Network issues are such a bad thing that they make us feel so annoyed and helpless at the same time. If the internet is available, then you can solve problems and troubleshoot various issues, may it be a minor hardware problem, or software problem or something minor, but what can we do if the problem is with the network itself, we cannot do anything, it becomes almost impossible to think anymore. Just kidding!!
But these days we have become so much dependent on the internet that we search for everything on the internet.
Tools For Troubleshooting Network Issues
Speedtest:
If you haven’t completely lost your network connection, but have been experiencing some ups and downs in the network, then you should try testing your network speed in the Speedtest by Oakla which is very popular for performing network test and checking the speed of the network.
Wireshark:
This is one of the most used network analysis tools. It shows you each and every bit of traffic to your network, and that’s why you need to filter to see only what you need. You can select a wired or wireless network connection and then the Wireshark will show you a live list of connections of all the network traffic on your machine. Click on a certain packet to view in detail.
