How often should light cats and routers be turned off?

Light cats are generally provided by operators. His main job is optical modulation and demodulation, which converts the optical signal in the optical fiber from the operator into an electrical signal that can be used by routers or computers, or converts the electrical signal requesting data sent by home equipment into an optical signal, modulates it into a standard optical signal, and sends it to the operator through light.

Routers are generally purchased by themselves and need to be connected through network cables. On LAN 1 port in Guang Mao, data is forwarded and routed between user equipment and optical wave. Generally speaking, routers, especially wireless Internet access, are essential. Moreover, most of them are mainly forwarded by wireless routers, and some damaged packets or useless data will inevitably accumulate during the use of routers.

Although the optical cat and router are designed to work 24 hours a day, when there is a lot of junk data, the optical cat and router may not work normally, resulting in a slow network. When the network is slow, it is recommended to restart the optical cat and router. In most cases, there is no need to specifically restart the optical cat and router.

My suggestion is that optical cats and routers usually need to be restarted. However, when the temperature is high in summer, it is recommended to turn off the light cat and router 10 minutes every day.

In the home network, the light cat is the data hub, which is designed according to 24-hour continuous work. Some users who use solid-state mobile phones also need a light cat to turn on 24 hours a day. The author's light cat, the highest record is running for three years in a row.

Similarly, wireless routers are designed to work continuously for 24 hours. In terms of service life, neither the optical cat nor the router will affect the service life. But if the optical cat and router work for a long time, especially in summer, the temperature will be too high. Some users' light cats are placed in a weak box and narrow space, and it is easy to crash when the temperature is too high.

So as long as the broadband works normally, there is no need to restart the optical cat and router. When the temperature is high in summer, you can turn off the machine for 10 minutes every day to cool down the equipment.

Some netizens think that optical cats and routers will have a lot of cache or junk files after long-term work, which will affect the internet speed. Strictly speaking, this statement is incorrect. In fact, the optical cat and router work for a long time, and the system will also run at a reduced frequency after the temperature rises, which will affect the network speed.

Therefore, as long as the temperature of the optical cat and router is not high at ordinary times, there is no need to restart. If you think the temperature is too high, just turn it off 10 minutes.

Optical cat and router are actually a microcomputer with CPU, memory, hard disk and so on. We know that the computer will be stuck for a long time, and it will be much smoother immediately after restarting. The same is true for light cats and routing. It is generally recommended to restart once a week.

What happens when the light cat and the router are always off?

Many people say that when using optical cats and routers, sometimes the network is often disconnected, just restart it! Especially in summer, this situation is particularly easy to happen.

1, overheating

In summer, optical cats and routers are easy to overheat after working for a long time, which will affect the running speed of optical cats and routers and lead to the slowdown of WiFi networks. This also depends on the quality and workmanship of the optical cat and router, and the material and heat dissipation structure design are also different.

Suggestion: Light cats and routers should not be placed in narrow sealed drawers and other places. In addition, these places will seriously affect the strength of WiFi signals. It should be placed in a place with good fluency and easy heat dissipation.

2. Too much data has been cached. As the intermediate nodes of data transmission, optical cats and routers also have data buffers. Working for a long time will make the occupancy rate of the buffer higher and higher. If accumulated to a certain extent, it will affect the data transmission speed of the optical cat and the router itself, and the network will slow down.

Light cats and routers also need to clean up dust.

Optical cats and routers are basically devices that work all day 365 days a year. After a long time, a lot of dust tends to accumulate inside them and some cooling holes. Dust is the number one invisible killer of electrical equipment. A large amount of dust accumulation will block the cooling holes of optical cats and routers, resulting in poor heat dissipation, which will cause crashes and unstable wireless networks for a long time.

Therefore, a lot of dust will accumulate on the surface of the optical cat and router, and it is necessary to clean the dust on the surface and the cooling hole with a dry cloth.

How to restart the optical cat and router

Be careful not to plug it directly into the jack behind the optical cat and router to achieve the purpose of restarting or shutting down, which will easily damage the optical cat and router and the power supply.

1. You can restart the optical cat by unplugging the power plug connecting it to the router. Don't plug it back in right away. It is recommended to plug it back after more than ten seconds.

2. Log in to the light cat and restart the router in the background. This is commonly used. If the router restarts regularly, it can also be set to restart automatically at any time from 2-6 am every day.

2. Restart or turn off the power switch by testing the light cat and the back of the router. Note: Do not turn on the power immediately after turning off the power. You can wait more than ten seconds before turning it on.

Optical cats and routers are actually very tired, especially those used at home, and the configuration is not very high. 24-hour boot can easily cause the cache to be full, and then waiting in line for the cache to be released, which will cause congestion. After manual restart, it is equivalent to emptying the cache directly, so that congestion will not occur.

The above personal views are welcome to criticize and correct. You can follow me if you like, thank you!

Those who agree with me, please like to go again, thank you again!

The characteristics of electronic products determine that regular maintenance of optical cats and routers is really necessary. How to maintain these devices is very simple, that is, you mentioned regular power outages and shutdowns. So how often is it closed, and how long is it better to close each time?

Light cat, full name is modem. The main function is to convert signals. Then the converted signal is handed over to the router for processing.

Routers, also known as gateway devices. The main function is to distribute the converted signal of optical cat, and distribute and transmit it according to the terminal ID of our equipment. It is the main node equipment of the Internet.

Because they are all electronic products, although the power consumption is very low, they basically run 24 hours. Therefore, it is understandable that waiting for a long time will cause fever and produce cache garbage.

