Discovered that restarting my router at 2am fixed my internet issues

I was finishing a big quote for a client at 11pm and my WiFi kept dropping every 15 minutes. I was in my home office, sweating because the deadline was midnight. I unplugged the router, counted to 30, and plugged it back in. It worked perfectly for the last hour I needed to email that PDF. Has anyone else had a late night saved by just turning something off and on again?

Reset it three times last month dealing with the same thing. Its funny how just pulling the plug on something is the fix for half the problems in life - not just routers but like TVs, printers, even my coffee maker one time.

Is it really that serious though? Like a coffee maker glitching once doesn't mean we're living in some chaotic tech dystopia lol. I think people just like blaming appliances for their own bad luck.
