| 2701HG-B wireless question Hi, I have disabled the wireless feature on my 2Wire 2701HG-B. This may seem like an odd question, but does disabling the wireless feature completely stop any wireless signal from being transmitted out of the unit? I recently had a brain tumor removed and I am staying away from anything wireless - may not have produced the tumor but better to be safe than sorry.
Thanks |

Madera, CA | When you go out in public there's Wi-Fi signals everywhere, even your neighbors has a wireless network. The only way to get away from these wireless signal is to go live in the middle of no where.
Glad you had your brain tumor removed, but Wi-Fi doesn't cause it. |

To answer your question; Yes. Disabling the wireless feature of any 2WIRE does stop it from broadcasting a wireless signal entirely.
However, wireless signals are as common as sunlight now a days. You can't really get away from them unless you're in a very rural area or in the middle of no where. While it has been stated that wireless signals can cause tumors its exceedingly rare (to the point of impossible) that a wireless signal is the catalyst for the development of a tumor. The exposure is simply not intense enough; exposure to sunlight has a better chance at causing skin cancer then does exposure to a Wi-Fi or wireless signal have at causing a tumor. I wouldn't worry about you're wireless causing any complications.
Glad to hear you're doing well. |

I'm well aware that I cannot escape wireless altogether, like you said it's everywhere - I just meant that I wanted to stop using wireless personally such as a cell phone or a wireless router which is 2 feet from my head. It's highly likely that it did not cause the tumor but there is a very small chance that it did (according to my brother the neurologist) and that's good enough reason for me. Wireless is a relatively new technology and we probably will not know the full effects (if any) for many years to come. |
