Yes, this is interesting. I never have turned off power to the cable
modem and separate router because (according to Cox), they require a
sequential boot process (is this true?). I do turn off the WAP when we
are not using it, but more for security reasons than power consumption.
I think shutting them all down is worth trying because while they don't
consume much power individually, I'm sure cumulatively
(nationwide/worldwide), it would make a big impact. My computer is set
to hibernate automatically, along with the monitor.
