So I adapted a conky script to show my wired connection by changing template 4 from eth0 to eno1:
template4 = 'eno1',
template5 = 'eth1',
template6 = 'wlan0',
template7 = 'wlan1',
I can't remember how I found it was eno1 and not eth0. Now I'm on a computer with wifi and neither wlan0 or wlan1 work and I can't remember how to find the right replacement. 
The terminal command ifconfig should show it.
That is what I used when writing my Conky's.
Not sure why it showed eno1 but I can't see anything resembling wlan.

Are you... supposed to?
I assumed. wlxc8fe30ffce67 of all things. Everything I've read said wlan for wifi. Thanks once again
