Network Doctor finds out why your home network feels slow โ€” and shows the evidence behind every conclusion. WHAT IT MEASURES Every check runs a fixed, deterministic sequence: idle latency, latency under load in both directions (bufferbloat), request loss, time-boxed saturation download and upload throughput, and server-assisted path MTU โ€” which detects the reductions typical of DS-Lite and PPPoE lines. ROUTER INTELLIGENCE, NO CREDENTIALS NEEDED Network Doctor auto-detects FRITZ!Box, Telekom Speedport, Vodafone Station/EasyBox, O2 HomeBox, and any UPnP-capable router. It classifies your line as native dual stack, DS-Lite, carrier-grade NAT, or double NAT from the WAN address, reads the line sync rates, and compares them with the Wi-Fi throughput it actually measured: your line delivers 100, your WLAN delivers 31. FRITZ!BOX DEEP EVIDENCE (OPTIONAL) With optional credentials โ€” strictly read-only โ€” Network Doctor maps your mesh: which repeater serves your phone, the backhaul medium and its bottleneck rate (Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or Powerline, including devolo), 100-Mbit cable detection, channel utilization, and topology loops. FINDINGS YOU CAN CHECK Every finding names the measurements behind it and states a confidence. Typical findings: weak mesh backhaul, bufferbloat, congested channel, recurring evening losses, double NAT. GUIDED A/B TESTS Is it your home network or your provider? Compare WLAN against cellular. Is it coverage? Compare where you are against next-to-router. SAFE REMEDIATION Every suggested change comes with a preview and a rollback path, is confirmed explicitly, and is validated by the next measurement: resolved, improved, unchanged, or regressed. Router access is strictly read-only โ€” Network Doctor never changes router settings. HISTORY AND TRENDS Every check is stored locally, with trends and per-room sparklines. History-based rules catch patterns a single check misses, such as losses that recur every evening. PRIVACY Local-first by design: no account, no tracking, no third-party SDKs, and a privacy manifest. Optional cloud analysis (Claude) is off by default, never sends network names or addresses, and the exact payload can be previewed in the app before anything leaves your device. A support report can be exported via the share sheet. A NOTE ON LANGUAGE Network Doctor is developed German-first. The user interface is available in English, but the diagnostic finding texts currently appear in German. Requires iOS 18 or later. For iPhone and iPad.

About

WiFi Devices Quick

Features
Read full description

WiFi Devices Quick helps you see supported Bonjour service endpoints published on your current local Wi-Fi network. Start a foreground discovery, review the exact service name, type, domain, and observed interface, then mark an endpoint as known or unknown and add a local alias. Compare the current successful result with the previous successful discovery. Features: - User-initiated foreground Bonjour discovery - Fixed, declared set of common local service types - Exact service endpoint identity without guessing physical devices - Known or unknown classification and local aliases - New, continued, and previously observed differences - Clear empty, partial, timeout, permission, and Wi-Fi recovery states - English and Japanese support Important limitations: The app does not list every device on a network. A device appears only when it publishes a supported Bonjour service that the iPhone can observe. Guest networks, client isolation, firewalls, and service configuration may affect results. The app does not determine IP address, vendor, owner, physical-device count, or security status, and it does not scan ports, inspect traffic, or run in the background. No account, usage analytics, advertising, or cloud sync is included. Discovery and saved information are not sent off your device. Crash reports are sent through Firebase Crashlytics to fix bugs, and you can turn this off in Settings.
