Just disconnect the leds on the computer or cover over them with masking tape (or similar) on the router ;)
FWIW I'd leave the router always on because I've known power supplies to die when being switched on/off all the time, maybe someone who knows electronics can say why. That and if your isps authentication servers go away then you won't be able to logon which has happened to me a couple of times in the past and it's very annoying.
