  2. Type the following command and press Enter:iwconfig This command will display the configuration of your wireless network interfaces.
  3. Look for the wireless adapter you want to check under the "wlan" section. It is usually named as "wlan0" or "wlan1".
  4. Within the information displayed for your wireless adapter, you will find the "Bit Rate" field. This field shows the current speed of your wireless adapter.For example, it may look like this:Bit Rate=54 Mb/s The value shown indicates the current connection speed in megabits per second (Mb/s).


Please note that the actual speed may vary depending on the capabilities of your wireless adapter, the network environment, and any interference present.
