Your WiFi feels slower after a power outage or storm
After a power outage, equipment restarts in a scrambled state. A deliberate full power cycle done in the right order fixes most post-storm WiFi problems.
When power goes out, all your equipment shuts down at once. When power comes back, everything restarts at the same time but in a mixed-up order. The router starts before the modem is fully online, cables can have come loose, and the system gets confused. A deliberate power cycle done in the correct sequence fixes this in most cases.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Pressing the small reset button on the router — this factory resets your WiFi network and you'll have to set it up again from scratch
- Plugging modem and router back in at the same time instead of sequentially — the router connects before the modem is ready
- Assuming everything is broken after one outage when it's just a startup state problem
Signs you need professional help
- Speed test stays much slower than normal after sequential power cycle
- Modem shows red or amber lights that don't clear after a power cycle
- Equipment smells like burning or shows scorch marks
