Restart Your Router Monthly for Better Speed
The Problem
Your internet has been getting slower. Pages load slowly. Streaming buffers.
The Hack
Unplug your router from power. Wait 30 seconds. Plug back in. Wait 2-3 minutes for full reconnection.
Why It Works
Routers are small computers that accumulate memory leaks, routing table bloat, and IP conflicts over time. Rebooting clears everything and forces fresh connections.
Pro Tips
- 30 seconds unplugged clears volatile memory completely
- Do this once a month as preventive maintenance
- Also restart your modem (the device from your ISP) at the same time
- If problems persist after reboot, call your ISP
