Troubleshooting - Network Tests Page

The Troubleshooting – Network Tests page provides the Traceroute and Ping tools, which help diagnose

problems with the 2Wire gateway or 2Wire gateway connections.

The Ping test allows you to ensure that the 2Wire gateway can send data packets to (ping) a remote host or

a local LAN device (such as a PC). The Traceroute test traces the number of times a data packet sent from

the 2Wire gateway is routed before it reaches its destination.
