Diagnostics is used to test the connectivity between the router and the host or other
network devices.
1. Visit
http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for
the router.
2. Go to
Advanced > System > Diagnostics.
3. Enter the information:
1 ) Choose
Ping or Tracert as the diagnostic tool to test the connectivity;
•
Ping is used to test the connectivity between the router and the tested host,
and measure the round-trip time.
•
Tracert is used to display the route (path) your router has passed to reach the
tested host, and measure transit delays of packets across an Internet Protocol
network.
2 ) Enter the
IP Address or Domain Name of the tested host.
3 ) Modify the
Ping Packet Number and the Ping Packet Size. It’s recommended to
keep the default value.
4 ) If you have chosen
Tracert, you can modify the Traceroute Max TTL. It’s
recommended to keep the default value.
4. Click
START to begin the diagnostics.
