I have recently changed my router from Netgear to TalkTalk because of an intermittent signal, no problem with my desktop ethernet or laptop wireless or tablet but I keep loosing connection with my WII internet connection for Netflix. Any suggestions?

  1. In answer to your post title, yes, you should leave your router on all the time. If you keep switching it off, every time you turn it back on it will have to ‘sync” with your DSL line which can sometimes take up to two or three minutes. The wait can be really annoying and can be avoided by not turning it off in the first place. Leaving it on will not do it any harm, they are designed to be left on 24/7.

    For your Wii, you can try changing the wireless channel in your router’s setup utility which runs in a web browser.
