Switching off Wifi router before we go to th

 Switching off your router when not in use, such as when you sleep at night, is a good practice for several reasons:


Benefits of Switching Off Your Router:

1. *Energy Efficiency*: Routers consume electricity, even when not in use. Switching them off can help reduce energy consumption and lower your electricity bills.

2. *Heat Reduction*: Routers can generate heat, which can lead to reduced lifespan or even damage. Switching them off can help reduce heat buildup.

3. *Security*: Switching off your router can help prevent unauthorized access to your network, reducing the risk of hacking and cyber attacks.

4. *Reduced Electromagnetic Radiation*: Some research suggests that prolonged exposure to electromagnetic radiation from routers and other devices can have health implications. Switching off your router can help reduce exposure.


Impact on FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home) Internet:

1. *No Impact on Speed*: Switching off your router will not affect the speed of your FTTH internet connection.

2. *No Impact on Connection*: When you switch on your router again, your FTTH connection will be re-established automatically.


Best Practice:

1. *Switch Off Router During Extended Periods of Inactivity*: If you're going to be away from home for an extended period or won't be using your internet connection for several hours, switching off your router is a good idea.

2. *Use a Smart Plug or Timer*: Consider using a smart plug or timer to automatically switch off your router during periods of inactivity.


In summary, switching off your router when not in use is a good practice for energy efficiency, heat reduction, security, and reduced electromagnetic radiation. It will not affect the speed or connection of your FTTH internet.

M T Vasudevan Nair

My entry into the world of Malayalam literature was through the masterful writings of M. T. Vasudevan Nair, whose passing today feels like a deeply personal loss. It was his novel Manju (Mist) that first drew me into this literary universe. The story, much like its title, was enveloped in an atmosphere of melancholy and mystery. It unraveled slowly, like mist clearing in the morning light, revealing truths that were profound yet heartbreakingly simple. The characters, their struggles, and their silences lingered in my mind long after I turned the last page. It was not just a novel; it was an experience. I returned to it over and over, each time discovering something new, as though the book was speaking directly to the depths of my soul. To this day, I cannot count how many times I have read Manju—it became, and remains, a companion to my thoughts. After Manju opened the door, M. T.’s other works beckoned me forward. I was soon engrossed in Nalukettu, a story that painted a vivid portra...
