Horst is correct, 2.45 GHz is what cooks food in the microwave. I did my
PhD on using microwaves to cook the heart (for therapeutic rather than
culinary reasons). The amount of power applied and the design of the
antenna is however a little different comparing the linksys to the
kitchen. a Faraday cage is not necessary. You just need the door from
you microwave oven between you and the source - if you are particularly
paranoid - the mesh in the door is of the correct size to block the
propagation. Like Xrays, distance is the best protection - Interesting
to note that the cordless phones we all use at home are hte same
frequency, ever noticed they dont work too well when the micrwave oven
is on?

i have recently set up a wag54g linksys, and the instructions suggest
that the aerial should be a minimum of 20cm away from me for "safety"
what i would rather know is whether there is a recommended distance from
anyone with experience; how close would YOU feel comfortable
wireless is 2.4 GHz spectrum = microwave
impact on you cells is mostly heat if enough energy is transferred
20+ cm should be safe unless you are boosting your signal or use a high gain
highly directive antenna
