If you have a Wi-Fi router, you know the drill. When the internet goes down at home, you unplug the device, wait for a minute or so, and plug it back in. For some reason, rebooting your router seems to do the trick. Why? You might not think of it this way, but your router is actually a small computer. Inside that plastic box is a CPU, memory, and local storage, all running on an operating system. And like a computer, some things can go wrong from time to time. And that means they too benefit from a fresh start every now and then just like computers.
Now people have 10, 15, 30 different devices that connect to the internet and that’s increasing the demand on that networking load. When that happens, your router can run out of memory or slow down until the system grinds to a halt. With lesser memory, the average wireless router can get hung up in download requests. But a quick reboot of your router will flush away all that and will increase its performance of speed. If you are facing connectivity issues, restart your router. If you are having trouble in speed, restart the router. Having frequent drops in the connection? Try restarting the router once, maybe your issue will get resolved within a couple of minutes.
