Method 1: Ping utility
Starting with system utilities that are suitable for checking the stability of the Internet connection. The most popular solution is called Ping, and it will take all a few more to use:
- Open the "Start" and find the "Command Line" there. It is not necessary to run it on behalf of the administrator, since Ping is accessible even to the user with ordinary rights.
- Enter Ping Google.com and click the Enter key to start the analysis. Google.com domain can be replaced by any other or in general to write an IP address to check.
- Expect the exchange of packages with the specified server, viewing ping.
- At the end, you will receive an appropriate notification of how many packages were sent, received and lost. At the bottom will also display statistics on response time. Than all the values are closer to each other, for example, the minimum - 3, and the maximum - 5, the more stable network.
- Enter Ping /? Auxiliary arguments will be displayed on the screen. They can be used to apply special network verification settings.
If all or some packets have been lost and the delay values differ significantly, it means that the network functions unstable, for example, the Wi-Fi source is too far, the LAN cable has damage or problems on the lines of the provider itself have damage.
Method 2: TRACERT utility
Another system utility called Tracert is designed to perform trace, that is, it shows, at what speed is the request from the computer to the router. Apply this command should be in those situations where the main goal is to determine the stability of the connection of the router with a computer and understand whether the problems of the wireless network or LAN occur.
- To perform this method, again you will have to run the "command line". Enter Tracert Google.com and press ENTER. In the same principle, as it was with the previous utility, any domain or IP address can be used for tracing.
- A route trace process will begin, which may take a certain time. Do not close the console until the end of the check.
- In the process you can immediately view, with some delay routing.
- Next, a notification will appear on the screen indicating the successful end of the verification.
- TRACERT /? Learn about additional arguments available for use during routing.
Results can be compared with the same Ping utility. The smaller the scatter in the delay and the smaller it is less, the more stable connection. If the packages did not go at all, therefore, the connection is broken and need to look for a solution by checking the router for performance.

Method 3: Router Web Interface
In most web interfaces, routers from different manufacturers can be diagnosed with the Internet, using approximately the same absorption and trace utilities. To begin with, perform authorization in the Internet center, the more detailed read further.

After that, it remains only a few simple manipulations. We propose to disassemble this on the example of the TP-LINK model, but you can only navigate in the existing web interface and make similar actions.
- Through the left menus, go to the "System Tools" section.
- There you are interested in the section "Diagnostics".
- Mark the test marker you want to produce. As it is already clear, it can be a plugging or tracing, as well as set an IP address or a site domain to check.
- Check out the results obtained and analyze them as it was said in the ways above.
Method 4: Internet Speed Test on Lumpics
This option is sometimes appropriate, because it will show the delay time and how the speed of the network has changed during the entire analysis, so that the stability of the connection can also be traced.
- In the header of our site, the "Internet services" section.
- In the "Our Services" block, select "Internet speed test."
- Run the check by clicking "Forward".
- Expect the completion of the check, follow the ping surges and changes in speed.
Method 5: Ping-SanbeuseFul online service
Finally, we suggest familiarizing yourself with the Ping-CanbeuseFul online service, the functionality of which is focused solely on the ping show during the entire network analysis. To use it, follow these actions:
Go to online service Ping-Sanbeuseful
- Click the link above to go to the Ping-SanbeuseFul online service, where you can immediately click "Start".
- The check time is unlimited, so you can track stability throughout the required amount of time, and then click on "Stop" to complete. According to the schedule it will be easy to understand where the indicators are at an acceptable level, and when they change.
- Additionally, the minimum, average and maximum indicators are displayed on the left, which can also be used for their own purposes.
