Save money by turning off your WiFi
Most businesses only use their WiFi eight hours a day, but they leave it on 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Leaving your WiFi unit on all the time means that it’s using 8,760 hours of power every year. It’s a waste of money.
It is safe to completely switch off your WiFi unit as it automatically reconnects with the internet when you turn it back on. Most WiFi units take only 1-3 minutes to reconnect.
You can turn it off manually or you can add it to your home computer plug board and have it turned off automatically by a timer or smart phone app.
