image of router with corresponding parts and its function

Here are the common parts of a typical router and their functions: 1. Power Port/Jack: This is where the power adapter connects to supply electricity to the router. 2. Power Button: Used to turn the router on or off. 3. WAN/Internet Port: This port (often labeled "Internet" or "WAN" and sometimes a different color like blue or yellow) connects the router to your modem, which provides the internet connection from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). 4. LAN/Ethernet Ports: These ports (typically 4, often labeled 1-4) are used to connect wired devices (like computers, gaming consoles, smart TVs, or network printers) to the router using Ethernet cables, providing them with network and internet access. 5. Antennas: These are responsible for transmitting and receiving wireless (Wi-Fi) signals, allowing devices to connect to the network wirelessly. Some routers have internal antennas. 6. Reset Button: A small, often recessed button (requiring a paperclip or pin to press) that, when held down for a few seconds, restores the router to its factory default settings. 7. USB Port(s): Found on some routers, these ports can be used to connect external storage devices (like USB hard drives for network sharing), printers (to make them network printers), or 3G/4G dongles for backup internet. 8. LED Indicators: Small lights on the front or top of the router that show the status of various functions, such as: Power: Router is on. Internet/WAN: Indicates an active internet connection. Wi-Fi: Indicates the wireless network is active. LAN: Shows activity on the wired LAN ports. 9. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) Button: Allows for easy and secure connection of Wi-Fi devices to the network without manually entering the password.
