Router/Modems

[DavidNW]

I have recently purchased a router/modem. The device's LED lights remain on (I think this is the norm) when I power-off the PC. Should I switch off the mains power supply to the PC from the wall socket, say, overnight, for instance?

I ask this, because the router/modem gets quiet warm/hot to the touch when it has been on for a long time. Will it do it any harm to leave it on permanently?


Cheers,

Dave.

Its fine to leave it on, although its up to you whether you turn it off. Saves electricity, but won't do it any harm.
