Is there a tool to display WiFi information in console?
Under Linux, you can use the iw*
series of commands to configure and display information about wireless networks:
- iwconfig - configure a wireless network interface
- iwlist - Get more detailed wireless information from a wireless interface
- iwpriv - configure optionals (private) parameters of a wireless network interface
- iw - show / manipulate wireless devices and their configuration
sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
Assuming your wireless is wlan0
, of course. If you're not sure, iwconfig
should tell you.
Here is a rather comprehensive list. One particularly nice way is:
watch -n 1 cat /proc/net/wireless
