Network Scanner

To access:

From the Toolbox on the navigation panel, click Speed Up and then click Network Scanner.

What it does:

This feature scans for devices on your network using bandwidth that could be causing network congestion.

If you are experiencing significant slowdown, it may indicate that router ports are open and vulnerable to inviting spoofed DNS and other malicious queries.

Why use it:

Hackers use automated scanners to check for open router ports and label them susceptible to attack.

The outside queries that open ports invite, such as spoofed DNS queries, can cause network congestion.

More importantly, security cameras, thermostats, gaming consoles, smart TVs, phones, speakers and many other connected devices can be exposed to hacks.
