Measure the link speed of all scanned networks in Android

What I want to do is measure the link speed of each scanned network that WiFiManager finds.

I retrieve all of the scanned networks in a callback after wifiManager.startScan(); has being called using the method wifiManager.getScanResults(); but I can't find a method to measure the link speed of each scanned network.

The only way I could retrieve the link speed of a network is through WifiInfo, but that object only represents the current Wi-Fi connection.

How do you propose Android should find the link speed of a network without connecting to it? – Bryan Herbst Dec 17 '13 at 17:04
No idea. If that's the case, then my programming assignment is invalid. :) – georgez Dec 17 '13 at 17:05
Your hardware can read some information, i.e. SSID, without connecting. Why not link speed? – user1445967 Dec 17 '13 at 17:06
The android device is not connected to a particular network. It just scanned all of the available networks. I want to retrieve the link speed of each scanned network. I can't figure out a way/hack. – georgez Dec 17 '13 at 17:10
