Diagnostics
You can perform various diagnostics. For normal operation, these tests ar\
e not required.
To perform diagnostic tests:
1.  Select  Advanced > 
 Administration > Diagnostics  to display the following screen:
2. Perform the following diagnostics as needed:
• Ping an IP address or Host Name . Use this test to send a ping packet request to the 
specified IP address or host name. 
 This test is often used to test a connection. If the 
request times out (in other words, no reply is received), this result \
usually means the 
destination is unreachable. Note, however, that 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, do a DNS lookup to find the IP \
address.
• Display the Routing T
 able. This operation displays the internal routing table.  
						

							Administration

•Reboot the Router. Click this button to perform a remote restart of the router. Use 
this operation if the router seems to have become unstable or is not operating 
normally.
Note:Rebooting will break any existing connections either to the router 
(such as this one) or through the router (for example, LAN users 
accessing the Internet). However, connections to the Internet are 
automatically reestablished when possible.
