Hi Kathy, Rich and I leave our router on all the time and there is no problem. There's really no reason to switch it off. If there is a worry about security, set up the router with WEP, and no one will be able to access your network unless they have the WEP key.

As I just told Cindy, he did use the CD in his laptop, and all is working correctly. We are now both wireless. I'm curious, do you leave the router on all day and all night? I'd like instant access whenever with my mPower, but he wants it off most of the time, which was not quite my idea of how it would work. Thanks.
