We don’t usually think of our routers as tired. But over time, they collect a bit of digital dust–old data, connection errors, and other junk that can slow things down. Giving your router a quick reset now and then is like handing it a cup of coffee and saying, “Take five.”
Your router has a memory bank, or cache, where it stores temporary information about the websites you visit. Think of it like a quick-reference list of places you've been online. It holds things like IP addresses (essentially a website street address) to speed up your browsing.
So far, so good, right? Mostly. But sometimes that stored info can include errors, like if a website doesn’t load properly or an app crashes. That error gets saved too, and it can cause problems when you try to reconnect.
Over time, this cache can get a little messy, slowing things down or making some sites act weird. That’s where a cache clear comes in.
Clearing your cache just takes a router reboot (yep, that's all):
That’s it! You’ve cleared the cache and given your router a fresh start. You can do this every couple of months or any time your connection starts acting up.
