2. Perform the following diagnostics as needed:

• Pin

g an IP address or Host Name. Use this test to send a ping packet request to the

specified IP address or host name. This test is often used to test a connection. If the

request times out (in other words, no reply is received), this result usually means that

the destination is unreachable. Note, however, that 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, do a DNS lookup to find the IP

address.

• Dis

play the Routing Table. This operation displays the internal routing table.

• Reb

oot the Router. Click this button to perform a remote restart of the router. Use

this operation if the router seems to have become unstable or is not operating

normally.

Note: Rebooting breaks any existing connections either to the router (such

as this one) or through the router (LAN users accessing the

Internet). However, connections to the Internet are automatically

reestablished when possible.
