    I don't think I've ever used a wireless router that has a light that switches off when no one's wirelessly connected to it.

    Wifi stays on whether or not anything is connected.

    My wireless router has an orange light for when no-one is connected via wireless then the light turns green when there is an active conneciton.
    This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
