I know I can search for and open the old "Network and Sharing Center" (Or run ncpa.cpl), click on the connection, and this dialog will show my speed:

Is there a faster way, or a shortcut that opens it directly? I would love to check this info on the tooltip of a tray icon. My adapter is a Intel AX210 with latest drivers.

  • Use Process Explorer and drag-drop the bullseye icon on top of this dialog. This will find the owner process. Double-click on the process to find out its call command.

  • @harrymc thanks, found the command C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe /factory,{5BD95610-9434-43C2-886C-57852CC8A120} -Embedding but calling that produces nothing. Tried without -Embedding but also no go.

  • There are third-party tools that might provide the info, such as WifiInfoView, nirsoft.net/utils/wifi_information_view.html . You can leave it running, or pin to taskbar or make a desktop shortcut

  • To note, that "speed" reported is the WiFi link speed which says nothing about the real speed you're getting to any resources (local or over the internet)

You could make a shortcut to a command file which just contains:

@echo off
netsh wlan show interfaces |find "Receive"
pause Done

This will show:

Receive rate (Mbps)    : 300
Press any key to continue . . .
