Should a modem be turned off when not in use?
(not a correct answer) Of course a modem shouldn't be turned off while not in use it will loose its memory and you would have to reprogram it, so keep it on. Modem can be turned off to save power and to prevent it from over heating if they are not in a well ventilated place when not in use. All good modems are designed for continuous usage. and should be able to remain on for long time (many months and years) as long as there is no software glitch or malfunction causing it to hang. Modems will not loose any memory and will not need any reprogramming when turned back on. All settings are stored in a non-volatile memory which is not erased when device is off. The embedded software is also in a Flash memory. Some service providers recommend that you keep the modem on so that in case there is a software/modem firmware update from their side, it can be updated while modem is on. It can also be updated when you are keeping the modem off and next time when you turn on the modem. Keeping your computer and modem off when not in use is a good idea to save power and protect your system from network attacks and misuse if there is no firewall installed. - Neeraj Sharma
