I've always turned stuff off, not just router. Seems daft to leave stuff on or on standby when everyone is either asleep or out, except fridge obvs.

Routers/modems recalibrate based on line conditions. By turning it off and on again you're forcing it to recalibrate from base settings rather than just adjusting in response to change.

Very good point. Although I'm not sure how long it needs to be off to trigger a new line stabilisation routine. I'd hope longer than overnight...

was on plusnet forums yesterday chasing them to push us a router firmware upgrade to fix some issues with my mums line that are requiring multiple daily reboots and the engineer said on the thread it's really bad to be constantly resetting your router even if it's just off then on again.
