hi

i have the linksys wrtg452. it does not have a on/off switch obviously. lol.
since im not using the net 24/7 i always have to plug and unplug it from the outlet. but the oulet is all the way down on a corner and i have to stoop really low and bend my body to reach the outlet. there is no other outlet that is close to the router.

so im thinking of leaving it plugged in even when im not using it.

Q: will it overheat if i leave it plugged in there for days? is there any other solution for this kind of problem?
