Ping Command
Ping! If you listen intently, you may hear the ping command in
action. A ping network test sends data packets to a specified IP
address, confirming or denying connection between IP-
networked devices.
In the event of confirmation, a ping test will reveal the "latency"
(i.e., the duration of the response time). A decreased latency
delivers a better experience, since even milliseconds might
count in circumstances when a quick reaction is required, such
as online gaming.
Command 1

ipConfig Command
Your IP address may be found in the Control Panel, but it takes a
few clicks to get there. The ipconfig command returns your

the ip of its access point if you want to find the Ip address of
your router's web interface.
To use the command, open the Command Prompt and type
ipconfig. You'll get a list of all the network connections that are
active on your computer. If you're using Wi-Fi, look for "Wireless
LAN adapter" or "Ethernet adapter" if you're using a wired
network. You may get more additional information by using the
