Network Path & Nearby Access Points
Live ping, download, upload and DNS/traceroute results measured against this site's own server, plotted on a real map of your approximate location — with clearly labeled estimated access points, never claimed as confirmed cell towers.

Good Practices
🧭✓Estimated points on the map are for illustration — treat distance and signal figures there as approximate, not measured.
✓For fixed wireless or router placement, test antenna direction and height rather than relying on distance alone.
✓Traceroute usually reveals network gateways and routing nodes, not the physical cell tower your device is using.

Important: a normal browser cannot directly expose cellular tower identity or perform a raw ICMP traceroute. The Traceroute and DNS Lookup tabs above call this site's own backend to get real results; the map's nearby points are still illustrative estimates unless a licensed tower database or device radio API is connected.
HOW IT WORKS
Real Diagnostics, Honestly Labeled
Ping, download, upload and jitter are measured live against this site's own server. DNS Lookup and Traceroute call a real backend endpoint — DNS uses .NET's resolver, and Traceroute runs the OS's own tracert/traceroute utility with the destination validated first. The map shows your real approximate location once you grant permission, with nearby access points marked as estimates because no ordinary website can identify the specific cell tower a phone or router is using.
NetPath Pro FAQ
Are the nearby access points real cell towers?
No. A standard website cannot identify the specific cell tower or AirFiber unit your device is connected to. The points shown are illustrative estimates placed around your approximate location so you can see how a map-based view would work; they are clearly labeled as estimates.
Is the traceroute real?
Yes. The Traceroute tab calls this server's own backend, which runs the operating system's tracert (Windows) or traceroute (Linux) utility against the host you enter, after validating it is a well-formed domain or IP address.
Why does traceroute sometimes fail?
Some hosting environments block ICMP/UDP probes, or the traceroute utility may not be installed on the server. If that happens the tab will show a clear error instead of fabricated hops.
Where does my location come from?
Only from your browser's own geolocation permission, which you must explicitly grant. If you decline, the map falls back to an approximate IP-based location instead.
Is my data stored?
No. Everything runs live for your session. The exported report is generated and downloaded entirely in your browser.
