I configured the router to reboot automatically each morning, and as a result, my internet speed has improved
As routers age, they can accumulate extraneous processes that hinder network speed and reliability, resulting in slow browsing or outages. To address this issue, I devised a method to automate the rebooting of my router, enhancing its performance without the need for me to manually switch it off and on whenever I encounter problems.
It is worth noting that rebooting is not just a casual recommendation, but an essential practice to maintain a stable connection. By doing so, you can not only improve WiFi quality, but also reduce latency and avoid annoying weak signal issues that affect web page loading or streaming content playback.
Performing this method periodically is a very effective way to “clean” your memory and improve its performance. Likewise, processes that accumulate over time are eliminated, essential resources are freed up and the connection to your ISP is reconnected. This translates into faster, more stable internet with fewer interruptions.
However, many people do this manually when they notice that their WiFi is slow, but they forget that it is possible to program the router to reboot itself. This, in the end, ensures that the device is periodically optimized without having to worry about doing it yourself, saving time and improving your wireless experience.
_ How to schedule router to reboot automatically?
Access your router settings: Open your web browser and enter your router’s IP address into the address bar. This is usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, but may vary depending on the model.
Enter your credentials: You will be asked for your username and password. This information is usually printed on a sticker on the bottom or back of your router.
Look for the Scheduled Reboot option: Once you are in the router configuration, look for the “Admin” tab or similar, and within it the “Scheduled Reboot” or “Scheduled Reboot” option.
Set Restart Time: Choose the time you want your router to restart automatically. It is recommended to do this at dawn, when no one is using your WiFi connection.
Scheduling your WiFi router to automatically reboot is essential to maintaining an optimal internet connection. By doing so, you ensure that the device is always running at its best, without unnecessary processes accumulating that could affect its performance.
With this simple tweak, you will be able to improve the speed and stability of your network, reduce latency as well as outages, improve overall performance and avoid network issues. It is a simple yet very effective trick to enjoy fast and stable internet browsing.
