It would be nice for such a thing to tell me that my ISP connection is
having trouble too, but I'm mostly interested in understanding the things
that are nominally under my control on my home network. It seems that
most routers have (gratuitous?) apps these day, but given the awfulness
of their web UI's and their configurability, I don't have much hope that
they do what I want.
