Test your router’s compatibility with Vista

March 29, 2007 at 8:31 am | In Windows Vista |

The Internet Connectivity Evaluation Tool checks your router to see if it supports certain networking technologies, like IPv6 tunnelling over IPv4, and traffic congestion protocols.

My Belkin F1PI241EGau from iiNet scored the following:

  1. Basic Internet Connectivity Test - Supported
  2. Network Address Translator Type - Not Supported
  3. Traffic Congestion Test - Not Supported
  4. TCP High performance Test - Not Supported
  5. UPnP Support Test - Supported
  6. Multiple Simultaneous Connection States Test - Supported

Test #2 failed with the following results:

Sending a Router Solicitation frame with ConeBit off
Waiting for Router Advertisement
Didn’t receive any Router Advertisement frames from the Teredo server

Test #3 failed with the following results:

Trying to load library nsi.dll
ECN is disabled
Turning on ECN for testing
Trying to connect to the test server www.microsoft.com
Successfully connected to the test server
Fetching the webpage /windows/using/tools/igd/StaticContent/igdprobedocs/ecn/test.txt from the test server
Failed to fetch the webpage from the test server

Test #4 failed with the following results:

Trying to load library nsi.dll
The current Auto Tuning Level is set to Normal
Trying to connect to the test server www.microsoft.com
Successfully connected to the test server
Testing with webpage /windows/using/tools/igd/StaticContent/igdprobedocs/ws/test13.txt of size 8192
Fetching the webpage /windows/using/tools/igd/StaticContent/igdprobedocs/ws/test13.txt from the test server
Failed to get the webpage from the test server

Upgrading the firmware from 0.29 to 0.35 didn’t change the results.

  1. Have you played world of warcraft on a machine through your router? You will find the experience suboptimatl, due to your router’s failure to handle Window Scaling.ECN is off by default, so you won’t notice that it’s broken. And your router is probably symmetric, which means that Teredo/IPV6 won’t work well with it.
