Detailed Wifi List

[ChrisUK]

Sometimes you may need to see a detailed list of local wireless devices - what channels are overused, signal strength, security etc. Some Desktops provide this info already (I think KDE does), but many don't. So for those that don't know, there's a small program either pre-installed as part of NetworkManager or in the repos called

Code: Select all

nmcli

.

Typing

Code: Select all

nmcli device wifi list

into the terminal gives you a nice colourful easy to read list... like this:

Thanks; I knew nmcli existed, but didn't know about the wifi list option. That's potentially useful.
