Orbi RBR50 and RBS50 Should I leave on 24/7 or power off in evenings

Very happy with my new Orbi units.  Don't know if I should leave units on 24/7 or power down at any time.

    You shouln't need to power it down. WiFi routers can run 24/7

        I left my RBR50 and two RBS50s running 24/7 for months without any issues (each is on a UPS).
