Do I turn off my router?

I am going to be away from home for a couple of weeks and my home it system will not be used in my absence.  Therefore, do I turn off my router while I am away from home for this period while I am away or do I leave it switched on?  No one will be using it while I am away. I will want to use immediately on my return.

 

Any help/advice will be appreciated.

Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

Hi

 

We do advise to leave the router on, or it may cause the automated system to lower the profile and reduce the speeds, so could be a little slower on your return.
