I have a modem, and a wired/wireless router.
When I switch my computers off (I have two running most of the day), the router lights are still lit up (ie sockets 1and 2); however, if I put the computers on stadby (and they then go into hibernation) - the lights on the router go out.
Now, I may be completely wrong, but I am assuming that in hibernation, the router can't "see" the computers, and I am therefore "safer" than if I shut the computers down...........
Anyone know why, or understand ?
