Whenever my internet is slow or I’m having any sort of issue with it, why does restarting my modem fix it 95% of the time?
In: Technology
When this has happened, it’s almost always due to a connection issue between your modem and your provider. Most people have an integrated modem and router, and resetting it reestablishes the connection.
If you’re using cable, there’s a lot of really complicated stuff around channel bonding and how your bandwidth is getting shared with other users that doing a reset can fix.
So it’s rarely a hardware issue as one of the other commenters suggested
