Do you guys switch off your wireless router if out during the day?

If I had a master switch for all of it, that would be really useful!!

There's one in the consumer unit.

All good points, but worth noting that fibre broadband takes 24-48hrs to get "up to speed" following a power cut - I have tried it and it is true - so as I am paying good money for the fast speed, the turning off/on thing is not practical to ensure I get the benefits from the fibre speeds.

Good question and good debate btw.

If you have fibre via a BT line , then turning off the router has no effect, you need to keep the modem switched on though as that can cause speed issues

We leave our router turned on as there was a time when there was some issues with getting a connection after turning it back on.

We have Sky too and can remote record from work and/or mobile if I ever want something set to be recorded.
