Network Utility
Starting Terminal as suggested and typing ping just shows me some code. I get no information. Where is the data previously supplied by Network Utility?
iMac 27″, macOS 11.4

You need to supply the proper options to the command. To see how to use the ping command and the available options type this in the Terminal:
man ping
This will allow you to view the manual pages for the command which in this case is "ping". Use the arrow keys to scroll (or the Trackpad/mouse scroll feature) to navigate. Press the "q" key to quit and go back to the command line to enter your next command.
You can also find some other examples if you search for "command line ping" although the majority of the results will be for Linux, but many of the example will likely still work with macOS or at least help you to understand how to interpret the instructions from the man pages for ping.
