This is possibly a fair point, however I think a router can be made an
exception depending on your own circumstances as well. There is some
difference both power and genuine functionality between the standby state of a
TV and say a router. Standy on a TV serves no function except to save a off
the armchair to turn the TV on, a router running keeps up communication a
household that may have more than on PC user. Although both consume power on
standby, the figures are rather a lot less than the lowest wattage lightbulb
you can have, so turning off un-needed lightling will make a signifficant
contribution.
If you really feel you wish to turn off the router turn it back on a minute or
so before your PC starts that way it should have re-connected back up to your
service in time, or at leat most do anyway. There is an argument that constant
cycling of electronics from cold to warm start is likely to cause physical
problems leading to premature breakdown, if this happens you have an
environmentally unfriendly peace of rubbish to get rid of to be replaced with
another one.

Hi
Just a thought ... but I understand that if we all switched off appliances
that are on standby and apparently use very little energy overnight, then we
would need something like 2 or 3 less power stations in the country. In the
increasingly green aware world I think this is worth considering seeing as
the world is precariously balanced between survival and destruction.
Kind regards ... Scott

Barbara, if it's a Belkin router, it might be best to ask
them why it appears to be loosing settings.
Aside from that, a router should normally have to be
switched on BEFORE you power up your PC in order to obtain
settings which tell the PC's where to look for the Internet
Gateway.
In practice, the power used is very small indeed, so it
won't do any harm to leave it on 24-7.

Okay, thanks to Belkin and some great help on here, I have
got the wireless internet up and running on the PC and the
two laptops in the house. However, when I turn everything
off at the wall at night and then turn them all on again the
next morning, both the PC and the laptops will not connect
to the internet but I just get that "Can not find server"
message. Now, this only happens when the router has been
turned off and if I turn the PC off at the wall and back on
again, it works, so it's only when the router has been off
at the plug and then turned back on again that this happens.
Still with me?
I could leave the router on at the wall all the time, but
I'd prefer not to have things on when they are not needed
like during the night. Anyone got any ideas as to why this
is happening and if so, how to rectify it?
Not a major problem, but would be nice to be able to fix it.
Best wishes
Barbara
