RF Safety using home routers - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Something that crossed my mind.
Home use wireless routers are generally transmitting at 2.4GHz (which is the water molecules vibrating freq). Checking the datasheet, I found that the TX power is 15-18dBm =~ 60mW. It sounds too high radiation power, from RF safety point of view and at home.
Share your thoughts.
