How to test your Internet connection

What utilities are included in my router to test my Internet connection?
Your router includes two diagnostic tests, Ping and Traceroute, that let you
check network connections, including network devices and your Internet
connection
To diagnose your Internet connection:
Administration > Diagnostics
1. Log into the browser-based utility (see "How to open the browser-based
utility" on page 14)
2. Click the Administration tab, then click the Diagnostics page
3. To check whether an address can be reached, enter an IP address or URL,
a packet size, and number of times to ping in the Ping Test section, then
click Start to Ping
Maintaining and Monitoring
A window opens showing the ping test results You will see a response
for each successful ping
NOTE
If an Internet URL fails to respond to ping, it doesn't necessarily
mean that the site is down For security reasons, some sites are
configured to not respond to ping requests
4. To trace the route that packets take between your router and a specific
address, enter an address in the IP or URL Address field of the Traceroute
Test section, then click Start to Traceroute
