If your internet is not going as fast as you want, or if you would just like to speed it up a little, pay attention to these simple steps to restart the router and improve speed. Many times it is enough to give the device a small “reset” so that it starts working at full speed again. Don’t waste any more time! Keep reading this article and learn how to reset the router correct

Why is it necessary to reset the router?

Today the router is a device that lives on all day, almost all year (unless there is a blackout) so restarting it could be very useful.

Although many routers come with a reset function, it does not always work as expected. This is why it is sometimes necessary to perform a “hard reset” on the device to restore all its settings to default values. This can fix connection issues, improve speed, or even resolve conflicts between devices on your home network.

How to restart the router with a small “reset” to speed up Wi-Fi?

Each router is different and the way to reboot may vary. However, most of them are restarted using the power or on/off button, and in fact, the steps are very simple:

1. Press the button until the lights turn off.

2. Wait 30 seconds, some professionals talk about the 10 second rule, that is, keep it off for at least 10 seconds.

3. Press the button again to turn it on and wait until it is fully charged, about 2 minutes.

Restarting the router solves various problems with WiFi and our internet, since it restarts the network and frees it from IP connections that are not used.

If implementing the reset does not resolve the issue, you can request something else. An alternative is to change the password, so you can free yourself from third-party users who are using your WiFi.
