The level of energy emitted by Wireless products however is far much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices like for example mobile phones.
Always turn off wireless functionality if the computer is near automatic control equipment or appliances such as automatic doors or fire detectors. Radio waves can cause malfunction of such equipment, possibly resulting in serious injury. It may not be possible to make a network connection to a specified network name using the ad hoc network function. If this occurs, the new network (*) will have to be configured for all computers connected to the same network in order to re-enable network connections.
The range of the wireless signal is related to the transmit rate of the wireless communication. Communications at lower transmit range may travel larger distances. The range of your wireless devices can be affected when the antennas are placed near metal surfaces and solid high-density materials. Range is also impacted due to "obstacles" in the signal path of the radio that may either absorb or reflect the radio signal.
