Start with this device. NetSward helps you understand your connection and choose a useful next step on iPhone and iPad. See your current Wi-Fi identity when iOS permits it, connection path and gateway evidence, bounded DNS checks, and public interfaces. Run user-selected DNS, TCP, and TLS checks, discover Bonjour services, review history, map survey checkpoints, and create reports with redaction options. When iOS does not expose a value, NetSward labels it unavailable. Choose Guided for symptom-based help or Workbench for direct access to tools.

With full network evidence sharing enabled on your Mac, explore its nearby networks and channel analysis on your iPhone or iPad.
