Regardless, you should know that Chromebooks come with a built-in ping service. On Chrome OS you won’t find a dedicated app for a ping test nor can you find such a service in any of the menus.

How to Ping an IP Address from a Chromebook A good connection won’t have any lost packets. Beneath those, you will see the ping statistics showing you how many packets you have sent, how many you received, and if any packets got lost on the way back.

These show you how many packets your computer sent and how much time it took to get a response from the server you’ve pinged. Once the test is complete, you will see the results. If you want to use an external IP address to test your connection, you can use one of Google’s DNS servers such as 8.8.8.8. Instead of an IP address, you can also type the domain name, like “,” “,” or any other valid domain.
