The Official: Power Cycle your Router and Modem Thread

[BlueTsunami]

Your shit Internet is probably bogged down due to your wonky Linksys WRT54G Router needing a 30 Second rest. Now I can run my torrents and browse the interwebs at a tolerable speed. I always forget to do this.

DO IT AND BE HAPPY

[FatalT]

Upgrade your firmware too!

[BlueTsunami]

Oh, I got the open source Alchemy firmwire installed (IE FUCKING AWESOME LIKE PARTICLES MOM, I'm joking Particle, your Mom is coo)

Its just I haven't Power Cycled in months, I think.

[Madrun Badrun]

I haven't power cycled in like two years.

DO IT

And experience the quickness

[CajoleJuice]

I do it a bunch. But my speed barely increases. Because Verizon DSL blows. And I have the cheap plan.

After installing and tuning my two DD-WRTd Buffalo routers, all powercycles are the fault of the power company and not of any direct action. DD-WRT is awesome.
