I am a home user and I would like to support this request or at least the
addition of more information about the wifi band in use.
My use case was that I got a new dual-band wifi adapter, but it seemed that KDE
was only connecting on 2.4 GHz. I needed to check that the adapter worked on 5
GHz (in KDE Plasma). I also wanted to compare the speeds of each band to see
whether to move my adapter. I found it difficult to understand how to make KDE
use 5 GHz and only succeeded with help from kind KDE users (see
https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/odnwm8/how_do_i_get_kde_plasma_networks_to_see_5_ghz/).
The problem was that I thought about connections in a different way from this
applet's UI.
It would be helpful if there was at least some indication in the applet that
the system (all the software that supports the applet including Network
Manager) is aware of and able to connect on both bands. For example, if you
click on an active connection and then the 'Details' tab, you are provided with
items such as the signal strength. It would have helped me if the 'Details' tab
also displayed the connection's current band and possible bands.
I would also like to give my thanks to Mr Grulich for his work on the KDE
Networks interface for so many years.
