Apple - How do I get the name of the wifi network I'm connected to?
/Sy*/L*/Priv*/Apple8*/V*/C*/R*/airport -I | awk '/ SSID:/ {print $2}'
This uses the airport CLI, with the -I
flag to show information and filter using awk for just the SSID shows the name of the network.
Great answer here by grg, but just wanted to add this option in case it is useful for someone to extract the SSID and only the SSID:
/Sy*/L*/Priv*/Apple8*/V*/C*/R*/airport -I | grep -w SSID | awk '{print $2}'
