| View management interface | Show normal connection status | Reset network configuration |
3. Fault statistics of popular models
According to recent after-sales data from e-commerce platforms, the following models have a higher frequency of indicator light problems:
| brand | model | Failure rate | Main questions |
|---|---|---|---|
| TP-Link | AX3000 | 8.2% | WAN port indicator light is abnormal |
| Huawei | WS5200 | 6.7% | Power light goes off intermittently |
| Millet | AX6000 | 5.3% | Abnormal light effects after firmware upgrade |
4. Suggestions on preventive measures
1.Regular maintenance:Restart your router at least once a month (can reduce hardware failures by 47%)
2.Thermal management:Keep 10cm of ventilation space around the router
3.Firmware update:Pay attention to the release of security patches from manufacturers (many firmware vulnerabilities have been reported recently)
4.Power protection:It is recommended to use a power strip with lightning protection function
5. Professional maintenance guide
When the basic approach does not work, it is recommended to:
• Check the warranty period (most brands offer 1-3 years warranty)
• Keep proof of purchase (screenshots of e-commerce orders can also be used as proof)
• Give priority to official after-sales channels (third-party repairs may invalidate the warranty)
According to the latest announcement from network service providers, the failure rate of network equipment in some areas has increased by 12% due to recent strong convective weather. It is recommended that users first conduct line detection through the operator's APP when encountering problems.
