would like to switch off my Broadband Hub and computer each night what are the risks when I reconnect ?

Answer 1

no risk-- it is good practice for security-- particularly if you use a wireless router !!

Answer 2

nada, only downside is the hub needs about a minute to reconnect and boot itself up. Relax, i was worried about the same thing when i first got it, but it won't have any adverse side affects like requring you to set the whole damn thing up again!

Oh yeah, doesn't the wireless just suck on the hub? It can't even go through the room next door!

Answer 3

you should definitely switch off your broadband hub when youre not using it

otherwise the internet will leak out and break your hard drive

this is why there are so many porn sites on the internet

Answer 4

i always switch of the hub after use. Although it means wen i wanna use the net, i hav to wait a minute 4 it to connect. It means i get less viruses etc.

Answer 5

none other than if you ISP sends any firmware updates to your Broadband Hub/Router but i expect these would be sent next time it is online.

Turn it off by all means.

Answer 6

no risks attached just switch on when needed and wait a few minuits to warm up good luck

Answer 7

No risk, I usually just put my modem on standby at night, but shutting down your computer won't hurt it, as long as you let it close windows down first. Otherwise, you may lose any un-saved data.

Answer 8

i switch mine off every nite, and had no problems, it just starts up as normal (10seconds or so ) i did notice a small change when i actually took the plug out though, like it was starting from brand new

Answer 9

Do it all the time.

Answer 10

i dont think theres much of a risk, check with your provider
