This tutorial will show you how to check what frequency band (6GHz, 5GHz, or 2.4GHz) your Wi-Fi network is currently connected to in Windows 11.
Wi-Fi is a wireless local area network (WLAN) technology and standard that uses high-frequency radio waves to provide wireless Internet and network connections to your Windows device.
When you connect to a Wi-Fi network with multiple bands, Windows 10 and Windows 11 will automatically connect to a supported band with the strongest signal by default. This may not always be ideal if you get connected to the slower 2.4GHz band instead of a faster 5GHz or 6GHz band. You can set a preferred band to force your Wi-Fi adapter to prioritize one supported band over the other when available.
