Safety of high power setting RBR850
My concern is the output power level: My work desk is about 5 feet away from the main unit and the power level at my desk is -20 to -30 dbm from one side of it to the other.
Are there any concerns with this level of radiated power?
Is there a way to turn the power down?

It would be preferred to have the main base unit or RBS placed at a fair distance from someone sitting all the time. Mines 20+ feet away from my desk. I would presume that 6-10feet would be a good starting point for placement in relation to someone sitting at a desk.
The power can be reduced under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

Watch "Better call Saul", are you such a person as Saul's brother? Your mobile phone signal from the tower is 10-100 x stronger than any wifi signal. Anyone says the radiation of wifi signal, just no knowlege of wireless world...
