4.3.1 Ping Test
Once you have your Wireless ADSL Router configured, it is a good idea to make sure you can
ping the network. You can get to the Ping page by clicking on the “here” hyperlink in Diagnostic
Page. Type the target address that you want to ping. If you have your PC connected to the
Wireless ADSL Router via the default DHCP configuration, you should be able to Ping the
network address 192.168.1.1. If your ISP has provided their server address you can try to ping
the address. If the pings for both the WAN and the LAN side complete, and you have the proper
protocols configured, you should be able to surf the Internet.
By default when you select ping test, the Wireless ADSL Router will ping itself 3 times. As shown
in Figure 3.3, the Wireless ADSL Router passed the Ping test; this basically means that the
TCP/IP protocol is up and running. If this first Ping test does not pass, the TCP/IP protocol is not
loaded for some reason; you should restart the Wireless ADSL Router.
