Eight checks in one pass — double NAT called out when it matters.
Packet-size pings, bufferbloat probe, and DNS lookup — serious tools under the cuteness.
Plain-English advice from live measurements — jitter, latency spikes, double NAT.
Not a toy speed test. Field-grade visibility for people who support real networks.
Confirm the LAN gateway answers, DNS resolves, and HTTPS reaches the open internet — the three things that break most “the network is down” tickets.
Catches stacked routers and carrier NAT that break inbound ports, some VPNs, and VoIP — before you spend an hour chasing ghosts.
Know when you're stuck behind hotel or guest Wi‑Fi login walls instead of a real outage.
Measures latency, jitter and loss across the Wi-Fi hop and compares it against internet jitter, so you know whether the air or the uplink is the problem.
