Hostname resolution is only available when the LAN gateway is used as the DNS server. - Widgets are updated only at scheduled intervals (e.g. every 5 minutes), so they can show outdated info.

Internet Quality shows how your Wi-Fi actually performs, room by room and right now. Walk through your home with your iPhone camera. Internet Quality measures your connection at every spot you pass and builds a map of where your Wi-Fi answers fast and where it struggles, live in AR, then as a 2D floor plan and a 3D map you can revisit and share. WHY NOT SIGNAL STRENGTH (dBm)? iOS doesn't let App Store apps read Wi-Fi signal strength in dBm, so an iPhone app that shows it is estimating. Internet Quality measures what signal strength only hints at: how quickly and how reliably your router answers you at each spot. Strong bars don't guarantee good Wi-Fi. Interference, crowded channels, thick walls, mesh hops and a busy router all slow you down while the signal still looks full. Response time and dropped replies show what your video calls, games and streams will actually get. WIFI OR INTERNET? FIND THE BOTTLENECK • Your router and the internet are measured separately, so you can see whether the problem is your Wi-Fi or your internet provider • Live quality score with response time, jitter and packet loss • Rolling history charts to catch drops and spikes over time AR WIFI MAP • Walk and measure: every spot is checked against your router as you move • Heat map clipped to your real room outline, with your best and weakest spots marked • 2D and 3D views of every saved scan, with sharing as a post or story image SPEED TESTS • Internet speed test: download, upload and response time • Wi-Fi link test between two iPhones on the same network, to measure your Wi-Fi without your internet provider in the way ALWAYS AT HAND • Home Screen widgets for a one-tap connection check • Network details: Wi-Fi name, router IP and connection type • Customizable dashboard, designed for iPhone and iPad with Liquid Glass

Verdict
Network Utility and Internet Quality both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 81% of Network Utility's written reviews are positive against 18% of Internet Quality's. Network Utility also leads on ratings volume (625 vs 8) and iOS requirement (18.6 vs 26.0). Internet Quality's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
