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.

5. 7. 2. Ping Watch Dog

The Ping Watch Dog is dedicated for continuous monitoring of the particular connection
to remote host using the Ping tool. It makes the router continuously ping a user defined
IP address (it can be the internet gateway for example). If it is unable to ping under the
user defined constraints, the router will automatically reboot.
