Router Testing?

jbrdbr111x · 04-01-2008, 03:23 AM

My ISP keeps dropping out, and I think it's on their end, but just to eliminate any router problems, whats an effective test I can perform on my router to show if there are any problems with it?

well i dont know any tests but the likely hood of a router being bad is very slim. they are usualy very sturdy devices

Well if its randomly dropping, to my knowledge you cant really do much to trouble shoot other then trying another one. If it was completly out I could give you a list of DOS commands to test your network. Try replacing things and see what happens.
