Do You Unplug the Internet Modem at Night?

After I read about the dangers of radiation coming from internet/wifi modems inside homes, I always see to it that it would be unplugged when we sleep. It says that it emits radiation which could be hazardous to our health. But I still need to confirm about this. Do you always unplug your wifi modem at night or when leaving home? What do you think ?

No, I always keep it on all the time. It is important for us to have the internet connection all the time.

We only unplug it if we go away. Maybe we should turn it off at night.

We also did not uplug it before; but after reading it, I unplug it when we sleep or going out of the house.

No, not too worried about radiation. Actually, the world would be sad and dark without radiation ?? But I don't have any mobile phones or modems/routers in my bedroom

Yes, the sun has radiation; but we are not advised to have too much exposure from it too.

Mine is on 24/7. It's all in another room, but aren't you concerned using it so often? You shouldn't be.

We are not always using it; only when we are awake and want to use the internet. We unplug it also when we go out for long hours.
