I’m trying to determine the actual Wi-Fi band (e.g. 2.4GHz, 5GHz, or 6GHz) of the network that is currently connected on macOS.
I’m not looking for a heuristic based on the Wi-Fi name (SSID), such as checking whether it contains “5G” or “6G”.
Instead, I want a reliable and accurate method that reflects the real connection parameters reported by the system.
Specifically, I’m interested in:
Whether macOS exposes the current Wi-Fi band or channel information through public APIs (e.g. CoreWLAN)
Or if there is any supported system-level way to retrieve this information programmatically
If this information is not directly accessible, I’d also like to understand:
Why macOS does not expose it
And whether there is a recommended alternative approach
Any insights or examples would be greatly appreciated.
