Miscellaneous
The Ping Test menu allows you to ping any IP address from the Router to test connectivity to the
address. To Ping a device, enter the IP address of the device that you wish to ping into the Ping IP
Address field and click Ping to start the Ping mechanism. The results of the ping will be shown under
the Ping Result heading. The Miscellaneous Configuration menu also allows you to enable IGMP
forwarding. This is Disabled by default. This setting will not allow IGMP (Internet Group
Management Protocol) packets to be forwarded to the LAN. IGMP is used to manage multicasting on
TCP/IP networks, most users will not need to enable this. Some ISPs use IGMP to perform remote
configuration for client devices, such as the Router. If you are unsure, check with your ISP. To enable
IGMP service to the LAN interface, select Enabled and click the Apply button. To force a system
restart click Save and Reboot.
