Ping Watch Dog

The Ping Watch Dog is dedicated for continuous monitoring of the particular connection
to remote host using the Ping tool. It makes the router continuously ping a user defined
IP address (it can be the Internet gateway for example). If it is unable to ping under the
user defined constraints, the router will automatically reboot.
1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the username and password you set for the router.
2. Go to System Tools
• Enable - Turn on/off Ping Watch Dog.
• IP Address - The IP address of the target host where the Ping Watch Dog Utility is
sending ping packets.
• Interval - Time interval between two ping packets which are sent out continuously.
• Delay - Time delay before first ping packet is sent out when the router is restarted.
• Fail Count - Upper limit of the ping packets the router can drop continuously. If this
value is overrun, the router will restart automatically.
