How can the router be considered normal? Analysis of hot topics on the Internet in the past 10 days
With the popularity of smart homes and remote working, the stability of routers has become the focus of users. Among the hotly debated topics on the Internet recently, router performance, signal coverage, and troubleshooting have frequently been on the list. This article will combine the hotspot data of the past 10 days to analyze the router's normal status standards and provide a structured reference.
1. Statistics on hot topics related to routers on the entire network in the past 10 days

| Ranking | Topic keywords | Discuss the popularity index | main focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Weak WiFi signal | 98,000 | Coverage, wall penetration ability |
| 2 | Router frequently disconnects | 72,000 | Equipment stability and heat dissipation issues |
| 3 | Internet speed is not up to standard | 65,000 | Bandwidth allocation, operator restrictions |
| 4 | What do the router lights mean? | 51,000 | Status diagnosis, fault identification |
| 5 | Mesh networking solution | 43,000 | Large house coverage, seamless switching |
2. Core indicators of normal routers
According to network engineer recommendations and user measured data, normal routers should meet the following standards:
| Test items | normal range | Detection tools | abnormal behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| signal strength | -50dBm to -70dBm | WiFi analyzer | Below -80dBm |
| Delay time | <50ms | Ping test | Lasts >100ms |
| Packet loss rate | <1% | Network diagnostic tools | >5% |
| temperature performance | 40-60℃ | Infrared thermometer | >70℃ |
3. Solutions to hot issues
1.Insufficient signal coverage: It is recommended to solve the problem by adjusting the antenna angle (the vertical direction is best), replacing the high-gain antenna, or using a Mesh networking solution. Among the recently popular new routers, Huawei AX6 and Xiaomi AX9000 performed well in signal tests.
2.Frequent disconnection problem: First check whether the firmware is the latest version (nearly 30% of faults can be solved by upgrading), and secondly check for channel interference (use WiFi Analyzer to select an idle channel).
3.Internet speed is not up to standard: Need to distinguish between wired and wireless test results. When testing through tools such as Speedtest, it is recommended to close the connection of other devices. The wired test should reach more than 90% of the contracted bandwidth to be considered normal.
4. Router status self-check list
| Check items | normal state | Operating Instructions |
|---|---|---|
| Power indicator light | Always on (green/blue) | If it flashes, it needs to be restarted. If it doesn’t light up, check the power supply. |
| WAN port status | Stable connection | Re-plug and unplug the network cable to test |
| wireless signal light | Always on when working | Factory settings can be restored in case of abnormality |
| CPU usage | <70% | If it is too high, you need to limit the number of connected devices. |
5. Purchasing Suggestions and Maintenance Tips
According to recent e-commerce platform sales data and evaluation reports, router models worthy of attention in the second quarter of 2023 include:
1.entry level: TP-Link AX3000 (the first choice for cost-effectiveness)
2.Mid-range: ASUS RT-AX86U (outstanding game optimization)
3.high-end: Lingshi MX5503 (Mesh system benchmark)
It is recommended that routine maintenance be performed once a month: clean the dust from the cooling holes, restart the device, and check for firmware updates. In special periods (such as high temperatures in summer), a heat dissipation base can be added to avoid performance degradation.
It can be seen from the above structured data analysis that a normal router should achieve three core functions: stable connection, reasonable coverage and expected network speed. When a problem occurs, it is recommended to check it step by step in the order of "indicator status → wired test → wireless test → device load", and contact the operator or equipment manufacturer for professional support if necessary.
