🛜 “Restarting your router fixes 80% of your internet issues. Here’s why.”

If your internet’s being slow, glitchy, or just plain unreliable — try the classic move: turn it off and on again.

💡 But why does that actually work?

✅ 1. Clears memory: Routers build up a backlog of tasks and connections. Restarting gives it a clean slate.

✅ 2. Resets your IP lease: If your internet provider’s given you a dodgy or stale IP address, a reboot can force a fresh one.

✅ 3. Stops signal jams: Too many devices or random glitches? Restarting resets the signal to all your connected gear.

✅ 4. Overheating relief: Routers can run hot and act up. A power cycle gives them a breather.

📌 Pro Tip:

Unplug it for 30 seconds before turning it back on. This ensures the internal cache clears properly.
