Your router keeps restarting on its own
A restarting router is almost always overheating, has a failing power supply, or is plugged into a socket that's loose. First, make sure your router is in a cool, well-ventilated place — not in a cupboard or covered by papers. If it's hot to the touch, turn it off, let it cool down for an hour, and move it to a cooler spot.
Routers are computers and they need good airflow to stay cool. When they overheat, they restart automatically to protect themselves — it's a safety feature. A warm power cable or adapter means the power supply is failing. We'll make sure your router has room to breathe, check for overheating, and if that doesn't fix it, replace the power supply.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Putting the router back in the cupboard after moving it out — once you move it to a cool, open space, leave it there or it will overheat again
- Using a power adapter with different specs than the original — wrong voltage or amperage can damage the router
- Ignoring a warm power adapter and assuming the router will eventually stabilize — a failing adapter will only get worse
Signs you need professional help

- Everything looks fine but the router keeps restarting — it is a hardware failure that needs expert diagnosis
