Unplugging and plugging in wifi router

[stevenguo360]

I have this Arris router from Spectrum internet. It is a modem/router combination. I just want to know if unplugging the power from the router or the power plug would damage it? I'm not sure about this kind of stuff because I thought moving it to my room would make it work, but it isn't. So I moved it back, and I, being the clutch that I am, accidentally switched it off again. It's been off and on for about 3-4 times now, I haven't been like purposely trying to break it, and I'm concerned. The wifi on and offs weren't like one after the other, more like 1-3 minute intervals.

It won’t damage it at all most people cycle power on them like that all the time

As above, it is often necessary to reset a router. That is essentially what you would be doing.
