MTR (My Trace Route) is a network diagnostic tool that combines the functionality of ping and traceroute. It allows you to trace the path of packets across a network, showing you hop-by-hop performance statistics. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps required to install MTR on a Windows 10 system.
Before we get started, ensure that you have the following prerequisites in place:
The first step in installing MTR on your Windows 10 system is to download the installation file.
Visit Bitwizard's website at mtr/">https://www.bitwizard.nl/mtr/ and download the latest version of MTR for Windows.
Once the download is complete, extract the zip file to a folder of your choice.
MTR requires that you have WinPcap installed on your system to capture network traffic.
Download the latest version of WinPcap from their website at https://www.winpcap.org/install/default.htm and install it on your Windows 10 system.
To install MTR, simply run the mtr.exe file that you extracted earlier.
Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation process.
Once the installation is complete, MTR is ready to use.
To test if MTR is installed correctly, open a command prompt by pressing Windows Key + R and typing cmd followed by pressing Enter.
In the command prompt, type mtr followed by the name or IP address of a remote server to test.

This will start MTR and show you live statistics of the packets being sent and received between your system and the remote server.
