Option 1: Physical Reboot (Combined Modem/Router)

If it's one device (modem + router in one):

  • Unplug the power cable from the back of the router.
  • Wait 30 seconds.
  • Plug it back in.
  • Wait 1–2 minutes for it to fully boot up.

📱 Option 2: Reboot from Phone or Computer

If you're connected to Wi-Fi and want to reboot it from a browser:

  • Open a browser (like Chrome or Safari).
     
  • In the address bar, type your router’s IP address, usually:

192.168.0.1 or

192.168.1.1
(Check the label on the back of your router if unsure.)

  • Log in to the router’s settings page.

Username: usually admin

Password: check the back of your router or your manual

  • Look for a menu option like “System”, “Maintenance”, or “Administration”.
     
  • Find and click “Reboot” or “Restart”.
