How many lights should be on on the router?

Light indicators are LEDs, usually located on the front of the router. They are designed to indicate the operating status of the modem. With their help, it is easy to identify and eliminate any problem that may arise.

Reference! Depending on the Wi-Fi router model, the number of indicators may vary, but most often there are 8 or 9.

LEDs have three states:

• flashing;
• continuous glow;
• Out of Service.

In some modems they can even change color.

Let's look in detail at what each light bulb is responsible for and what each state means.

What kind of light bulbs are there on the router?

The router has six main light signals.

1. Power.
2. SYS.
3. WLAN.
4. WAN.
5. WPS.
6. LAN (there are several of them).

Let's understand the purpose of each.

Power

This light indicates that your router's power supply is working properly.

Important! As long as the LED gives a signal, power is supplied. The indicator does not function - you need to check the power cord connection.

It often happens that wires become unusable. And if your modem is connected correctly, but does not work, then try replacing the wire. And only then go to the service center.

SYS

This is an LED that provides information about failures and errors in the operation of the router..

• The LED is on - the router is turning on or a failure has occurred.
• Off - an error has occurred.
• Flashing - the router is functioning perfectly.

To resolve such problems, you should contact a specialist.

WLAN

Informs about the distribution of Wi-Fi network.

• The LED is not active - the router is not distributing the network.
• On—The wireless network is functioning, but there are no active connections at the moment.
• Blinking of the indexer means successful connection and exchange of information with the user devices.

Reference. You can set up a WLAN connection using a regular browser. Your provider will tell you how to do this via their hotline.

WAN

Internet connection indicator.

• The LED is not active - there is no connection to the network, or the Internet cable is faulty.
• The LED lights up continuously - the cable is connected correctly, the connection is established.
• Constant flashing indicates continuous communication.

If there is an error with your Internet connection, you should check the integrity of the cable and also contact your provider.

WPS

Indicator of the same connection.

• Slow flashing indicates connection progress.
• Fast blinking - connection error.
• Off—the function is inactive.

LAN ports

• Flashing indicates successful connection.
• The lights do not light up - nothing is inserted into the port.
• Lights up—the device is not currently functioning.

Important! If the indicator does not see the wire, try inserting it into a different port. If the device works, but the diode is lit, check the cable and device. There may be a problem with it.

What lights should light up when the router is running?

For proper operation of the modem The following indexers must be lit continuously:

• power And WAN;
• and the SYS indicator flashes.

For successful operation of devices connected to the router via cable, the indicators of all used LAN ports must blink if the device is connected and functioning. Or light up if the device is not currently working.

Don't be alarmed if something doesn't burn the way it should.Most often, failures can be resolved on your own.
