Display the Routing Table |
This operation will display the internal routing table. This information is used by Technical Support and other staff who understand Routing Tables. |
Reboot the Router |
Use this button to perform a remote reboot (restart). You can use this if the Router seems to have become unstable or is not operating normally.
Note Rebooting will break any existing connections either to the Router (such as this one) or through the Router (for example, LAN users accessing the Internet). However, connections to the Internet will automatically be re-established when possible. |
