Hi Nekhelesh,

Nice to hear that it helps you. To my best understanding, that is the
limitation of the Connectivity API at
https://developer.ubuntu.com/api/apps/qml/sdk-15.04.1/Ubuntu.Connectivity.NetworkingStatus/

It does not specify whether it is WiFi or not.  In fact, I once raised a
request for the purpose. You may refer to my blog in Chinese to get the
full details of the API at:

http://blog.csdn.net/UbuntuTouch/article/details/45022951

You may use google translate to translate it. Basically, you can use the
command:

qmlplugindump Ubuntu.Connectivity 1.0

to get all of the details.

Best regards,
XiaoGuo
