Some friends said that since the use of the router, the electricity bill at home has risen, is the router not turned off for a long time too much power? Do you want to turn off the router or not?
Different routers consume different power, and how much power the router consumes is determined by the power of the TA. So, how much power will a wireless router consume if it is not turned off for a month? Let's do the math.
Like other appliances, routers will have an approximate power. On the back of the router, the maximum working voltage and working current of the router are generally marked (the actual power will change due to changes in the amount of the machine, the use of traffic, etc., and the maximum does not exceed the marked power), multiply the two, and we get the power of the router. As:
5V*1A, if calculated by the hour, is almost 5w/h. 24 hours a day, 30 days a month, the router uses a total of 3600 watts, even if it is 4000 watts, 1000 watts 1 degree, 4000 watts is 4 degrees. This is a minuscule amount for monthly electricity bills.
So do you want to turn off the router? There are many voices discussing this issue, some people say that their router is the top configuration, not off there is no problem at all, but is this really the case?
Any person or device, endless work, can have some problems, the same is true of routers, long-working routers can cause the following problems:
1. For always-on routers, the internal cache will increase; There is a buffer area inside the router, if it is not turned off for a long time, the data will be more and more, affecting the data transmission speed, resulting in a slower Internet speed and a card.
2. Normally open router, causing internal overheating; Although the router transmission power is very low, but long-term do not turn off, the chip of the router will always be in a high-speed state, the temperature of the chip will remain high, and when the temperature reaches a certain level, the chip will protect itself and stop working, so that the router will crash and other failures affect work efficiency.
3. Normally open router, reduce service life; The router has been in a high-load working state that is turned on, and the accessories are easy to gradually age, even the 100 Gigabit fiber may become "turtle speed", and there will be various problems with network delay, slowing down the network speed.
Therefore, it is best to disconnect the power supply, turn off the wireless router, and let it rest for a while at regular intervals. You can also set a scheduled restart and choose to turn it off during the night break, which is conducive to router maintenance, improve hardware life, and do not delay use.
