Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1210 User Manual Running Diagnostic Utilities and Rebooting the Router The router has a diagnostics feature. You can use the Diagnostics screen to perform the following functions from the router: • Ping an IP address to test connectivity to see if you can reach a remote host. If Ping VPN is enabled, the ping packet always goes through the VPN if the VPN tunnel is enabled and working. • Perform a DNS lookup to test if an Internet name resolves to an IP address to verify that the DNS server configuration is working. • Display the routing table to identify what other routers the router is communicating with. • Reboot the router to enable new network configurations to take effect or to clear problems with the router's network connection. From the main menu, under Maintenance, select Diagnostics. • Ping. Ping an IP address. • Lookup. A Domain Name Server (DNS) converts the Internet name such as www.netgear.com to an IP address. If you need the IP address of a server on the Internet, you can do a DNS lookup to find the IP address. • Display. View the internal routing table. Typically, this information is used only by Technical Support. • Reboot. Shut down and restart the router. If you reboot the router you will lose your connection. To access the router you will need to log in again after it has finished rebooting. • Save. Save diagnostic information. 56 | Chapter 4. Managing Your Network
