4.15.5 Ping Watch Dog
4.15.6 Speed test
Go to System Tools > Ping Watch Dog in order to constantly monitor a particular connection to
a remote host using the Ping tool. It makes this device continuously ping a user defined IP
address (it can be the internet gateway, for example). If it is unable to ping under the user-defined
constraints, this device will automatically reboot.
Go to Wireless > Speed in order to test the connection speed to and from any reachable IP
address of the existing network, especially when establishing a wireless link between devices
which are far away from each other. It should be used for the preliminary throughput reading
between two network devices. This reading is a rough estimate. You can input the remote
device’s administrator Username and Password to get a precise reading, provided the remote
device do support the Speed Test Utility of our AP.
Make sure to click the Save button to make your settings changes effective.
