I sometimes tell people to try the network troubleshooter if they're having issues because it's idiot proof. All it'll do is occasionally disable and enable a network adapter which can fix some common problems. If you're even the slightest bit tech savvy though, ignore it.
Startup Repair has been useful when I've actually gone to use it, but I can count on one hand how many times I've gotten to that point.
Otherwise, no.
Network troubleshooter has on more than one occasion fixed my networking issues when somehow it got an invalid IP configuration, it's usually my last step that I do before system restart, that being said the only decent thing starter prepare has done for me is giving me a way to easily get into the recovery menu When It ultimately fail
Yeah, the network wizard helped me with a dhcp problem with zero hassle, so that one's definitely useful
I sometimes have a weird issue with my laptop WiFi where it intermittently drops speed to 0 without disconnecting... Network troubleshooter always fixes it despite the fact I never can lol.
