hi i recently upgraded to a netgear wirless-N 300 modem/router (DGN2000) as it was an absolute steel for the price..coming from a single port modem/router suppplied by my ISP.
my question is this.
i would turn my old modem/router off everynight when the PC was turned off, and there were no issues with it ever, other than its single ethernet port.
i was just wondering is it bad to regularly turn off a modemrouter, say at night when no one is using it. can it potentially harm the firmware or ISP wan settings or is it just me been paranoide. On the other hand can it shorten the life of the device if left on 24/7. Pros and cons decisions decisions
i thank you for your time and answers, you are most generous
