On the iPhone, is it possible to find out which WIFI network we are connected to?

iphone networking wifi detect ssid

If yes, can we also get additional information about the network configuration?

One useful way to do this could be getting the SSID of the current network. Is there an API to do that?

Update: I found a similar question here:

Can the iPhone SDK obtain the Wi-Fi SSID currently connected to?

Try following method: 

#import <SystemConfiguration/CaptiveNetwork.h>

NSString *wifiName = @"Not Found";
CFArrayRef myArray = CNCopySupportedInterfaces();

if (myArray != nil) {

    CFDictionaryRef myDict = CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo(CFArrayGetValueAtIndex(myArray, 0));

    if (myDict != nil) {
        NSDictionary *dict = (NSDictionary*)CFBridgingRelease(myDict);

        wifiName = [dict valueForKey:@"SSID"];

    }  
}

NSLog(@"wifiName:%@", wifiName);
