I currently have a router made by your competitor, and I notice that even when the modem is disabled (standby) so that the wired ethernet on the WAN port is providing internet access, the modem gets hot and burns power (probably also shortening its life).
My question is, with the SOHO product, if I configure a modem for failover, will it be powered in standby (like the product I currently have), or is there a way to power it off in standby? From my experience, it doesn’t take that long for the modem to connect when powered on, so the advantage of constantly wasting power when in standby doesn’t make too much sense to me.
