Over the past week we’ve seen a feeding frenzy of UK news reports (here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>) that warn consumers against “turning off Wi-Fi at night<\/em>” to save electricity, which is usually followed by claims that doing so could hamper the speed and stability of your broadband ISP connection. But this is not entirely accurate.<\/p>\n

The aspect that all of these reports get wrong is that they confuse WiFi<\/a> with the broadband connection from your ISP. The WiFi<\/a> side of all this only relates to your local home network (i.e. Wireless Local Area Network or WLAN) and has no physical bearing on your broadband line.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> At present you’ll pay around 34p per kilowatt hour (kWh) of electricity (i.e. using a device for 1 hour that continuously sucks 1000 Watts costs 34p).<\/div>\n

In fact, almost all routers will usually enable you to safely turn off Wi-Fi in the settings, without needing to disable or disrupt your broadband connection. But since the WiFi<\/a> processor (chip) itself only gobbles a tiny amount of electricity (anything from a few hundred milliwatts to 1-3 Watts \u2013 depending upon network activity), then doing this isn’t really worth the effort.<\/p>\n

Admittedly, switching off WiFi can cause some entirely predictable localised connectivity issues within the home, such as with “smart<\/em>” devices and systems that need to communicate their data with other kit on your network or online servers (e.g. video doorbells, alarms, home battery\/solar systems). But such devices are designed to cope with WiFi outages and this still won’t cause the broadband line itself to become slower or more unstable.<\/p>\n

However, it is true to say that switching off the whole of your router at night (these gobble around 6 – 20 Watts of power) might potentially cause problems on some lines. Consumers with modern full fibre connections don’t need to worry about this, but frequently switching-off the router on a copper based broadband line (i.e. ADSL<\/a>, FTTC<\/a> \/ VDSL2<\/a> or G.fast<\/a>) could cause the Dynamic Line Management<\/strong> (DLM) system to assume your connection is unstable and drop the speed to compensate.<\/p>\n

As a side note, a lot of network operators tend to automatically push firmware (software) updates down to their broadband routers in homes during the early hours of the morning. Completely turning off the router during this period would disrupt that and might cause you to miss vital security or feature additions.<\/p>\n

Such confusion has most likely arisen in the media because consumers have, over many years, been almost conditioned to think that the wireless (WiFi) signal from their router is the same as their broadband connection, when they are in fact two very different physical networks and technologies that can be interconnected. Little wonder that so many people end up wrongfully blaming faults with their WiFi \/ local network on their ISP, often even when the router is a third-party model, and thus describing them as “broadband problems<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

In short, you can safely switch-off the WiFi feature on your router without harming your broadband line. But the power saving from doing this is miniscule, and it\u2019s probably best avoided if you have any essential smart devices that depend upon it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
