I haven't seen a Silicon Chip magazine up close and personal in many years so missed the article you mentioned. I did consider using one of my newer PICAXE chips to do the power switching in the router's DC feed as they have a really easy time feature to implement but I had two of these 7 day timers (Excalibur EDT (about $15 from Bunnings?)) on hand.
They have an LCD to help set up the times for each of the 20 timing options for On/Off switching but I am just using one of the 20. My timer has been set up to switch On all 7 days around 2AM and switch Off the preceding minute on Mon-Wed-Fri, though it could have been every day had I so desired, or even just 1 day a week.
Certainly the WLAN speed is now more consistent - and around the correct value - since adding the timer control a few days back.
