is right. When experiencing network issues, it is always a good idea to disconnect the modem, router, and switches from power. Switching them off or resetting them isn't sufficient.
Then bring the network back on line one device at a time, working inward from the modem. After a few minutes off, boot the modem. Then once the modem is fully communicating with the ISP's CMTS, usually a minute or two, bring the router back online, Then the switches, if any.
I do this on my home network at least once per month. With the coming and going of several cell phones on a daily basis - some of which are used in other wifi networks and college campuses, it's always a good idea to do a reset.
