resetting my router

[mwemt]

My internet provider (Spectrum) tells me I need to periodically reset my Router for optimal function.  How do I do that simply and exactly. thx

[plemans]

You could just reboot it. (power off, power on)

But I've got plenty of routers and never needed to "periodically reboot them". 

What actual router do you have? 

what modem/gateway is it connected to? 

Why is spectrum telling you this? Were you having an issue?

First find out why they suggest that. As @plemans says, you shouldn't have to do that.

Do you have a problem that needs fixing? ISPs rarely know what they are talking about and often suggest "solutions" that make no sense.
