I don't think I've ever had a problem with my router in my 20+ years of internet usage that wasn't fixed by 90% of the time restarting it by pulling the plug or 10% calling the ISP to let them know shit's not working.

Having worked a bit in tech support and heard some horror stories from others; it seems like the average consumer doesn't know how to restart a router, nor would they like to do it themselves.
