Monthly router reboots are recommended not just for restoring Wi-Fi performance, but for three key reasons: flushing memory leaks and DHCP conflicts from accumulated background processes, triggering a fresh Wi-Fi channel scan to avoid congested channels, and clearing suspicious connections or malware from volatile RAM. Modern routers handle thousands of simultaneous connections and can accumulate 'ghost' connections over time. Scheduling a monthly reboot during off-hours is a simple maintenance habit that improves both performance and security.
