Hey guys. Pretty straightforward question. I’ve tried to find this out before yet haven’t been able to find anything ever on it, Googling, basic CL knowledge, etc.

Just trying to find out a simple way to double check if a WiFi connection is 5G or 2G

Thanks in advance!

Hi. You can try to run iwconfig.

EDIT. Or better iw dev. See

For the exact same purpose i use wavemon. Maximize the terminal window to see all controls.

Linux how to get information about my current wifi connection using command line

Why create an account just to ask this question ?

Within the first two results → How to Display Wireless/WiFi Information in Real-time in Linux | Baeldung on Linux

And the answer is... 
nmcli -f DEVICE,SSID,IN-USE,FREQ,BARS dev wifi

I rephrased you topic title otherwise it could be mistaken for a guide - which it is not :slight_smile:
