			The Hitron Coda-4680 has three troubleshooting tools into it, Ping, Traceroute, and Wireless Survey. To access these tools:

			# Open a web browser and enter '''192.168.0.1''' in the address bar, then press Enter/Go.
			# A login screen for the Hitron-CODA-4680 will appear. The default username and password are case-sensitive, and are:

			# Select '''Login'''. The Status Overview screen will display.
			# Click Admin at the top of the page.
			# You're now on the Administration page. Click Diagnostics.

			=== Ping ===
			A '''Ping''' test can be used to test the reach-ability of hosts. It measures the round-trip time for messages sent from the originating host to a destination computer that are echoed back to the source.

			To use the '''Ping''' tool, enter a domain name (like www.google.com) or an IP address in the '''Destination''' text box, then press Ping. The ping test will send four packets to the target destination, providing info on how long each of those packets took to reach their destination. If your connection is working well, you should see 4 replies, though some destinations will not respond to ping.

			=== Traceroute ===
			To use the '''Traceroute''' tool, enter a website address or IP address in the '''Destination''' text box, then press '''Traceroute'''. It should take less than a minute to complete and when complete, it'll generate a report which can be copy-pasted into a text file or email. Each row of the report will have the following: the hop number, the address of the hop, and three entries for the Round Trip Time (RTT).

			=== Wireless Survey ===
			The '''Wireless Survey''' performs a scan of all the available Wi-Fi networks and will generate a report, listing the available networks, along with the Wi-Fi channel they're operating on, and their signal strength. This information can be used to determine which Wi-Fi channel has the least amount of wireless interference.

			To use the '''Wireless Survey''', press the Wireless Survey button. It takes approximately one minute for the survey to be completed, and a report will be generated once done.
