Fixato measures your real speed against the plan you pay for, checks DNS and your adapter, and answers the only question that matters: is it your provider, or your gear?
"The internet is slow" is rarely the whole story. Fixato tests what's actually happening on your machine, then tells you plainly whether to reboot your router, call your provider, or let it fix the Windows side.
Active network tests plus adapter and driver inspection. Repairs rebuild the Windows networking stack when it's the culprit — they never touch your router's configuration.
Real throughput vs your plan, DNS resolution, adapter and driver — combined into a plain verdict, not a spinning dial.
Read-only. Fixato probes each link in the chain so the slowdown isn't a guess.
What you're actually getting, measured, next to what you're paying for.
Named tooltest_internet_speed
Your adapters, how they're addressed, and whether name lookups resolve — the usual cause behind "pages won't load" even though the connection looks fine.
Named toolget_network_status
Whether a given destination answers, and how long it takes — the difference between "slow" and "dropping".
Named toolping_host
On Wi-Fi: your signal strength, the band you're on and the rate actually negotiated with the router — how a weak link gets proven rather than assumed.
Named toolget_wifi_details
Whether Windows reports your Wi-Fi or Ethernet adapter as failing, rather than merely "not the newest".
Named toollist_driver_problems
Which programs are actually talking to the network right now — sometimes the "slow internet" is one program helping itself.
Named toolget_network_connections
Each name above is one of Fixato's named tools. The agent picks from that closed list — it can't type a command of its own. The complete list is published with the licence.
When the problem is on your PC, these standard resets fix it. Your confirmation first, and your router is never touched — Fixato has no way to reach it.
Clears a stale DNS cache that's sending you to the wrong place. Nothing is configured, nothing is lost.
Named toolflush_dns
Rebuilds the core Windows networking components — Winsock, IP, DNS — when they're the culprit. This is the big one, and it needs a reconnect afterwards.
Named toolreset_network_stack
Points Windows at a fast, reliable public resolver when yours is the bottleneck. Fixato reads your current setting and gives it back to you before it changes anything, so you can restore it exactly.
Named toolset_dns_servers
Installs the signed driver Windows Update offers for a network adapter that's genuinely in error — never a downgrade.
Named toolupdate_drivers
Each name above is one of Fixato's named tools. The agent picks from that closed list — it can't type a command of its own. The complete list is published with the licence.
Diagnosis is read-only. Every change needs your explicit confirmation and is logged on your machine; system repairs are preceded by a restore point — or they're blocked. See security & safety.
