Diagnostics
You can perform various diagnostics. For normal operation, these tests are not required.
To perform diagnostic tests:
1. Select ADVANCED > Administration > Diagnostics.
2. Do any of the following:
•In the Ping an IP address section, enter the IP address you want to ping, and click
Ping.
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 that the destination is unreachable. However,
some network devices can be configured not to respond to a ping.
•In the Perform a DNS Lookup section, specify the Internet name you want to look up,
and click 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.
•In the Display the Routing Table section, click Display.
This operation displays the internal routing table. Technical support and other staff
who understand routing tables use this information.
•In the Reboot the Router section, click Reboot.
Use this button to perform a remote reboot (restart). You can use this procedure
when the router seems to have become unstable or is not operating normally.
