When you reset the wi-fi router, why does it take so long to turn on? What happens during that time?
In: Technology
I can answer this, because I work with routers.
Turning a router on and off is similar to turning a light on and off a light build. It should turn on instantaneously. Which it does.
But for a router to work, it needs to run programs or software that communicates back to a station. That software is what’s causing the router from working straight away. It will send out a command which identifies itself to a station, wait until the station respond, then proceed to continue run everything else which can take some time for the router to process.
Boot up time is also depended on it’s hardware. So faster chip means faster computation that process the software quicker.