The maintenance of these two devices is to turn off the power supply. It won't take long. In general, it is enough to turn off the electricity once a week for 20-30 minutes at a time. If the weather is too hot or the equipment is seriously hot, you can turn it off a little longer, 40-60 minutes.

You can choose to turn off the power at night and turn it on the next morning. It should be emphasized that if you travel or travel, it is best to turn off the power and let these two devices have a full rest.

How long does it take to maintain the light cat and router, and how long does it take to power off each time? I have shared all the knowledge I have learned before with you. With a little care, these two devices can operate normally, and there will be fewer mistakes and strikes.

Fiber cat

Modem, the so-called optical cat, is a necessary equipment for broadband network access of operators. Of course, NU is also possible. Its main function is to dial-in the network after the user opens the broadband service of the operator. Of course, the dialing function is usually done by the router. Of course, there are also the distribution and debugging of ITV and telephone landline functions.

router

Wireless signal transmitter, which is what we call a router, when we buy a router, the signal radiation range of the router is usually X2, which is the residential area of the house. In many cases, we don't need to blindly pursue a high-priced router, the right one is the best, otherwise it will lead to high performance and waste of the high-priced router, and the home 100 yuan level is completely enough.

Daily use and maintenance methods of optical fiber cats

After the user's broadband is opened, the optical fiber cat must always work, otherwise the network will be abnormal. In addition to 100M or above, the home network needs a better fiber-optic cat, and the usual fiber-optic cat does not need to be restarted regularly, because optical power is the main reason for determining the home network speed. However, as the Fiber Optic Cat is a microelectronic product, it is very sensitive to voltage, so remember to turn off the power supply in the case of thunderstorm weather or unstable voltage.

Daily use and maintenance of routers

When we usually use wireless devices, we are connected to the signal of the router. The unstable operation of the router will definitely affect our normal use, so it is necessary to restart it regularly, especially for routers that have been down for more than three years, but will resume after restarting. The only thing to note is that we don't need to restart it manually. All routers have a timed restart function in the background settings. We can set it to automatically restart between 4: 00 and 5: 00 in the morning, so that the router can run in a perfect state every day and restart in the early morning, because no one uses it and it will not affect users.

1. My personal suggestion is to restart once a week. 10- 15 minutes is enough. The location of the router should be well ventilated, which can not only reduce energy consumption and congestion, but also play a better role in heat dissipation.

2. Frequent restarting of routers and cats is easy to cause damage and affect the service life of hardware;

3. Don't restart the router for too long. Generally, the internal cache of routers is not large. If there is too much data exchange, it will easily affect the stability of the network, reduce the transmission speed and network speed, and accelerate the aging of internal components.

4. Some people will say that the router has been on for a long time. In fact, the voltage commonly used in home routers is 9V, and the electricity bill for almost one year is more than 20 yuan.

Hello, landlord! In fact, there is no standard or uniform answer to this question. The key is to form good habits. Let me talk about this topic from the perspective of an employee who runs an enterprise.

Optical cats and routers are simple electronic devices.

Optical cat is actually a photoelectric conversion device. Of course, with the technological change of broadband network, the optical cat now has some simple functions, such as dialing, vlan isolation (mainly used for itv), wireless routing and so on.

At present, users basically need routers, mainly because of the rise of smart phones, PADs and other electronic devices, which must be accessed by wireless LAN. There are many kinds of wireless routers on the market at present.

Both of them actually belong to the category of simple electronic equipment. Its core accessories are the electronic components inside, and then some plastic shells are put on the outside.

Electronic components have a lifetime.

Electronic components have a limited life and cannot be energized for a long time. Every time you power on for a long time, it is the loss of electronic components, and this loss is irreversible, so it is necessary to avoid the long-term power on of optical cats and routers.

I personally suggest that the optical cat and router should be turned off when not in use, and not turned on for a long time. Especially when there is no one at home, plugging in electricity is easy to form a fire hazard.

Light cats and routers had better be restarted every day.

Any long-term operation of electronic equipment will increase the load of CPU. For example, if a computer is turned on for a long time without restarting, it is conceivable that no matter how good the performance is, the response speed of the computer will become slower and slower. So do optical cats and routers.

Cats are generally provided by operators. His main job is optical modulation and demodulation, which converts the optical signal in the optical fiber from the operator into an electrical signal that can be used by routers or computers, or converts the electrical signal requesting data sent by home equipment into an optical signal, modulates it into a standard optical signal, and sends it to the operator through light.

When the network is slow, it is recommended to restart the optical cat and router. In most cases, there is no need to specifically restart the optical cat and router.

As a senior digital store manager who has opened a store for a long time, I can tell you responsibly that you don't have to close it. Generally, the electricity is not turned off, and it will be fine for several years. However, many users who often close their stores may have various minor faults after using their equipment for less than one year or 1 2 years. In addition, their power consumption is very low. So it doesn't need to be closed under normal circumstances. For example, in the early days, everyone used Wu Si bulbs for lighting in their homes, and the bulbs were often broken when electrified. I think this is a truth. Of course, this may not be the case in theory, but it is the case in practice.

How often is it better to turn off the light cat and router? In the actual process of connecting to the network by using the optical fiber cat and the wireless router WIFI, occasionally connecting to the wireless network will find that the network is delayed and the response speed of opening the webpage is slow. At this time, you will consider that it may be caused by broadband itself, such as using mobile broadband.

But in addition to broadband itself, network delay and packet loss, you can also turn off the optical fiber cat once every 7 to 15 days and restart the wireless router, which can clean up the data cache generated during the connection process. Insufficient cache space will cause the wireless router network to slow down or even get stuck.
