Dear @namitnagar

You can write a small JavaScript to show the connection type (Wifi, 4G, 5G, …) and also to check the download speed or RTT and decide what you do.

See this example from W3S:

```auto
var connection = navigator.connection || navigator.mozConnection || navigator.webkitConnection;
var conType = connection.type;

console.log("Your connection type: " + conType);

```

Returns the type of connection a device is using to communicate with the network. It will be one of the following values:

- bluetooth
- cellular
- ethernet
- none
- wifi
- wimax
- other
- unknown

You can also use `navigator.connection.effectiveType` to get

- slow-2g
- 2g
- 3g
- 4g

Hope this helps
