Do not turn off the power to the router directly.. I have created a method to safely shutdown the router so that there is no adverse effect on the connected discs. Read about it here Easiest Way to Shutdown Asus WL-500W | Shantanu's Technophilic Musingsharley02 said:Hi guys,
All problems solved and everything seems to be working fine. One last doubt.....what is the procedure to turn off the HDD and router? Should i stop all services running and then switch off the HDD (i have an off button on my HDD case) and then turn off the router or VICE VERSA?
I don't want to simply unplug the power to the router. Is there any easy way to make sure the hard drive is safe to unplug?
Thanks for your help.
