Honestly, just tell her to unplug it, go make coffee or something (say it needs to “cool off” or whatever), and plug it back in. Letting the capacitors discharge is usually enough to fix 90% of problems, which is why phone techs tell you to turn it off, check some BS cables for about 30 seconds or so, and then turn it back on. It’s not about the cables, it’s about the capacitors.
My router takes forever to discharge. I was trying to unplug the Christmas lights earlier this month and I unplugged the router by mistake it must have been a good 30 seconds before I plugged it back in again and it was still on.
I don’t know if that’s supposed to be a feature, or if it’s just got some really out of specs electronics inside.
It’s just some cheap router that you get from your ISP I don’t know why it’s like that.
