5.3 Pinging the Router from Your Computer
The default gateway IP address of the router is 192.168.1.1. For some reason, you might need
to use “ping” command to check the link status of the router.
The most important thing is
that the computer will receive a reply from 192.168.1.1.
If not, please check the IP address
of your computer. We suggest you setting the network connection as
get IP automatically
