Why you should regularly reboot your router

Regularly rebooting your router is a simple but effective way to ensure a stable and fast home network. Every day, this device performs dozens of tasks: distributing IP addresses, monitoring connections, filtering traffic, and supporting data exchange between all devices.

Over time, your router's RAM gradually fills up with temporary sessions, errors, and other "traces" of past connections. This can cause your internet speed to drop, freeze, or briefly disconnect, especially when you have a lot of devices connected to your network.

Rebooting helps to "clear" RAM, end stuck processes, and reset errors. This is especially important after updating firmware or changing connection settings by your ISP - often such changes take effect only after a restart.

Modern routers often have a scheduled automatic reboot feature. It’s best to set it to run at night, when the network is not being used much. If this option isn’t available, it’s enough to reboot the device manually at least once a week — by pressing the power button or briefly unplugging the cable from the outlet.

Regular restarts "refresh" the system, reduce the risk of crashes, and help avoid unpleasant surprises with Internet speed or stability at an important moment.
