Diagnostics

Use the Diagnostics screen to perform various diagnostics. For normal operation, these tests
are not required.

To run the diagnostics:
Select ADVANCED > Administration > Diagnostics to display the following screen:
Ping an IP address. Use this test to send a ping packet request to the specified IP address.
This procedure is often used to test a connection. If the request times out because no reply is
received, this result usually means that the destination is unreachable. However, some
network devices can be configured not to respond to a ping.
Perform a DNS Lookup. A DNS (Domain Name Server) converts the Internet name (for
example, 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 displays the internal routing table. This
information gets used by technical support and other staff who understand routing tables.
