I started doing this about a year ago. Not because it takes longer to boot up, but because I was trying to see which single device was most often the solution.
In my setup there is a fiber modem (outside the house), a Wi-Fi router, and then all the connected devices.
Oddly, the one that I need to restart the most, seems to be my Mac. Realizing, of course, the problem could still be on the router side, but turning wifi on and off on the laptop usually solves my problem.
I rebooted one device at a time for about a year and made notes about each failure. I didn’t see the pattern until I had done this for a long time.
I am not impressed with Macbooks networking, or specifically the wireless on the Intel Macs. I've gone through three and ended up with such severe wifi issues, that I inevitably ended up switching to a wired dongle for anything serious/in need of stability.
Never really had a more fickle laptop as far as wireless goes. Only a VAIO VPCZ1 after ten years of abuse as a gaming machine/daily driver started to get close. Again though, that's after 10 years. A Macbook will manifest that behavior within the first year for me.
The frustration has gotten me to the point I'm reading up on USB/PCI-E/datasheets implementation/protocol details so I can actually try figuring out WTF could be the cause.
