When you reset the wi-fi router, why does it take so long to turn on? What happens during that time?
In: Technology
Your router is waking up like a nonmorning person- its hair is a mess and it’s slow to get moving. So it needs to go to the mirror and see that its hair is a mess then take the time to fix it. Once its hair is fixed and teeth are brushed, it goes out and says goodmorning to the family- Mama Modem and Daddy Desktop, along with any other siblings it may have. Mama has prepared breakfast as always and its your router’s job to set the table and pass out the food to everyone. And as much as we all wish food instantaneously appeared on everyone’s plates, it takes a little time.

Routers have several components, both hardware and software (physical parts and programs). Your router will check itself for issues when you turn it on. You can watch this process with the right tools! Once the check is passed, it pings the things that its connected to, such as your modem and computer, and tries to connect to them, looking to take internet from the modem and give it to anything else plugged in (such as computer, gaming consoles, etc).
