Thanks for your reply. I did not notice a power switch, but maybe I missed it. The unit was almost out
of reach, on a sizable work area for printers, monitors, PCs, phones, etc. The power plug was very
evident, though.

I think it has to either be a setting that isn't properly set, or else it's RoadRunner.

At this location, the printers are off except when being used, the computers and monitors are turned off
whenever they will not be in use for longer than an hour, but the SMC and Surfrider cable modem should
always have power.
