how to see what frequency the wireless network is using

In Windows 10 (once you connect) you just go to Settings / Network & Internet / click on the SSID name and scroll down to Properties.  It tells you the band, protocol, channel, security type, and all that good stuff.

This works only on Windows 10 Anniversary Update (version 1607) and up.


on windows commandline: netsh wlan show interfaces

See Radio Type and Channel


For Windows 11:

  1. Open Settings
  2. Go to Network & internet
  3. Tap Properties Network & internet, WiFi properties, on Windows 11
  4. Scroll down and you will see the network band and channel Network band and channel in Settings on Windows 11

It doesn't show the width or how many channels you're using right now, only the control channel. In my case I'm actually using channels 36 through 64 (160 MHz).
