Ping!
Ping is a very useful tool to check network connectivity. Making sure that your PC is physically
plugged into your Router is NOT sufficient! They must also be connected in the networking
sense: their IP settings must be correct. To check if your PC is connected to the Router, you can
perform a Ping to the Router’s IP Address (Usually 192.168.1.20).
When you perform a ping, your PC sends a message to the destination.
If the destination exists, it would receive the message and send a reply back to
you automatically.
If the destination cannot be reached, your PC informs you of the network error.
