Test the LAN Path to Your Gateway

You can ping the gateway from your computer to verify that the LAN path to your gateway is
set up correctly.

To ping the gateway from a computer running Windows:
1. From the Windows toolbar, click the Start button and select Run.
2. In the field provided, type ping followed by the IP address of the gateway, as in this
example:
ping www.routerlogin.net
3. Click the OK button.
A message similar to the following displays:
Pinging <IP address > with 32 bytes of data
If the path is working, you see this message:
Reply from < IP address >: bytes=32 time=NN ms TTL=xxx
If the path is not working, you see this message:
Request timed out
If the path is not functioning correctly, you might have one of the following problems:
• Wrong physical connections
For a wired connection, make sure that the numbered Ethernet port LED is lit for the port
to which you are connected.
Check that the appropriate LEDs are on for your network devices. If your gateway and
computer are connected to a separate Ethernet switch, make sure that the link LEDs are
lit for the switch ports that are connected to your computer and gateway.
• Wrong network configuration
Verify that the Ethernet card driver software and TCP/IP software are both installed and
configured on your computer.
Verify that the IP address for your gateway and your computer are correct and that the
addresses are on the same subnet.

device.
