Restarting the router is much more useful and important than we think. I am fully aware of this as I have been asked more than once for help with internet connection issues and in many cases a simple restart was enough to solve them.

Unfortunately, I’ve also met people who underestimated this step, didn’t do it, and after going back and forth and applying at home “just to be sure” it stopped working. Don’t do it, always follow the steps they give you in the correct order, and if you haven’t used any, admit it, because if you don’t, you’re just prolonging and complicating the troubleshooting process.

Still, I know you’re probably wondering why it’s so important and so effective to reboot the router, and the answer is very simple, because this device has its own hardware, and that includes both the processor and RAM, which means that over time there may be unresolved errors that become lodged and cause router problems. When it restarts The RAM memory will be emptiedand it is very likely that these errors will disappear automatically.

How to reboot the router

Before I explain the steps you need to follow, which are very simple, you need to keep this in mind We are talking about reboot and not reset or restore router to factory settings. To do this, you need to follow the instructions of the specific manufacturer of your router, although in many cases it is enough to hold down a certain button, which is usually quite hidden and difficult to find. In these cases, it helps to have a paper clip handy.

Well, with that all clear, we’re ready to go take a look necessary steps reboot the router:

• Turn off the router with the power button.
• Unplug the power cord and network cables.
• Wait at least 60 seconds, although it’s ideal to go a little further and wait between two and five minutes.
• Reconnect the power cord and power cord.
• Turn on the router and wait for the boot process to complete.

This process can solve many Internet connection problems that seem impossible and inexplicable at first glance, so don’t underestimate its importance. To make the process even more efficient It is advisable to restart the connected devices that they had problems.
