Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1000 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. Note: 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. Chapter 4: Managing Your Network | 57
