Do you leave your wireless router on 24/7?

[Ted Max]

I leave mine on. Its steady green glow is a comforting presence as I wait for the first grey light of the pre-dawn to nudge over the roofs of the houses opposite.

Occasionally all the lights flash and reset as BT sends a software upgrade - automated signalling having a conversation with itself. I feel like an eavesdropper.

Then the lights all turn steady again and I can turn my eyes back to monitoring the chink at the top of the curtains.

And if the default Sky password isn't password, try sky. http://www.skyuser.co.uk/forum/view-routerstats.html

And once you've done that, you really want to think about changing the default Network Key as well, coz that's not secure either. (Wireless Setting at the top of the left hand menu).
