5.9.4 Ping Watch Dog
Selecting System Tools > Ping Watch Dog allows you to continuously monitor the particular
connection between the device to a remote host. 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.
Figure 5-28 Ping Watch Dog Utility

¾ IP Address - The IP address of the target host where the Ping Watch Dog Utility is sending
ping packets.
¾ Interval - Time internal between two ping packets which are sent out continuously.
¾ Delay - Time delay before first ping packet is sent out when the device is restarted.
¾ Fail Count - Upper limit of the ping packet the device can drop continuously. If this value is
overrun, the device will restart automatically.

5.9.5 Speed Test
Selecting System > Speed Test allows you to test the connection speed to and from any
reachable IP address on current network on the page as shown in Figure 5-29. The speed test is
especially used when you are building wireless network between devices which are far away from
each other. It should be used for the preliminary throughput estimation between two network
devices. The estimation is rough. You can input the remote device's administrator Username and
Password under Advance options to get a precise estimation if the remote device is
TL-WA5110G too.
