Is it better to power down when away/not in use for some time?
If planning to be away and not using WiFi for several days or more, is it a good idea to turn off the Nighthawk router?

I'd agree. I've had more things fail during power on/off than any other time. For the minimal savings you'd get, I'd leave it.
