Reboot your router and modem if you suspect your network isn't working as it should. Maybe web pages aren't loading, Netflix freezes halfway through a movie, or your smart speakers suddenly stop playing music.
Whatever the case may be, restarting the router gives it time to cool off and flush out its memory. Sometimes, especially with older hardware, having the router on and working in overdrive for too long is enough to demand a restart.
