We leave ours on all the time, as we all do different shifts so there is always somebody on it.

We've been turning everything off at the wall but sometimes have trouble with computers and routers not talking to each other in the morning... perhaps a coincidence but we are now leaving computers shut off and router on (and everything still on at the wall) overnight.

We turn the computer off but not the little black broadband box. It also gets really hot - I probably should turn it off

We turn the laptop off, the box and switch at the wall. Also before turning on again I always have the router plugged before I turn the computer on otherwise we have problems connecting.
