Are there any alternatives to tracert command in cmd/PowerShell that doesn't suffer the request timed out issue?

Solution 1:

If tracert takes too much time timeout, you could reduce this wait by using its -w milliseconds parameter. Another quick connectivity test method is by using telnet.

To use TCP, use the tracetcp free project:

  • Download and install the WinPcap library
  • Download the latest release of tracetcp
  • Extract the archive to use.

Command syntax:

tracetcp.exe hostname:port

Example:

tracetcp.exe api.opendns.com:443
