When should you reboot your router?
Published on January 2, 2025
When does a reboot help?
- Sudden slowdown after hours/days
- Frequent Wi‑Fi drops
- Network disappears or signal weakens unexpectedly
When it’s not enough
- The issue returns within minutes
- Heavy interference / crowded channels
- QoS or bufferbloat settings need tuning
Practical step
Reboot, then compare ping and jitter before/after.
