No effect at all. I always turned mine off if we were away for more than a couple of days (You shouldn't leave anything electrical switched on if you're going away for an extended period). Over the summer, it would be off for a fortnight while we were on holiday.

You might get a new IP addy when you power it back up, but IIRC the last time I had mine powered off for a couple of weeks I still got the same one back.
