wireless diagnostics not working

The instructions for using wireless diagnostics say that "After the analysis is complete, you get a list of detected issues and possible solutions". In other places I'm told I will get a graph showing the different channels. I get nothing of the kind.

All I get is a massive folder containing about 50 different files of technical jargon that are completely useless to me. How do I get a simple report/graph?

wireless diagnostics fails to create a report When I invoke the wireless diagnostics, they display a message that "When finished, a diagnostics report will be created in /var/tmp." However, after running for several minutes I see: "Failed to create diagnostics report." When I look in /var/tmp indeed there is no diagnostics report but possible signs of partial completion: $ ls /var/tmp IN_PROGRESS_sysdiagnose_2023.03.24_10-50-25-0500_macOS_MacBookPro18-2_21G419/ IN_PROGRESS_sysdiagnose_2023.03.24_10-50-25-0500_macOS_MacBookPro18-2_21G419-diagnostic_summary.log IN_PROGRESS_sysdiagnose_2023.03.24_10-50-25-0500_macOS_MacBookPro18-2_21G419.tar.gz IN_PROGRESS_sysdiagnose_2023.03.24_10-50-25-0500_macOS_MacBookPro18-2_21G419.tmp/ Nothing is shown for "wifi" or "wireless" searching logs in the Console. When I went back to look at the "IN_PROGRESS" files, they have been removed.
