Ping is used to test the connectivity between the router and the tested host, and measure the round-trip time.

Traceroute is used to display the route (path) your router has passed to reach the tested host, and measure transit delays of packets across an Internet Protocol network.

2) Enter the IP Address or Domain Name of the tested host.

4. Click Start to begin the diagnostics.

Tips:

Click Advanced, you can modify the ping count, ping packet size or the Traceroute Max TTL. It’s recommended to keep the default value.
