I have a 20 y.o. Raytheon RadarRange. It still works fine, but it used to send my wi-fi internet 'radio', about 10 ft away, into buffering mode while it was running. The laptop was never affected. When I replaced my dinky little $20 wireless router with a top-of-the-line one, I stopped having that problem.
I might worry about the biohazard effects of microwave radiation if I were standing right in front of a parabolic dish, but not signals at that level, any more than I am concerned about the dangers of "EMR" from my 75m dipole or my 160m vertical.
This paranoia over non-ionising radiation is way overblown.
