Your router keeps restarting on its own
A router that keeps restarting is caused by a bad power cable, too much heat, or an automatic update. Start by trying a different power outlet and checking that the vents aren't blocked. If that doesn't work, try unplugging everything for 30 seconds and plugging it back in.
Constant rebooting means the router is powering itself down and back up repeatedly. This happens because of heat, a power problem, or a bug in the software. Fixing it is straightforward — just moving the router, checking the power, or restarting once.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Assuming it's a software problem when it's actually heat or power — always check the physical stuff first
- Not moving the router to a truly open space — even being near a heater or in direct sun can cause problems
- Only waiting a few minutes before concluding it's fixed — leave it running for at least an hour
Signs you need professional help
- If the router is still restarting after trying the cooling and power cable steps
- If the router appears to be stuck updating and won't start normally
- If the power cable or outlet appears damaged
