Hello Peter,

I would just use a wired machine to login to the web interface of the
router and enable and disable the radio as thats where the power draw is.

quite a few have cli's that you can automate to do this via ssh . if you
are still using the netgear dg834g then it definitely can.

I suspect this endeavour might save you around 10 to 20 pounds a year , so
be aware of spending anything to solve it .

if you really want to reduce your environmental impact switch to a fully
renewable energy supplier , there is very little difference in price but a
massive difference ethically , politically and ecologicially.

You could also run it from a solar panel with a battery backup as most of
them run on 12v and don't pull more than 1 or 2 watts.

Cheers
Amias

If you're still using a DG834G connected to the InterEvil then I hope
you've checked it for security bugs like TCP-32764, plus maybe WPS
bruteforce unless your neighbours are saints.
