wired router (Linksys)

I was just wandering why there are no on/off switches on these routers. I contacted Linksys through email and I haven't herd any thing back yet. I am trying to go green in my house, switching out light bulbs for florescent, plugging all electrical into power strips to turn off when not in use and at night. Just trying to save some money where I can. Thanks.

I think probably because of two main reasons:

• An on / off switch is counterintuitive to an "always on" broadband connection, and
• The more often times an electrical device is powered on and off the more wear and tear you put on it....

Thanks, the simple answers I seem to overlook. Make sense though.
