## Advanced Settings

### Router Responsiveness
Enables the Router Lag measurements (on by default). Disabling can be useful when the network blocks ICMP traffic or the Orb is running on your router.

- To disable, toggle off the Router Responsiveness setting.

### Include ICMP
Includes ICMP pings (off by default). Enabling ICMP can be useful in some circumstances, but can misrepresent the internet experience.

- To enable, toggle on the Include ICMP setting.

###  Orb Measure Server

### Endpoint
Change the measurement endpoint from the internet to another Orb on your network. This can be particularly useful when isolating network paths, such as testing the Wi-Fi on your network.

- To change the measurement endpoint, tap on the setting and select an Orb to test to.
