Also I have it plugged into a Surgemaster at present. Is this correct or would I be o.k. with just an ordinary plug etc.

Thankyou. Chrisann.

Hi Chrisann,
Do you leave your fridge plugged in? Do you leave your central heating plugged in?

Of course you do ,so leave your modem/router plugged in. I know it kinda flies in the face of the whole global warming thing but thats just how the cookie crumbles. If you use t'internet daily then best leave it on.

I take it you have your router locked down access and security wise? I permanently switched on router with no security is a sitting duck.
