Thanks to the broadband technician's reminder, I know that the router should be "turned off regularly". No wonder the WiFi is slow and slow.

Nowadays, wireless WIFI networks are available in every corner of the city. Whether at home, in the company, milk tea shop, etc., most people give priority to using WiFi to access the Internet.

This includes turning off data traffic and connecting to WIFI after getting home from get off work. This has become a common practice.

But there is a question: Is the WIFI becoming stuck and slow because the router is always working without a break?

Some people turn off their routers every day, while others keep them on 24 hours a day. If the router really needs to be shut down regularly, how often should it be shut down? Let me share with you some things about routers.

In fact, the router needs to be "turned off" regularly for three reasons.

1. Avoid equipment aging

If the machine is turned on for a long time, it will be damaged. Although the power and heat dissipation of the router are very small, the long-term continuous operation will keep the device in a high temperature state, which will cause the internal electronic components to age faster. And it cannot fully exert its efficiency, thus affecting the network speed.

It will also increase the chance of failure! Therefore, shutting down the router appropriately will help improve the working efficiency of the equipment.

2. Avoid excessive caching

Routers are like mobile phones. After being used for a long time, a large amount of cache will accumulate, which will block the data transmission speed, that is, slow down the speed! Restarting the router can allow the device to clean itself.

Or you can also go to the router settings page and clear the cache.

3. Avoid illegal intrusion

When you go out, it is recommended to turn off the router. There are many information theft methods exposed on the Internet, and hackers can illegally invade and obtain information through the router.

If you turn off the router when it is not in use, you can reduce the possibility of intrusion to a certain extent.

It seems that the router needs to be shut down regularly, so how often should it be shut down?

The answer is every day as much as possible. Turn it off before going to bed, or before going to work, and turn it on when you come back to keep your WiFi high speed!
