Diagnostics

Use the Diagnostics screen to perform various diagnostics. For normal operation, these tests
are not required.
To run the diagnostics:
Select ADVANCED > Administration > Diagnostics to display the following screen:
Ping an IP address. Use this test to send a ping packet request to the specified IP address.
This procedure is often used to test a connection. If the request times out because no reply is
received, this result usually means the destination is unreachable. However, some network
devices can be configured not to respond to a ping.
Perform a DNS Lookup. A DNS (Domain Name Server) converts the Internet name (for
example, www.netgear.com) to an IP address. If you need the IP address of a web, FTP, mail
or other server on the Internet, you can do a DNS lookup to find the IP address.
Display the Routing Table. This operation displays the internal routing table. This
information is used by technical support and other staff who understand routing tables.
Reboot the Router. Use this button to perform a remote reboot (restart). You can use this if
the router seems to have become unstable or is not operating normally.
