Mine (a SAR110 aka Globespan Virata) stays on 24x7. My mother's one
(a Netgear of some flavour) keels over after about 2 days of continuous
uptime and has to be power-cycled. We've solved that problem by putting
it on a mains timer that switches it off from around midnight to 6am
each night. Saves a little power, too.
