Do people actually "power cycled" or restart their WiFi router every 10 days?

Think my WiFi company are trying to gaslight me. Never heard this In my life and I'm so tired of not even being able to watch Netflix and paying a small fortune for WiFi.

UK based, just got a new router from same provider and upgraded for better speeds but it's still shit and buffering. Their answer is to power cycle the router every 10 days. Seems like a lot and I've watched a movie at friends and families places who I'm pretty confident are not doing this.

Are they talking nonsense?

Edit: I got a new hub not a router sorry I basically have no idea what I'm talking about. It's a smart hub, fibre broadband is provided by EE.

Dell latitude 5531 i7 12800h in 2026

I'm being offered for 600usd a used Dell Latitude 5531 (i7-12800H) with 16GB of RAM, 1TB of storage, and an NVIDIA GeForce MX550. Is it worth it? How is the battery life? I want it for work, and I travel a lot, so I don't always have access to a power outlet. I appreciate your feedback, friends.
