hi .. just recently i have installed pldt dsl and installed wireless router.
my question is do I have to shut this down once in a while or when not in use?
or just leave it ON 24/7. sabi kasi baka masira daw yung modem and wireless if d ko pinapahinga?
what do you think?
thank you

July 12th, 2010 05:24 PM #3i'm thinking that if i don't shut it down sometimes it might shorten the life
of the modem and router.
thank you

July 12th, 2010 05:47 PM #4I've had a modem and router connected at home and running since 2002. Only time na-off is pag power outage lang. So don't worry about it. Just place them both sa well ventilated location. Originally Posted by anthon05

July 12th, 2010 05:50 PM #5if the router comes with the package, ok lang yan. Mine is running for more than two years and when it conked out, pinalitan naman nila for free.

July 12th, 2010 06:43 PM #6When I was in a smaller company, we had a residential-type DLink router for our office use. Never turned off for four years with no problem whatsoever. I would advice a good surge suppressor though if you have unstable electricity in your area to protect against sudden spikes.

July 15th, 2010 01:43 PM #12yes... that is basically the function of the router, as a "multiplier". Originally Posted by prince777

July 15th, 2010 01:46 PM #13Most probably, you can. Originally Posted by prince777

You're referring to multi-port switches/hubs; but since most wireless routers nowadays allow for more than one connection (be it wireless or wired thru Ethernet), they are also switches/hubs, hence, they have a multiplier function, too.

July 17th, 2011 10:46 AM #15I have a pldt dsl modem and I want to buy a wireless router that would enable me to use LAN on my PC and wifi for my laptop. I am clueless on how to set it up. Please help me choose the proper router from the Villman website. I only need a regular router.
