An MTR test is a broad-spectrum diagnostic tool that can help identify where connections are faltering, or failing. It can also help identify what's causing your connection to fail. Please note that MTR tests can only be run on Windows, MacOS, or Linux. However, as the test being done is to assess your network, not the specific device itself. Please note the device used to run the test is not relevant to the result. Also, please ensure you run the test while using the specific ISP network that you're experiencing issues with at the time. 

Things to Note:

  • To get a good sample size it is advised to run the MTR for at least 10 minutes, which will send out approximately 300-600 packets.
  • ICMP Deprioritization as detailed here.
  • Run the MTR from BOTH ends of the connection to get data on both the TO and FROM routes.
