Router keeps rebooting over and over in a loop
A rebooting loop is usually caused by power supply failure, overheating, or a corrupted firmware update. Disconnecting extra devices, moving the router to a cooler spot, and doing a hard reset fixes most cases.
When your router gets stuck in a restart loop, it's trying to boot but something goes wrong — either the power supply can't deliver enough power, the router is overheating, or the firmware crashed. We'll cool it down, remove extra stress, and reset it to try to break the cycle.
- ✓Have a pen or paperclip ready — you'll need to press the reset button
- ✓Disconnect all devices from the router except power (remove ethernet cables, etc.)
- ✓Make sure you can access the router easily so you can press the reset button and power button

Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Not waiting long enough before resetting — the router may stabilize on its own after 5 minutes if it just overheated
- Reconnecting all devices immediately after reset instead of one at a time to see if a specific device is causing the problem
Signs you need professional help
- If the router still reboots in a loop after factory reset and the power adapter looks fine, the power supply or router hardware has likely failed. Give us a call and we'll discuss replacement options.
