Settings had grown to 21 rows in one list. It opens on five groups (This device, Display, GNSS and radio, Network, System); Enter opens one, Back returns to the groups, and Back from the groups leaves Settings. SettingsMenu holds the groups and which one is open (host-tested: every setting is in exactly one group). The guide, the how-tos, the README, the scripts' messages and the firmware's own name the new paths, such as "Settings > System > Firmware".

- Add the network first. In Settings → Network → Wi-Fi, choose Add a network, pick it and type the password. (A hidden network has its own entry, which asks for the name first.)
- Open the network's page: Enter on it in the list of saved networks.
- Set IP address to Fixed. The address, the prefix and the gateway start from what the network is giving the device at that moment, so you only change what is wrong.
- Address: four numbers, like
10.39.39.13. - Prefix: 1 to 30. 24 is 255.255.255.0.
- Gateway: optional; empty means none.
- Address: four numbers, like
- Leave the page. The setting is checked and applied then; a bad address is refused with the reason.
- Check it. Back in Settings → Network → Wi-Fi, Enter on Status shows the address, the mask, the gateway, the DNS and NTP servers, and where each came from.
DNS and time
DNS and NTP on the Wi-Fi page holds two DNS servers (9.9.9.9 and 1.1.1.1 by default) and two NTP servers (pool.ntp.org and time.cloudflare.com). They are used on Fixed networks, or on every network if Always use my DNS is on. Leave a second server empty if you only have one. IPv4 only.
To go back, set IP address to Automatic. Forget this network is at the bottom of the same page.
