Router on or off......

(1/2) > >>

Ifti:
This stems from a thread I have read on another forum.
Personally, I leave my router on 24/7 - I very rarely switch it off (only if Im going to be away for more then a few days). However, I was surprised at the number of people who switch their routers off when not in use.

So, what do you do?

i get asked this so much!

my linksys has been switched on for 5years now had to reboot it twice.


Heating up and cooling down components just adds more unneeded stress imo

CarrG:


I do switch mine off.

It gets really hot!

Mine runs 24x7 but also acts as my VPN server so i can VPN in to my home stuff if i need to get anything, but the PC etc is off and i use WOL to fire it up if i need to get to it.

Neil:
I always switch mine off when not in use, even if I`m just off out for an hour  :smiley:


I leave nothing on  `standby` either, when I got out only the fridge is left on  :happy2:
