Turning off routers

[AlexAtkin]

Nothing wrong in turning off routers once in 24 hours:

Why is this even still a discussion?

 

When experts in telecommunications and someone who actually WORKS at an ISP dealing with router returns, has identified power cycling as an issue with routers failing?

 

Plus I have said myself that it can be an issue with WiFi when auto keeps switching the channel. I'm sick of having to keep manually changing mine because of a neighbour rebooting their router and causing it to conflict with mine causing slowdown.

 

Bottom line, its more hassle than its worth for you and your neighbours UNLESS you are planning to be away from home for several days.
