Is there a possible intrusion into the home network?
Yes, keeping Wi-Fi always active and searching for networks consumes power, which naturally drains the limited recharge cycles. For most devices, this difference isn’t noticeable enough to measure reliably. Right now, I mostly overlook it because of the convenience, especially since I rarely remember to switch it off—only noticing it after nearly using up half my monthly mobile data in just two days. I used to turn Bluetooth off on my phone because it wastes energy and keeps me from advertising BT devices. But with a new phone, I started using it for hands-free calls with my car, so I decided to leave it on. Even after five and a half years, the battery still lasts about half as long as when it was new, yet its overall performance hasn’t made me want to replace it.
