Apple has introduced iOS 17, which now offers new features for obtaining information about your Wi-Fi connection through Shortcuts. When you include the "Get Network Details" action in a shortcut, you have the option to select details such as the network name (SSID), BSSID, Wi-Fi standard, receive and transmit rates, RSSI, noise, and channel number.
One important consideration is that the report does not automatically refresh. If you wish to update the information, you will need to rerun the shortcut.
