertainment system, wireless mice and keyboards, as well as wireless phones, printers and cell phones all create EMF.
Every electronic device creates its own EMF, and the structure of the EMF varies depending upon the intensity as well as the frequency of the electricity. Even if we dont keep a wireless network (WiFi) in our home, we are still exposed to them in stores, schools, coffee shops, libraries, restaurants and many other places. All EMFs have the power to become harmful if we are exposed to them for long periods of time.

As with all radio signals, the closer we are to the router (or the transmitter) then the stronger the signal. Your cell phones work on the same principle but cell phones work at a different frequency and put even stronger signal (ten times) than your wireless router.
In fact, the radio signals transmitted by typical office or home networks is in the same frequency range with those microwave ovens that you use to cook food. More scientific EMF studies suggest prolonged exposure to these wireless devices cause tumors, heart problems, memory loss, exhaustion, and a higher risk of cancer.
The best thing we can do to avoid overexposure to these EMFs is to turn off all electronic devices when not in use, or you can replace them with hardwired connections. Unplug them is also important because even if they are off these devices can still emit radiation.
