Ability to view WIFI connection details? I've recently entered the mac world by getting my very first macbook pro and now am living with the differences of "thinking differently".  One thing I can't seem to find is any details on my connection.

Is there a way to see if the wifi I am connected to is B/G/N etc; Or does this require some custom app?

It is hard not having 'advanced options' ;)
Hold Alt when clicking at the AirPort icon on the menu bar. It should say PHY Mode: 802.11.x, where x is the type of connection.



You can also launch Wireless Diagnostics from that menu to capture packets and graph signal and noise measurements.
