Are wireless signals (e.g. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi) harmful to the human body?
Let's look at this top down:There about 4.3 Billion mobile/cellular phones in use world wide, and there have been over a Billion phones in use since about 2001. Their frequencies are range from 400 MHz (0.4 GHz) to 1.9 GHz, roughly similar to your router.There are about 300 million laptops sold each year, with >90% having 2.4 GHz WiFi. There are roughly 1.2 Billion in regular use world wide, and there have been over 500 million using Wi-Fi the past 5 years.So far, we have not seen any mass epidemics, except for obesity, which is usually attributed to people spending too much time sitting and playing with computers.So the experiment Daniel Helman talks about has been running for some time, with large statistical power (now Billions!) and the results appear to be negative.Parts of the experiment have been running long enough (30 years) that we can put an upper bound on how bad the worse case to be. The worse possible case at this point (early 2012) would be some what bad for a small number of people, probably less that 500,000 out of the Billions.There is not a mega disaster waiting, or it would have already occurred.******In the real world, Microwaves (like 2.4 and 5 GHz) have been known to affect the eyes, being associated with cataracts. One reason you are not supposed to put your head next to a microwave oven and stare at the food.You are very close to the router for a long period of time.> I would suggest you consider moving the router to the other side of the room, or toward your feet, and away from delicate and important systems like eyeballs, brains, ears, etc.That's a low effort precaution.*****Since you live in Los Angeles, where the car is king, here's an idea that might have more "impact" on your personal safety: get a modern car.1959 Chevy vs. 2009 Chevy frontal offset crash...
Did any of you opt for the 'over the air' TV signal?
did it work good for you?... mine went all pixelated and froze so often it wasn't worth the worry.....but what I don't understand is, back when that was ALL we had, the worst we got was a little 'snow'..... so what's different now?.... do I have to put up an antenna on the roof to get a decent 'air' signal?.... I already have satellite for the living room and the college kid, but didn't want to pay for another 'box' for jsut my bedroom, so I went for the 'air' stuff...... maddening that it doesn't work with that great little box the govt said WOULD!!!.....
Is it safe for children to sleep in the same room with the wireless wifi (antenna) router?
Yes. It's not going to cause any harm to them. Children and adults are exposed to radio waves, sound waves, radiation, etc every day through cell phone towers, lights, cell phones, TVs, computers, the sun...the list goes on. Wireless routers put out very little energy and it is usually very dispersed - they work on 360 degree setups. Therefore if you're standing in front of one, you're not standing 'in the way' of all of the radio waves. I would be happy to review anything put forth, but to date I have not seen conclusive scientific evidence that wireless networking devices cause cell mutations or any other harmful effects in humans or animals. You're free to make your own choices on the matter - I do encourage you to research it before accusing a router of anything though.
I have Direct TV but the room I want to move my TV into has no coax cable and it would be a nightmare putting one in. What wireless solution can I use?
We had this problem in our house so Direct TV installed a wireless system. The main Direct TV box (hardwired) transmitted an encrypted signal to each of the wireless boxes allowing each wireless box to have the same capabilities as the main box (all channels in our package, DVR capability). The only drawback is that for right now the technology can only support four wireless boxes in the system, along with the main, hardwired box. But if you only want to connect one television then you are golden.The best part of all is, Unlike Xfinity wireless Direct TV does not interfere/use internet bandwidth. So it will not cut into your internet download/upload rate at all. You will see it on your list of WIFI networks, but you should not be able to connect to the Direct TV network via a computer.Pricing wise I believe that the price per box is relatively cheap; maybe 10.00 per box. But it would be best to ask the customer service rep.
At&t U verse tv says no signal?
Get the remote that came with your TV. Find the input button on that remote and use it to switch inputs. Make sure the uverse is turned on and cycle through all your inputs until you find the uverse picture. The TV/Video button on the uverse remote doesn't always work with TVs.
Xbox interference to tv signal?
A lot of home wireless equipment runs on the same frequencies (2.4 GHz). This includes Wi-Fi networks, those wireless video senders, and the 360's controllers. So you're right, it is probably the controllers interfering with the TV signal. If you can change the wireless channel that the AV sender is using, that may fix the interference.
Is there any effect on a mobile signal due to a CC TV camera?
You have CCTV everywhere nowadays. Plus one is Wired and other in Wireless..It can never have any connection with each other.Let me give you a small example :- I work in an IT industry and inside the ODC we have around 3 CCTV cameras... Trust me my mobile network is best when I am inside ODC... It does not really have any connection.
