I have had the same router for at least 2 years. NetGear WNR1000. One laptop that is never left on over night. The status meter is downloaded on it and I am always aware of data usage. We have a desktop computer with all updates set overnight and it is left on most of the time. We have never had a problem with the settings. It has a status meter downloaded and we watch it carefully. My husband has had an IPhone with no extra apps on it and has had it for 10 months with no problems. I have an Iphone. If I use my Wi-Fi, I turn it on and watch my data on my computer. I do not leave my phone connected to Wi-Fi overnight. There are not other devices that can connect to Wi-Fi in our home.
