A question for anyone who is good with routers and internet.

What does it mean when my internet goes out when someone is calling me, or I'm using the phone? Sometimes it will happen just when the phone rings. Sometimes it comes back on a minute or so later, and sometimes it stays off until I make a phone call, or someone else phones me.

Thanks

Routers come with a reset button. Find it.

@SnowBlack Oh, I know that. I remember using it back in 2019 when something went wrong, and it just made things worse according to someone who helped fix it, and said that it shouldn't be pressed.

@Bri89 The reset button should restore viable factory settings. If not then you could have dirty or damaged circuitry. Also, temporary power disconnection followed by a wait period of ten minutes can facilitate restoration of service.
