The port connection and indicator light status interpretation of China Unicom routers are key steps to ensure the normal operation of the network. The following will introduce how to connect router ports and how to interpret indicator light status. 1、 Unicom router port connection
1. Identify port type WAN port: used to connect to external networks, such as broadband modem or fiber to the home cable. Usually, the color or identification is different from other LAN ports to distinguish them. LAN port: used to connect internal network devices such as computers, printers, smart TVs, etc.
2. Connection steps for fiber optic broadband connection: Use an Ethernet cable to connect the LAN port of the optical modem to the WAN port of the router. Ensure that the network cable is securely connected and not loose. Community broadband connection: Connect the broadband network cable (or wall network port) entering the household to the WAN port of the router. Then, use another Ethernet cable to connect the computer to the LAN port of the router.
3. Before connecting the power to the plug port, ensure that the router is powered on and in normal working condition. 2、 Interpretation of indicator light status
1 When the router is powered on, the PWR indicator light remains on and does not flash normally.
2 The SYS indicator light informs users of the device's operating status through different flashing states. If the device malfunctions or is restarting, the flashing status of this indicator light will be different from usual.
3 The WLAN indicator light will start flashing when a wireless network card is connected to the router.
4 When there is data traffic passing through the WAN port, the WAN indicator light will flash. If the external network is disconnected, the indicator light will flash, turn off, or change color uniformly.
5 The LAN indicator light corresponds to the LAN port of the router. When a device is connected to the LAN port for data exchange, the corresponding LAN indicator light will flash. The more frequent the data exchange, the more the indicator light flashes.
6. If the WiFi device is connected through the WPS encrypted channel of the router, other indicator lights (such as the WPS wireless encryption connection indicator light of the TP-LINK router) will flash when there is data exchange. When the WPS function is not turned on, this light does not turn on. 3、 Precautions
1. Avoid mixing: The WAN port and LAN port have different functions, so do not mix them, otherwise it will cause network disconnection.
2. Check indicator lights: After connection, observe the status of the router indicator lights and confirm that all ports are connected properly.
3. Ensure network cable quality: Use high-quality network cables for connection to ensure the stability and transmission speed of network signals.
By following the above steps and precautions, you can easily complete the port connection of the China Unicom router and interpret the status of the indicator lights. If you encounter any problems during use, it is recommended to refer to the router's user manual or contact China Unicom customer service for consultation.
