Perform a DNS Lookup to test if an Internet name resolves to an IP address to verify that the
DNS server configuration is working.
•
Display the Routing Table to identify what other routers the router is communicating with.
•
Reboot the Router to enable new network configurations to take effect or to clear problems
with the router’s network connection.
Rebooting will break any existing connections either to the Router (such as this one) or
