Running Diagnostic Utilities and Rebooting the Router

The router has a diagnostics feature. You can use the Diagnostics screen to perform the

following functions from the router:

• Ping an IP address to test connectivity to see if you can reach a remote host. If Ping VPN

is enabled, the ping packet always goes through the VPN if the VPN tunnel is enabled

and working.

• 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, under Maintenance, select

Diagnostics.

• Ping. Ping an IP address.

• Lookup. A Domain Name Server (DNS)

converts the Internet name such as

www.netgear.com to an IP address. If you need

the IP address of a server on the Internet, you

can do a DNS lookup to find the IP address.

• Display. View the internal routing table.

Typically, this information is used only by

Technical Support.

• Reboot. Shut down and restart the router.

If you reboot the router you will lose your

connection. To access the router you will need to

• Save. Save diagnostic information.
