I'm multitasking an online training for security. it say that, for mobile devices, wifi should be turned off when not being used.

how few people actually do that, do we think?

up goes the data use when it's forgotten to turn back on, eh?

I thought it was for security so you didn't connect with a hostile wife node that can record your logins/passwords - zeitgeist Apr 18, 20:57 2
- yah, it's a security thing; but I'd bet most people who ever use wifi don't turn it on and off unless there's an issue or they're trying to save - b. Apr 18, 21:01 1
  - what I read about it, someone sets up a trap wifi open spot, you connect to that which acts like a server? but it gets your logins so if you access - zeitgeist Apr 18, 23:25
I keep it on all the time. I use almost no mobile data. -- nm - Mop Apr 18, 19:25
I turn it off to save battery. -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 18, 19:20
That's what i do. Also wears on battery. Same for location and bluetooth -- nm - budice Apr 18, 18:52 2
- For the effort it make to turn it off and on. It isn't worth the gain in battery life -- nm - Karl_S Apr 18, 20:17
- I have bluetooth turned off for that reason, but I rarely use it vs. wifi. -- nm - b. Apr 18, 19:06
