      I'm terrified of unplugging my NETGEAR DG834G Wireless Router (802.11g) because I'm worried it will lose its settings. I've heard it has an internal battery, so it keeps its settings, but how long does that last? Am I being rational? Is it OK to keep it on the whole time, even though its very warm?

      Yes you can keep it on all the time (I used to) but try and keep it cool if you can, it's never too good. If it did get ludicrously hot, then you would have to turn it off and consider over options.

      I don't believe it will lose its settings. Pretty sure a decent router would keep settings safe on some small harddrive or flash drive.

      Yeah of course

      It would be a major design flaw to make a router rely on being plugged in 24/7 in order to keep its memory.

      ...Though I wonder why alarm clocks don't come with backup batteries

      Most Routers are prone to loosing Sync and you have to turn it off anyway to resync the network.

      Oh and My alram clock uses batteries also but I use the power adapter..lol

      I'd have thought all routers store settings on flash memory, along with it's bios

      no?
