Cutting power off to network hardware nightly - okay?
We have a ZyXEL C2100Z Modem and a 5 port Linksys switch, nightly when we are done using them we have a power switch that we just hit to power off. Will this cause any long term issues? Could this cause any corruption of the software?
I have 6 switches, 2 modems, and a wireless router and I never turn them off unless there is a problem. One of the modems has been on for about 8 years now not counting power outages.
This is another reason to leave them running.
