Perform a DNS Lookup
A DNS (Domain Name Server) converts the Internet name (e.g. www.netgear.com) to an IP
address. If you need the IP address of a Web, FTP, Mail or other Server on the Internet, you can do
a DNS lookup to find the IP address.
Display the Routing Table
This operation will display the internal routing table. This information is used by Technical
Support and other staff who understand Routing Tables.
Reboot the Router
Use this button to perform a remote reboot (restart). You can use this if the Router seems to have
become unstable or is not operating normally.
Note: Rebooting will break any existing connections either to the router or through the
router. However, connections to the Internet will automatically be re-established
when possible.
