I've been owning a cable modem (time warner) internet for about 5 months. Cable is solid and never gave me a problem before
(maybe 1 or 2 occasions occured) but that's probably due to a slow cpu
Neways .. i was just wondering do i need to turn the outlet of before i go to sleep? because when i turn my cpu of there's 1 light solid (not blinking). Is this normal?
Thx for any who answers this, and HAPPY ST Patricks DAY !

I dont know of any modem that needs to be turned off at night. if you leave them on your computer can run updates and any antivirus or other tools will also stay updated as long as you leave the pc & modem on. it doesnt hurt anything to be left on. and happy ST. Patty's day to you too.

Nah, no problem at all. The solid light is nothing to worry about. Mine's been on for 7 years now, barring power outages or computer reboots. :)

When you turn off your computer the connection with the modem is lost and when you turn it on, modem automatically
finds your PC (no need to turn modem off)

The project is Vista. you ought to enhance to WindowsXP. ok, heavily, in the previous than you anticipate it rather is a hardware subject, are trying putting in some basic version of Linux. I recommend PCLOS. If it installs and features, you be attentive to you have gotten have been given Vista problems, no longer hardware problems. test first, purchase later.

Relax, just leave it on.
Is there some urban legend about leaving on network equipment zooming through chat rooms lately? Seems everyone is asking this question.

ya i leave the modem on all the time if ya turn it off it will need to reset itself all the time. warner may inturpret it as someone trying to hack your connection after awhile and make ya call them to reset it. so just leave it on

no you dont have to but if you are concerned on saving your electric bill or getting attacked from intruders while you sleep. It is not a problem
