Yes, most modems have a wifi network on them (e.g. Comcast modems produce XfinityWifi hotspots) so all you're doing is giving other people internet for free by leaving it on when you're not using it.
>>55631338
I read one anon say that frequently turning a modem on and off shortens it's life span
>>55631367
This can be true but it means nothing if you don't have a fair idea what the expected life of your modem is. If the modem's life exceeds the technology's life it doesn't matter.
>>55631321
No. They're designed to be on 24/7.
It's a waste of an established sync and sometimes a gamble at negotiating an equally good one at the next power-up.
You're free to turn off your router's Wi-Fi at night time, though. Preferably through an OS that allows you to do so on a schedule and the option to defer turning off until the last WLAN client disconnects.

Turning anything on and off shortens its lifespan.
>>55631321
I just turn off the wifi, it's good for sleep.

My old modem used to overheat frequently and the only way to fix that was to give it cool-off periods.
My new one works for long amounts of time, but I just don't want this one starting to develop overheating issues too
Do it so that your neighbor can't hack your WiFi while you sleep

i live in the ghetto. nobody is smart enough to hack my WiFi
>>55631321
Yes. You don't want to be irradiated by the microwaves it produces while you sleep, do you?
>>55631599
I solved that problem.
>>55631701
>>55631672
my current router is in the cold attic now. it's naturally chilled now
>>55631663
So what? You're in the ghetto but would hack my WiFi if I were your neighbor.
Illusion of security is worse than no security at all.
>>55631663
What makes you think that you are the only tech literate hood nigga there?You yourself are an example that a /g/ browser from the projects exist.

>It's a waste of an established sync and sometimes a gamble at negotiating an equally good one at the next power-up.
I might as well leave in on 24/7 then

>>55631793
u think that some plebs will hack my WiFi for free internet? they have their own.
>>55631808
is the internet subsidized by the government? if yes then they won't bother but if the internet is expensive (you live in America than fuck yea it is) then a smart hood nigga will try to get into someone elses wifi connection.
>>55631831
>>55631793
>>55631750
how does turning off my Wi-Fi at night decrease my chances of getting my Wi-Fi hacked?
is it the IP changing?
>>55631873
Your opponent will just hack someone else for free internet 24/24 instead of only one weekends and nights.
