Above.
As mentioned in my topic last night, I've had streaming and general Internet problems most of last week, my Brother's suggested "Power cycling" my Router but I don't know how to do it.
Can anyone help? The staff in my place don't "do" technology.

A normal reboot just involves the equipment restarting without disconnecting the power. A power cycle is a full restart by turning the power off and back on again. Usually best to give it a couple of minutes between turning off and turning on again.
