Network tools

The next answer after “my internet feels slow.”

Speed is only one part of a network. These iPhone tools help inspect delay, reachability, addressing, local devices, and public network details.

Choose the question you need to answer.

ms

Ping

Send repeated HTTPS reachability checks to an IP address or domain and compare response times.

Route

Resolve an endpoint and probe its reachability. This is a route-oriented check, not a full hop-by-hop traceroute.

LAN

LAN Scan

Find responsive devices on the current Wi-Fi subnet. Results depend on iOS local-network permission and how devices answer probes.

IP

Geo IP

Look up approximate location and organization information for your public IP address, with Apple Maps context.

i

Connection Info

Review active interface names and assigned addresses for Wi-Fi, cellular, and other available network paths.

GP

Game Ping

Compare HTTPS response time to public services for popular games and platforms.

A practical sequence

Move from symptom to evidence.

Measure

Run a speed test to establish download, upload, and baseline latency.

Compare

Test again near the router or on another connection to isolate Wi-Fi from the internet service.

Inspect

Use diagnostics and a focused tool when the speed result alone does not explain the problem.

Important limits

What the tools can and cannot prove.

Mobile operating systems restrict low-level network access. Ping and Game Ping measure HTTPS response time, which is useful for comparison but is not identical to ICMP ping or in-match latency. LAN Scan can miss devices that sleep, block requests, use client isolation, or do not respond during the scan. Geo IP is approximate and usually describes the provider’s network exit, not a precise device location.

Diagnostics combines six common checks into one guided run.
