This menu provides a ping function in the graphical interface. Ping lets you send ICMP echo request messages to see if they're returned back. This allows you to test connectivity to another IP address directly from the router.

Address: here, specify the domain name or IP address you wish to ping.

Ping Count: the number of ICMP echo request packets you wish to send to the address.

Packet Size: the size (in bytes) of the extra data portion of each ICMP ping packet to send to the address.

Larger values can be useful for discovering issues with throughput or MTU accepted by the network.
