Chapter 4 Congure the Router in Wireless Router Mode

• Tracerouter - This diagnostic tool tests the performance of a connection.

Note:

You can use ping/traceroute to test both numeric IP address or domain name. If pinging/tracerouting the IP address is

successful, but pinging/tracerouting the domain name is not, you might have a name resolution problem. In this case,

ensure that the domain name you are specifying can be resolved by using Domain Name System (DNS) queries.

• IP Address/Domain Name - Enter the destination IP address (such as 192.168.0.1) or

Domain name (such as www.tp-link.com).

• Pings Count - The number of Ping packets for a Ping connection.

• Ping Packet Size - The size of Ping packet.

• Ping Timeout - Set the waiting time for the reply of each Ping packet. If there is no

reply in the specified time, the connection is overtime.

• Traceroute Max TTL - The max number of hops for a Traceroute connection.

3. Click Start to check the connectivity of the internet.

4. The Diagnostic Results page displays the diagnosis result. If the result is similar to

the following figure, the connectivity of the internet is fine.

Note:

Only one user can use this tool at one time. Options “Ping Count”, “Ping Packet Size” and “Ping Timeout” are used for the

Ping function. Option “Traceroute Max TTL” is used for the Tracert function.
