Unfortunately, Windows has not had the ability to see this information easily, if at all. That has changed with a new tool developed by the great, and generous, Peter McKenzie (@mackenziewifi) . Peter has scripted up a handy little tool, using Power Shell, that shows useful information about your Windows machine’s current wireless connection.

He has basically taken the “netsh wlan” command and wrapped it in a simple UI that breaks down the information shown in the CLI in a nice simple display.

It shows things like channel info, auth type, BSSID, and it even converts the “signal quality” percentage, that Windows uses, in to a usable dBm value.
