I have read the advice that the router should be left on 24/7 and have tried to keep to this (except when YEDL lost our power for 14 hours recently. A day without broadband is like a ??????
However, my Belkin router has what it calls "self healing".
The relevant section in the set-up says this:
"Self Healing > Regular Maintenance
Regular router re-initialization is helpful in maintaining a more problem free network.
Auto initialize my router weekly > Enabled Disabled
Set Days >

Question, do I enable this feature or not?

hahahahahahahaha..
"Self healing" .... what rubbish. What they really mean is the software (and maybe even hardware) is broken, and periodic reboot is all they can manage to fix it.
On the basis that they feel it's needed, I'd suggest enabling it, and let it do it weekly.

As Phil said, it won't do any harm letting it reboot once a week.

I leave mine off. I reset my router to factory settings and it turned self healing back on and I forgot about it. It was set for 3:30 am tuesday mornings and both times it reset the router the sync speed dropped. Which in turn dropped my speed. So while ever you have a BT line I would leave it off.
