We leave ours on all the time, as we all do different shifts so there is always somebody on it. ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

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 do have to turn the computer off over night because its a laptop so dont want to leave it charging all night. Im guessing its personal preference as to whether it gerts turned off |

We turn the computer off but not the little black broadband box. It also gets really hot - I probably should turn it off ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

| 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. |
