The DG834 ADSL router has a diagnostics feature. You can use the diagnostics menu to perform
the following functions from the router:
• Ping an IP Address to test connectivity to see if you can reach a remote host.
• 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.
From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under the Maintenance heading, select the Router
Diagnostics heading to display the menu shown in Figure 5-9.
