A router for your home
Long-term operation is prone to network lag
Many people are used to restarting
There are even people who specifically turn off the router to give it a break
So should the router be turned off?
How often is it closed?
Is the router turned off?
I have asked many friends, many people have said that the router installed at home has not been related since it was opened, and in fact, the router needs to be turned off every day.
1, long-term non-shutdown, easy to lead to equipment aging
Although the power of the router is very small, the heat dissipation is not large, but the long-term uninterrupted operation is also easy to cause the equipment to overheat, which will accelerate the aging of the internal electronic components of the equipment, in addition to reducing the service life of the equipment, it will also increase the probability of failure.
If it is not easy to understand, it can also be considered that the router also needs to "rest", and giving it a proper "relaxation" will help improve its work efficiency.
2, too much cache, easy to drag down the speed
Does the router also have a cache?
Yes, just as the system will prompt to clear the cache in the phone after a certain period of time, the router itself also has a cache.
Long-term use will cause the router itself to accumulate a large amount of cache, which is usually cleared by entering the router settings.
If you feel too complicated, you can also turn off the router to start self-cleaning.
3. Illegal network rubbing, information security risks
Cases of information theft are often exposed on the Internet, many of which are caused by hackers breaking into routers.
So from this point of view, it is also necessary to turn off the router frequently, especially if the person is not at home.
4. How often is it reasonable to close?
In general, it is a good choice to turn off once a day.
How are routers placed?
What is the most frightening thing about playing mobile phones and watching TV? The web page can not be opened, watch the video to buffer, in fact, the placement of the router is also learned, learn to place correctly, in order to better "surf" online!
1. The router is placed in the center of the living room
The principle of WiFi router is to send signals to all sides, placed in the window or corner of the signal is easy to be blocked, so it is best to put the WiFi router in the center of the living room to ensure that each room can receive.
If the object is too large, it will indeed affect the wireless signal, such as wardrobes and walls, which may be blocked; the other interceptor is metal, which has more ability to block the wireless signal than the former. So don't put clutter around the router, the best way is to put it in the middle of the empty living room, without anything blocking it.
2, the router should not be placed on the ground
WiFi routers do not put on the floor, The WiFi signal will weaken with the increase of distance, it will be weakened when passing through solid materials, and the signal will be weakened by the blocking signal of the floor!
It is best to place the router on a table or shelf, about one meter above the ground, so that the signal can better propagate in space.
3. Change the direction of the router antenna
Teach you a trick, the two antennas of the router are placed at right angles, and the signal is transmitted in multiple directions, so that whether it is playing the mobile phone horizontally or vertically, the WiFi signal will not be affected.
4. Stay away from other electronic products
Many people like to put the router on top of the TV, which will also weaken the signal! Most of the electrical appliances such as televisions, microwave ovens, induction cookers and other equipment that directly emit electromagnetic signals will interfere with the WiFi signal; refrigerators, air conditioners and other equipment with large motors (compressors) inside will also interfere with the signal during work.
