However, the diagnostic utility tool in all macOS versions will work the same to analyze and <\/span>solve your network\u2019s issues<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n While checking the network and providing solutions, the diagnostics tool can perform other functions to improve network performance. The functions will also depend on your macOS version.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Some of the extra functions from the windows in the diagnostics utility tool include:<\/span><\/p>\n It will provide graphs on real-time information such as <\/span>signal strength<\/span><\/a>, signal quality, and noise. The performance function may show some additional details like data transmission rates depending on the version.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is available for OS X Yosemite versions and later versions.
