So i don't know if wireshark is the right app for this, also i'm sorry for my poor english.
I was introduced on a company and they told me to analyse their ethernet connection (giving them a report each day) also, they told me too improve it and analyse errors and stuff like that
please help em
Wireshark is a passive tool that will provide information about packets on your network. You will need to figure out the requirements, as "analyse the ethernet connection" is too vague. It's possible that they mean "Does the ethernet connection have too many CRC errors?", which is something Wireshark can detect. We will be able to help you when your question is more like "How can I detect X network problem with Wireshark?"
edit: typo
I would read the documentation on what Wireshark does so you can evaluate whether you can use it for your needs. Note that one of the mentioned intended uses is to learn network protocols.
Then it's unlikely that Wireshark is the tool for you. There is no "Network errors report" functionality, nor any functionality that tells users how to improve networks.
Wireshark can display information that was recorded at the time and point of capture in the network. It's up to the user to analyse that information, using their skills gained from packet analysis, to determine if there is a problem and what might be causing it.
