ping 192.168.0.1
Had something like this in a mock, just need to ping the default gateway to check router reachability.

Pretty sure that's it. Sometimes people pick hostname or DNS but for reachability the gateway IP avoids that trap.

ping 192.168.0.1
That’s the default gateway shown in ipconfig, so it checks if you can talk to the router directly. Not 100% if another IP could work but this is standard for most troubleshooting.

Do you have to use the actual IP (192.168.0.1) from the ipconfig output or could you try pinging just 'router' if it's in DNS? I think pinging the default gateway IP is safer, hostname can fail if DNS is down. Anyone else see a reason to pick a different command?
