SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill diagnoses and helps repair common network connectivity failures such as no internet access, Wi‑Fi problems, DNS resolution errors, DHCP lease issues, misconfigured proxies, and broken/corrupt network settings.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided diagnostics with safety gates: First confirms whether the issue is likely router/ISP-side (other devices also affected) before running device-side checks.
  • Targeted repair flow: Performs connectivity, interface, Wi‑Fi signal, DHCP renew, DNS flush, proxy, firewall checks, and Wi‑Fi forget/reset as last resort.
  • Cross-platform, privilege-aware handling: Executes privileged steps via a helper when available and provides self-service instructions when not.
  • Edge-case awareness: Handles captive portals, VPN-block patterns (escalate to vpn-repair), APIPA/DHCP failures, and macOS SSID disclosure limitations.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I fix no internet access caused by DNS resolution errors and DHCP lease issues?

To fix no internet access from DNS resolution errors and DHCP lease issues, this Skill runs guided diagnostics to flush DNS, renew DHCP leases, and check interface connectivity. It requires a pre-flight user confirmation to ensure the problem is device-side rather than router or ISP-related.

Why does my Wi-Fi connection show no internet after changing proxy or firewall settings?

Wi-Fi connectivity issues after changing proxy or firewall settings often stem from misconfigured network rules. This Skill checks active proxy configurations and firewall constraints to identify and help repair connectivity blocks caused by those recent system changes.

What is the best way to diagnose intermittent internet connectivity and APIPA failures on a local network?

The best way to diagnose intermittent internet connectivity and APIPA failures is through targeted interface checks and DHCP renewal. This Skill performs cross-platform, privilege-aware checks to detect missing IP assignments and attempts connectivity recovery.

Can I use this network troubleshooting tool to reset Wi-Fi settings if I am connected to a captive portal or VPN?

For captive portal or VPN-block patterns, this network troubleshooting tool detects the block and escalates VPN issues to vpn-repair. It handles captive portals during diagnostics, but Wi-Fi forget and reset actions are constrained behind explicit consent and risk checks.

What are the limitations of repairing network connectivity when I lack administrative privileges on macOS?

When lacking administrative privileges on macOS, repairing network connectivity faces limitations such as an inability to execute privileged steps or disclose SSID details. The Skill provides self-service instructions instead of running destructive actions like Wi-Fi forget.
