Question. How can I check wifi speeds in Windows 10 Pro?

Answer. Here are two methods to check Windows 10 wifi connection speeds:

#1 Graphical User Interface (GUI) method

• Press Windows Key + R and type ncpa.cpl
• Press Enter
• Double-click the WiFi adapter that you want to check
• The Wi-Fi Status window will display:

Windows 10 Graphical Display of WiFi Speeds (like the Windows 7 interface)

#2 Command Prompt text method

• Open a Command Prompt (or Press Windows Key + R and type cmd)
• Type netsh wlan show interfaces and press Enter
• You will get a text listing of Wi-Fi info and speeds (See below)

Both methods will show your current WiFi speeds in Mbps. 🙂

I hope this helps!

Example command prompt text output:

C:\Users\User>netsh wlan show interfaces
