The line connecting the Router to the gateway becomes green when the Router is able to ping the 
gateway. It becomes red when the ping initiating from the Router does not get a response from the 
gateway. The same rule applies to the line connecting the gateway to the Internet.

You can also view the devices (represented by icons indicating the kind of network device)
