The best answer I can give is : At this time, the industry in general is unaware of any long term effect that may be caused by the proximity of a wireless networking device...
Personally I have seen no effect amongst myself or the myriad of friends/colleagues who use wireless network equipment, and have done so for many years (well, a couple of years anyway)...
The radio waves are in the same band as microwaves and cordless phones, these have been around for many years and are still deemed to be safe..
This is not to say that someone, somewhere in this industry is not sitting on a survey that proves that long exposure to these things makes you sterile/mad/stupid/<insert symptom here>. Just that the industry at large is not aware of any such effect.. (covers his arse just in case ;-) )
