Hi all,
Under System Management; Dual-Wan you can set a DNS Lookup Host to ping....
 
my questions is...
 
should the DNS name be www.google.com or google.com
 
many thanks
Jake

Using the ping command does not require the www. in front of the URL though it will work with it as well.  Both options will work.

So the Linksys DNS Looup Host works in the same way as command pinging, I was hoping this was the case so that I would have the choice.
 
Also, have you noticed how "google.com" has a slower response than www.google.com, I wonder if that's because it takes a little longer to resolve without the www.
Response time pinging "google.com" 125ms , also request timeout
Response time pinging www.google.com 42ms
 
Many thanks for the answer.
Kudos!
