Why switch it off at all..? Apart from the PC's, which
get switched off if I'm away for more than 24 hours, my
system has been up & running for over 7 years. The only
time the router has ever been without power is when
we've had the occasional power cut and the UPS has
given out, or if it's needed to be rebooted for some
reason.

And anyone who leaves ANY electrical appliance switched
on when not needed is either stupid or they have money to
burn .

The router *is* needed all the time. Other devices use it, not just the
computers. Besides, some devices misbehave quite badly if continually
switched on and off.


Nobody is talking about "continually".

Most routers do not misbehave if turned on and off a few times a day.
