Additional tips for improving WIFI speed: 1. For cable modems specifically, pull the wire out for 30 seconds - some "provided" cable modems don't actually reboot when you hit the "power" switch they just block data. 2. For older routers consider replacing the factory firmware with something like OpenWRT. 3. Don't rely on WIFI bridging instead, run a network cable, between your main router and any additional routers in your setup - note: you should also enable spanning tree protocol on all routers before doing this. 4. If you have multiple WIFI "routers" check which ports are used you should only use the "WAN" port on your main router (the one connected to the cable modem) all the routers should be connected together via the LAN ports - you will need to ensure only your main router is running DHCP

Another reboot option is what I do. I have it on a power strip. Flip the rocker switch at it likes the modem, router, and network storage drive all at once. Turn it on and the modem usually takes the longest but tyre other devices will go ahead and contact to the network devices. The router will wait patiently for the modem to finally finish and then connect thus bringing everything back online.

Not trying to be critical, just trying to offer a little helpful grammatical advice. Please don’t be offended. Thanks!

Not sure what the situation is like where you are, but my internet provider will cap the line speed if they detect the router being switched off at regular intervals. They interpret it has the router losing connectivity for one reason or another, so cap it at a lower speed to see if it makes the connection stable, not knowing that it is being manually restarted.
