There are many articles on the Internet suggesting that a Wi-Fi router poses potential health risks while others negate it. Scientists and researchers are still studying the effects of long-term electromagnetic radiation.
Some experts say that wireless routers and allied systems produce radiation in low GHz frequency, which is potentially dangerous even when it is within the so-called ‘safe limits’ set by some countries. As the RF radiations could still cause harmful or non-thermal biological problems, we should understand the risks associated with Wi-Fi radiation from our own routers and those installed by our neighbours, offices, or even in public places. vias next to a pad, in some cases even by removing some pads from the BGA footprint.
Wi-Fi routers generally us 2.4GHz or 5GHz band. The 5GHz Wi-Fi routers offer higher download speeds but the 2.4GHz waves can travel through walls, which 5GHz have difficulty in doing.
What would be a safe distance from a Wi-Fi router installed in a building?
The radiation from a router is the strongest near its antenna and reduces when you move away. Most experts suggest that radiation level of three to six microwatts per metre squared are safe, which can be measured using an RF/ EMF meter.
You can use a meter to measure the Wi-Fi radiation in your environment or you can use Wi-Fi router guards available in the market if you are feeling stressed due to the radiation.

Thank you for your feedback. We will try to improve and update the website.
LOL. Two articles got mixed up. Looks like a copy paste issue.
Fanouts in PCB design got mixed up with this article. ha ha
Thank you, Vishnu for your comment. We have updated the article.
