I'm new to DD-WRT and any type of routing really.
When doing a tracert on Windows 11 it looks like this.
Code:
C:\Windows\System32>tracert 9.9.9.9
Tracing route to dns9.quad9.net [9.9.9.9]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms (Home Router)
2 * * * Request timed out.
3 9 ms 9 ms 8 ms
4 19 ms 18 ms 18 ms
5 * 102 ms *
6 27 ms 26 ms 25 ms
7 25 ms 25 ms 25 ms
8 24 ms 33 ms 24 ms
9 24 ms 24 ms 23 ms dns9.quad9.net [9.9.9.9]
Trace complete.
I'm not sure if this is do to me messing something up in the config for DD-WRT, hardware or my ISP? How would one figure that out?
The second trace is supposed to always time out like that? It just never used to do that on my Asus router, while it's doing it on everything now Google.com, every DNS etc etc. So thought i messed something up.
The second trace is your ISP's router that is not responding.
So the modem my ISP gave me that my 4300 is connected to is messed up most likely or my MX4300 isn't communicating with it properly?
If i plug my PC directly into my ISP Modem. My first trace times out instead of the second. So it's most likely the modem my ISP gave me and i should ask for a new one?
