Here's my solution. I use a USB micro cable with on/off switch here:

Then use a USB micro -> mini converter here:

Any better solutions out there?

I am using a rechargeable USB battery that has an on/of switch. I will be selling these shortly.

I had an extra TP-LINK smart plug I wasn't using. My ridiculous solution was to configure it to work with my Alexa devices. So, I say "Alexa, turn off the modem". Heh, heh.
I find it highly amusing to use voice commands to control hardware that interfaces with my Apple //e.

Thanks - you've given me the idea of getting a 2A inline lamp rocker switch. Then chop up the long mini USB cable I'm using. Then wire it up with the switch.
If I solder in some extra wire for length for the data wires as well - it can still be used as a data cable for something else.
