I finally have wifi at home and it's the Wireless Broadband router. But I am wondering if I keep the router on all night do I get charged? Or do I have to keep turning it on and off? And is that even safe?
Is this with FiOS service or a mobile hotspot?
If you aren't sure, tell us the name of the device you are using. That should clarify what service you have.
If you have FiOS, it is best to leave the router on 24/7. The Set Top Boxes need the router in order to do what they need to do during the night. It's perfectly fine and safe to leave the router on 24/7. Just ensure your Wireless security is up to snuff (WPA2-PSK is the best to use) and your PCs are secure. The same goes with DSL. FiOS and DSL are always-on services by design.
If you have a Mobile Hotspot through say, Verizon Wireless, you'll be best turning off the Hotspot at night so your data plan isn't eaten up by background noise or anything on the wireless overnight.
