Congure the Router as a Repeater
6. 6. 3. Diagnostic
Diagnostic 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 System Tools > Diagnostic.
• Diagnostic Tool - Select one diagnostic tool.
• Ping - This diagnostic tool troubleshoots connectivity, reachability, and name
resolution to a given host or gateway.
• 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.
