To use the Network Scanner in Fallout 4, you gotta have it in your inventory first. Then, find a terminal you can hack into. Just plug it in and voila, it should start working on its own, doing its hacky thing. Follow any on-screen instructions if they pop up. It's part of the questline, so you can't miss when you're supposed to use it!
Don't overthink it. The game guides you through the process when you're on the correct quest. If the scanner ain't working, you're probably trying to use it in the wrong spot or at the wrong time in the game. Just follow the quest markers and instructions.
Make sure you're at the right terminal; not every computer in the wasteland is gonna let you whip out your Network Scanner. And don't worry about it stealing your data - your secrets are safe in the Commonwealth.
