Reboot Your Router
One of the first steps you can take is rebooting your router. You can reboot it by pressing the power button, leaving it off for 10-15 seconds, and turning it back on. If you don’t have a button, you can hard reboot it by unplugging the power cord for 10-15 seconds and plugging it back in. If you don’t feel comfortable rebooting your router by using the hardware, you can try to reboot it in Settings. Typically, you can get there by typing 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 and signing in with your administrative password. If you’re unsure, you’ll need to check your router’s manual for more information.

The amount of time it takes to complete a full reboot varies between routers, but you’re looking at around five minutes.
