Tools - Misc
Other functions available in the Miscellaneous Configuration menu are a Ping test and
IGMP enable/disable.
Ping Test
The Ping test functions on the WAN and LAN interfaces. Type the IP address you want
to check in the space provided and click the Ping button. Read the Ping test result in
the space immediately below.
IGMP
This is Disabled by default. This setting will not allow IGMP (Internet Group Management
Protocol) packets to be forwarded to the LAN. IGMP is used to manage multicasting on
TCP/IP networks, most users will not need to enable this. Some ISPs use IGMP to
perform remote configuration for client devices, such as the Router. If you are unsure,
check with your ISP. To enable IGMP service to the LAN interface, select Enabled and
click the Apply button.
Save Router Configuration Settings
When you have completed configuration of the Router, make sure you save the current
configuration settings to flash memory or risk losing the settings. To save the current
configuration settings, click the Misc. menu button to view the Miscellaneous
Configuration menu and click the Reboot button. The current settings will be saved to
NV-RAM and the system will restart. Do not turn off the Router during this process. It
should take about two minutes to complete. After restarting, it is a good idea to backup
the Router configuration file to your computer. See the instructions below to save
configuration files to your PC.
UPnP
Enable or Disable UPnP (Universal Plug and Play).
