Samsung Galaxy Phones Have a Secret Wifi Menu Packed With Useful Options ...Middle East

Having spent more than two decades writing about gadgets and tech in general, it's not often that I come across a feature that I've never seen or heard of before—but Samsung has surprised me. It turns out the device maker has hidden a rather useful wifi menu in its One UI software that gives you a whole bunch of useful options. It's definitely new to me, and it might be new to you, too.

I'm indebted to the fine folks at Android Authority for spotting it; they, in turn, discovered it via a thread on Reddit, which embedded a TikTok video.The feature is called Connectivity Labs, and it seems to have been added at some point in 2023. You'll find it under the Intelligent Wi-Fi settings that Samsung makes available for the networks you connect to.

How to enable Connectivity Labs

Here's how to enable it: Open Settings on your Galaxy phone, then tap Connections > Wi-Fi. Tap the three dots up in the top right corner, then choose Intelligent Wi-Fi. You'll see some handy options here for switching wifi networks, connecting to hotspots, detecting suspicious networks, and prioritizing real time data.

To find the hidden menu, you need to tap Intelligent Wi-Fi at the bottom of the screen seven times to enable Connectivity Labs (when you get close, you'll see a message telling you that the feature is about to be enabled). That then gives you an extra Connectivity Labs menu option on this screen. The menu button describes the feature as being "for internal test purposes."

What you can do with Connectivity Labs

Tab Connectivity Labs and you'll first see a stack of statistics about your phone's wifi connection over the last week, including how much data you've used, how much time you've been connected, and even which wifi bands and standards you've been using (this can help you make sure you're getting full use of your new Wi-Fi 7 tri-band router).

Further down you'll find a range of options and toggle switches. One setting of note is Switching to mobile data faster, which should mean your phone is quicker to ditch a shaky wifi network for cellular data, and may be preferable if you've got an unlimited data plan for your handset.

Then there's Auto reconnect to carrier Wi-Fi, which apparently fully automates the process of connecting to public wifi spots provided by your carrier. Whether you want this to happen or not is really going to be down to personal preference and how you want your phone to work, but it's helpful to have the option.

Tap Customize Wi-Fi list settings and you're able to make improvements to the list of available wifi networks you see on your phone. You can change the signal strength threshold that determines whether or not a wifi network is shown as available, for example, and set up more filters to control which networks you see (maybe you only want to see secured, 5 GHz networks, for example).

Choose Wi-Fi developer options for even more stats, including a Nearby Wi-Fi information screen that ranks the networks around you based on the quality of their signal strength, from worst to best. This can be useful for troubleshooting problems and for making sure devices are connected to the network with the best signal.

Speaking of checking signal strength, if you open the Home Wi-Fi inspection option from the Connectivity Labs page, you get taken step by step through the process of seeing how good the wifi is at various points around your home. You pick the network you want to analyze, then wander around with your phone to check its strength at various points. Again, it's handy for figuring out why your laptop might be losing connection in the bedroom, or finding the best spot to install your new security camera.

Taken together, all of the tools in Connectivity Labs are so useful, it's something of a surprise that Samsung has placed them in a hidden menu you can't see by default. I'mglad to have discovered it.
