| [General] Radiation From Fios?
I had FIOS installed a few months ago. They sent (probably) new people to install it. They kept having to call their office to ask what to do. I was happy with it while it worked, but it would drop connection several times a day. I called the company several times, but they said there was no problem on their end. I had initially had them install everything in my basement, and was assured that the entire house would receive the signal. It's a relatively small ranch style house.
Anyway, I decided to move the router upstairs to where I use my laptop and just use a longer CAT5E cable between the basement and the router. So now the router is in the room with me. I get better connectivity now. It now only drops sometimes when the phone rings or sometimes when I pick up the phone to make a call. Not every time like before.
Now with the router in the room with me I am worried about radiation levels. Is my radiation intake increased with the router in the room with me, or is it coming from just having FIOS in the house in the first place? Is there any significant worry about radiation from FIOS at any distance? Sorry for the length of this. Thanks in advance for any help, information, or advice you can give. |

1. Fios is fiber cable(glass) comes to the side of your house to a box, no radiation.
2.If your concerned about the wireless router wifi (radio) it can be turned off although your cell phone probably has more radio radiation
3. Radio radiation is low on the Light Spectrum, which means it has very low energy compared to xray, and gamma
4. Here is a link from NASA

Relax, your router isn't going to destroy your DNA
Your phone is likely running on the same (2.4GHz) frequency as your router. You need to change it. |
