13. 2. Test the Network Connectivity
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 the username and password you set for the
router.
2. Go to Advanced > System Tools > Diagnostics.
3. Enter the information with the help of page tips:
1 ) Choose ping or traceroute 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.
• traceroute 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 Target IP Address/Domain Name of the tested host.
4. Click Start to begin the diagnostics.
Tips:
Click Advanced, you can modify the ping count, ping packet size, test timeout time, or max hop. It’s recommended
to keep the default value.
