Our verdict

WinMTR runs a continuous traceroute and shows loss and latency for every hop, which makes it the standard test ISPs and game support desks ask customers to run. It is tiny, portable and needs no admin rights. The official home is winmtr.net, which links to the WinMTR-Official GitHub repository. The current version, 0.92, is old (its code dates from 2011) and the project describes itself as barely maintained, but it still does the job. Other 'WinMTR' builds on GitHub are unofficial forks.

FAQ

How do I read WinMTR results?

Look at the last hop (the destination). If loss starts at one hop and continues on every hop after it, that is real loss. If a middle hop shows loss but later hops do not, that router is just de-prioritising replies.

Is there WinMTR for Mac?

No. WinMTR is Windows-only; on macOS and Linux the original command-line 'mtr' does the same job.
