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

Log into the browser-based utility (see “How to open the browser-based

utility” on page 14).

Click the Administration tab, then click the Diagnostics page.

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.

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.
