WiFi is getting slower and slower. Here’s how to revive it

Using WiFi to surf the Internet has become an indispensable part of our lives and work. I believe that in actual use, everyone is very particular about the speed of WiFi. When the wireless router runs for a long time, there will be slow Internet access, lag, high latency, etc., which requires us to restart the wireless router to solve. However, how to restart the wireless router? Why is it enough to restart the wireless router? Let's learn a few tricks below!

Wireless router memory chip

Simply put, a wireless router is a small "computer" that also consists of a processor, memory, and storage device. Due to hardware configuration and usage time, our computers may experience lags when running, and the same is true for wireless routers. Nowadays, the wireless routers in everyone's homes are working almost 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with basically no time to rest. During this period, it continuously receives and forwards data through the network, allowing our mobile devices to access the Internet normally.

Many routers have a scheduled reboot feature

In this long-term working situation, when we use the computer, we will feel that it is "getting slower and slower" because the memory usage is getting larger and larger. The same is true for wireless routers. Processing a large amount of data for a long time will occupy a large amount of memory in the wireless router, resulting in no place to store new data when it is transmitted. The old data needs to be erased and then written, and we will feel that the network has become stuck. In addition, our smartphones, tablets, laptops and other mobile devices will send requests to the wireless router, making the wireless router overwhelmed.

Or use a smart socket to automatically cut off and then turn on the power

Therefore, restarting the wireless router regularly can clear the memory of the wireless router. As soon as the power is turned off, the data saved in the memory will disappear, thereby achieving the purpose of resetting the data in the memory. Regularly clearing out the previously useless data can make the wireless router light and provide a good network experience. In addition, when our dial-up connection is disconnected, restarting the wireless router can automatically dial up to the Internet. Restarting the router can also solve the problem of the wireless router not being able to access the Internet.
