    Check the physical connection - A loose cable or cord can often be the cause of a connection problem. Make sure everything is securely connected to the wall and device. 3. Reboot your modem/router - Sometimes the old "turn it off and on again" approach actually does work! Just wait about five minutes before turning it back on to make sure ...

  3. Default gateway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_gateway

    The IP-address could be 91.198.174.2. In this example, none of the internal routers know the route to that host, so they will forward the packet through router1's gateway or default route. [1] Every router on the packet's way to the destination will check whether the packet's destination IP-address matches any known network routes. If a router ...

  4. ICMP Router Discovery Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICMP_Router_Discovery_Protocol

    The ICMP Router Advertisement message is sent by a router on the local area network to announce its IP address as available for routing. When a host boots up, it sends solicitation messages to IP multicast address 224.0.0.2. [4] In response, one or more routers may send advertisement messages.

  5. Network address translation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation

    The IP address of a public server is also important, similar in global uniqueness to a postal address or telephone number. Both IP address and port number must be correctly known by all hosts wishing to successfully communicate. Private IP addresses as described in RFC 1918 are usable only on private networks not directly connected to the internet.

  6. Open Shortest Path First - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Shortest_Path_First

    NOTE: a RID is the highest logical (loopback) IP address configured on a router, if no logical/loopback IP address is set then the router uses the highest IP address configured on its active interfaces (e.g. 192.168.0.1 would be higher than 10.1.1.2). Usually the router with the second-highest priority number becomes the BDR.

  7. Explicit Congestion Notification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explicit_Congestion...

    In TCP/IP, routers operate within the Internet layer, while the transmission rate is handled by the endpoints at the transport layer. Congestion may be handled only by the transmitter, but since it is known to have happened only after a packet was sent, there must be an echo of the congestion indication by the receiver to the transmitter.

  8. Neighbor Discovery Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighbor_Discovery_Protocol

    The Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP), or simply Neighbor Discovery (ND), is a protocol of the Internet protocol suite used with Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6). [1]: §1 It operates at the internet layer of the Internet model, [2] and is responsible for gathering various information required for network communication, including the configuration of local connections and the domain name ...

  9. IP routing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_routing

    The IP forwarding algorithm is a specific implementation of routing for IP networks. In order to achieve a successful transfer of data, the algorithm uses a routing table to select a next-hop router as the next destination for a datagram. The IP address of the selected router is known as the next-hop address. [1] The IP forwarding algorithm ...
