Save electricity - which IB, which settings?

@daffy2

As already noted in the previous article, the Internet boxes have for some time now been absolutely “power strip switch compatible” even on copper connections, meaning they can simply be switched off at any time and only switched on again when necessary.

In fact, this is by far the most resource-efficient option, because it only needs electricity when you are actively using it.

The disadvantages in use are actually minor:

- Additional 30-60 seconds startup time for the router

- additional 2-3 minutes startup time for the new TV-Box 5

- Occasionally you will miss an automatic update, but this can be done at any time

However, you won’t be able to achieve huge savings with this because the power consumption of the router is only around 10 watts.

PS: With regard to line stabilization, the only thing that needs to be avoided is that the DSL cable is unplugged during ongoing operation, or that repeated firmware updates are carried out when the DSL line is active, but outside the official service windows
