One of the most frequently asked questions is how to reset your wireless router.

Although it may seem simple, the easiest way to solve various technical problems is to restart the device. Whether it's your computer, router, or modem, a good Olympic-style reboot can solve more problems than you think.

But, I need to go back and explain a little more. If you restart your computer, make sure you save anything you don't want to lose. If you haven't already added it to your normal computer usage - always save, backup, or shut down the program properly before you reset!

If you restart your home router or modem, the first thing you should consider is how you access it.

Restart, Reboot and Reset?

The glossary can get some kind of trick. People tend to use the words "restart", "restart" and "restore" differently, but these phrases can mean different things.

The words "restart" and "restart" mean the same thing: To turn off a device, reboot it immediately. Most computers have a "restart" button somewhere, but don't worry if it's called a "reboot". It's all the same. The real problem is when you start using the word "reset".

In the case of your home router or modem, "reset" is usually a pinhole button on the back that completely wipes out all the settings and redirects you to one category. In general, this is not what you want to do. Resetting the modem and/or router should be the last step.

Pressing the "Reset" button can remove your password from your WiFi, rename your network or take you completely offline.

Instead, how to restart your wireless router:

1. Remove your router or modem from its power supply (don't turn it off).
2. Wait 15-20 seconds, then re-enter it.
3. Allow a minute or two to reboot the device.
4. It may seem simple, but doing this can solve many connection problems without the difficulty of resetting your modem or router.

Of course, sometimes you need to reset your router or modem and start again with 1 type. In most cases, the device is often used to power-cycling.
