• Diagnostic Tool
- Select one diagnostic tool.
• Ping
- This diagnostic tool troubleshoots connectivity, reachability, and name
resolution to a given host or gateway.
• Tracerouter
- This diagnostic tool tests the performance of a connection.
Note:
You can use ping/traceroute to test both numeric IP address or domain name. If pinging/tracerouting the IP address is
successful, but pinging/tracerouting the domain name is not, you might have a name resolution problem. In this case,
ensure that the domain name you are specifying can be resolved by using Domain Name System (DNS) queries.
• IP Address/Domain Name
- Enter the destination IP address (such as 192.168.0.254)
or Domain name (such as www.tp-link.com).
• Pings Count
- The number of Ping packets for a Ping connection.
• Ping Packet Size
- The size of Ping packet.
• Ping Timeout
- Set the waiting time for the reply of each Ping packet. If there is no
reply in the specified time, the connection is overtime.
• Traceroute Max TTL
- The max number of hops for a Traceroute connection.
