To check the wireless adapter settings, use these steps:

• Open Start.
• Search for Command Prompt, right-click the top result, and select the Run as administrator option.

• Type the following command to view wireless settings and press Enter:

  netsh wlan show interfaces

• (Optional) Type the following command to view the settings for a specific interface and press Enter:

  netsh wlan show interface name="WLAN-INTERFACE-NAME"

In the command, replace the WLAN-INTERFACE-NAME for the actual name of the interface. You can use the netsh interface show interface command to find out the exact name.

For example, this command shows the profiles saved for the “Wi-Fi” interface:

netsh wlan show interface name="wi-fi"

Once you complete the steps, the netsh tool will display the current wireless settings for one or all the adapters, including name, description, physical address, SSID, radio type (for example, 802.11ac), security authentication method, and the current receive and transmit rates, and signal strength.
