Can a wireless router give off harmful radiation?

From about 5 or 6 feet away from where my head is when I sleep, my wireless router is on the floor against my radiator in my bedroom. Do you think that like cell phones these waves can be harmful? Should I be worried at all?What is the radiation comparative to from this distance? A cell phone? Or not as bad?
 
The radiation at a distance of 5 or 6 feet is a small fraction of the radiation at close proximity. You should be safe at that distance.
 
No you shouldn't worry. The energy of the EM waves are not that high to cause harm.They are two types of radiation: Ionizing and Non-Ionizing...Ionizing damages the body by damaging DNA by ionization or creating free radical reations.Non-Ionizing radiation damages the body by heating/burning it. Wireless routers and cell phones are non-ionizing and their fields are so weak and small. You would need hell of alot to have any heating effect whatsoever.
