Network Connection Info – Advanced Network Info for Your Mac Menu Bar
Instantly See How Your Network Is Really Performing
Ever wonder why your video call is choppy, even though you’re paying for fast internet? Curious if your Mac is connected to the slower 2.4 GHz band instead of the faster 5 GHz one?
That happened to me—my Mac kept defaulting to a weak, congested Wi-Fi channel, crippling my connection speed. I had no easy way to see what was happening at a glance.
I built Network Connection Info to save myself from this frustration—and now it can save you too.
What It Does
Network Connection Info is a lightweight, privacy-respecting Mac menu bar app that gives you real-time details about your Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections:
Detailed Wi-Fi Analysis
Instantly see your network’s SSID, Wi-Fi Standard (e.g., Wi-Fi 6), frequency band, signal strength (RSSI), and negotiated transmit rate.
Ethernet Speed Check
View the negotiated link speed of your wired connections, so you know if you’re getting 1 Gbit/s or something less.
Essential Info at a Glance
Quickly find your IPv4/IPv6 addresses and MAC address for any active connection.
Customizable Menu Bar
Choose exactly what you want to see in the menu bar—from your IP address to your current link speed.

- Debug slow or unstable Wi-Fi connections.
- Identify if you’re on the best frequency band (2.4 GHz vs. 5 GHz).
