How to test your Internet connection
What utilities are included in my router to test my Internet connection?
Your router includes two diagnostic tests, Ping and Traceroute, that let you
check network connections, including network devices and your Internet
connection°
To diagnose your Internet connection:
Administration > Diagnostics
1.
Log into the browser-based utility (see “How to open the browser-based
utility” on page 22)°
2.
Click the
Administration
tab, then click the
Diagnostics
page°
3.
To check whether an address can be reached, enter an IP address or URL,
a packet size, and number of times to ping in the
Ping Test
section, then
click
Start to Ping
°
A window opens showing the ping test results° You will see a response
for each successful ping°
NOTE
If an Internet URL fails to respond to ping, it doesn’t necessarily
mean that the site is down° For security reasons, some sites are
configured to not respond to ping requests°
4.
To trace the route that packets take between your router and a specific
address, enter an address in the
IP
or
URL Address
field of the
Traceroute
Test
section, then click
Start to Traceroute
