I was just wondering do you turn a router off or not bother when your are not using, like at night for example. I have just set up a wireless network from my bedroom and the router seems to be quite hot.

This is probly a stupid question but I have never had a router before, I have only had modems that turn on and off with the computer. If I turn the router off does it remember its settings when turned back on.

I searched on google but there wasnt really a definative answer.
 
Well, I turned mine off last night while I was asleep and when I woke up this morning there was problems, it either seems to have hard reset itself or it doesnt hold the settings when there is no power.

I tried everything to get it back up but it wasnt having any of it so I had to uninstall and reinstall, needless to say I wont be turning it off again :)
