My AirPort base station is in my roon on the 2nd floor and gives good coverage to most of the house. I'm actually considering moving the CM and BS down to the first floor (as there's a spare NTL connection there where we used to have an STB) to improve coverage.

Netgear WiFi Router in lounge along with the cable modem (does 1 x PC and 1 x server) 2nd WiFi Bridge upstairs, this little arrangement covers whole house and garden (when it's not raining!)

Laptop and Palm handheld all connecting to WiFi LAN - I've used WiFi so much I've almost forgotten how to wire a CAT5 cable!

(and I'm not bothered about the "radiation" - the Guinness will kill me before the WiFi does. I think....)

I really wouldnt worry about EM radiation, parts from the whole spectrum pass through you everyday and the only ones that actually get emitted from wifi routers are radio waves anyway!!

They are designed to work to the same guidelines as radio frequency safety standards which therefore makes WLANs safe.

Just for your info, i got this off some website (i can't remember which): These standards and recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific community and result from deliberations of panels and committees of scientists who continually review and interpret the extensive research literature.

Feel Safe!! :)

Does anyone feel that having the machine right next to you is bad for you ?
Anyone have the router next to them, and I mean close by, next to the PC you sit at ?

I'm just curious. So where is yours located ?

Well, at the moment it's still in the shop ;)

But when I get one, it'll go next to the SACM, so will be next to the main PC.
