Router User’s Guide Monitoring Network Health
Diagnostics
The Router provides a considerable amount of diagnostic functionality for testing connectivity on both the
Local Area Network (LAN) and the Wide Area Network (WAN). This includes LAN-side connections within
the home and WAN-side connections to the carrier, service provider and Internet. WAN-side testing may
be performed for each of the WAN-side connections currently configured. This data is commonly
requested by technical support to assist in troubleshooting.
Note: This option may not be available on your Router configuration.

window.
