Is there a similar terminal command similar to the Windows command from the image to find out or know if my MBP M1 supports the WiFi WPA3 Personal and the 802.11ax?

Or my guess is to check the System Report? Should it be there?

I just ordered a new router with these more secure encryption protocols.

I did a Google search for “Mac WPA3 support” and the first link was this:

I then did a Google search for “Mac 802.11ax support“ and this was the first link:

In short, Macs have supported WPA3 for nearly 10 years, and all Apple Silicon Macs support Wifi6/802.11ax.

I did look through the the first knowledge base, but my question was, once connected to those WiFi protocols, how can I know that the MBP M1 is indeed using those WiFi protocols?

Where can I check this?

When I was using Windows, I went to the WiFi properties for the WiFi network that I was on and had detailed information about it like WPA2, and 802.11ac.

Terminal isn't necessary. If you hold down the option key and click on the wifi menu icon it will show your level of security along with a plethora of other useful information.
