5 Ghz Routers Cause Nausea & Dizziness - To You Too?

Actually microwaves work at 2.45Ghz , which is closer to where you currently are operating.

Microwave range of frequency spectrum, not operating frequency of a microwave oven. World of difference!

Looking at the RF spectrum bands could prove very illuminating methinks.

I get headaches beginning at radio frequencies but it must be tied to its power output. I can't use a cellphone for long, nor can I tolerate the new wireless home phones, so I prefer to text. I can tolerate bluetooth headsets longer, but not as long as a wired phone.

That said, I've not had trouble with AP.

I have heard one definition of microwave frequencies to be 3 to 300 GHz. However, I have heard a lot in the years around 1980 of transistors being referred to as "microwave ones" merely due to how well they work in the GHz range below 3 GHz. That makes me think that the 1 to 3 GHZ range is "sometimes considered microwave".

As for what the radio spectrum is:

IIRC, USA's FCC regulates radio transmissions down to or even a little below 20 KHz. I somewhat recall actual practice of radio transmissions at

60 KHz - or was that 50?

And I do somewhat recall FCC regulating radio transmissions at frequencies as high as a roughly 5 millimeter oxygen absorption band around 60 GHz, used by satellites for determination of the temperature of a few various levels of Earth's atmosphere including at least 80, maybe

85% of the mass of Earth's atmosphere.

For that matter, the 30 to 300 GHz band is considered "millimeter waves" - as in higher frequency microwaves. I have heard of some oscillator achieving 450 ow was that 470 GHz, with wavelength around .64-.66 mm.

By some official standard, 1 mm wavelength and associated frequency of

300 GHz is "some official border" between radio frequencies (including microwave) and "low temperature thermal infrared".
