"Ping-ing" utility

[LLChase36]

My DLink router has stopped working. I've been advised to "Ping" the router.
How do I do this?
Many thanks.

Go to Start > Run, type cmd and click OK.

Now type ping 192.168.1.1 and hit enter. Replace the 192.168.1.1 with the IP address of your router. You can find the router's IP address in the router's manual.

May I know what is the model of your DLink router?
