Where about is your wireless router located ?

Simple question really... Where do you have it ?

Is it in the middle of your house with your PC's surrounding it upstairs and downstairs or is it right next to you ? Or wherever ?

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 ?

I have my WAP in the corner of the room at celing level, as far away from any metalic objects as possible.

My wireless router is in the centre of the house about 5ft above the ground

Are you at all bothered about electromagnetic waves going thruogh your body ?

my router is on top of the door frame downstairs... middle of the house, and reception is reasonable even on the third floor.

nope... not at all! there is increased radiation when you fly anywhere as well, and i am not bothered about this. as far as i am concerned, i am going to die one day, so while i am alive i might as well live a happy life and not worry about anything! If i want to drink, i drink. If i want to eat fatty food, i do, and if i want to have a wireless router i will have one!

you only live once!!

I'll post a picture of my workstation once my new monitor arrives...
I have everything together in my 3rd bedroom.. PC, Cable modem, router, wireless.. etc. It covers the whole house no problem, I've not sat in the conservatory with my laptop.. but it shouldn't have any problem.

I don't worry about electromagnetic waves... I work with PC's all day.. the only health issue is eye-strain and headaches as a result.. but if you take a break regularly (which I should) you won't have that problem.

Wireless router on the ground floor, Wireless access point on the first floor, PC on the second floor, laptop normally in the bathroom.

My AP is upstairs in the spare bedroom, along with my router and now pretty much unused two PC's. Wireless laptops in the lounge (and bathroom, kitchen whereever) downstairs are all we use now.

You seem to be obsessed by EM radiation, if your that interested do a course on it rather than start many thread about the same thing.

I know you can get expensively modded laptops that are waterproof, but it does seem a tad excessive to have to email while your on the job

my wireless access point is my bedroom. Signal covers the whole house.

(typing this on my laptop in the living room, signal is 5 bars)

EDIT-My wap is a airport base station, does a very good job despite the bulit in areal

So you write messages whilst you are in the bath / on the loo then ?

Interesting

Dellaware.... Yeah I am a bit obsessed about this radiation thing so after my first topic I just wanted to find out where people placed their routers.
I promise you this is my last topic on the matter.
I guess the only thing that worries me is that in 60 years time they'l find some thing and by then we'l all be dieing anyway from these technologically transmitted diseases. TTD's.

It is a great tool to be wireless and my mind is to get one right now so I guess that is winning at the moment over not getting one.

As for where it is going to be.... it will be in the loft where it can beam down to the whole house, hopefully covering right down to the ground floor.
