To activate Connectivity labs, scroll to the bottom of the Intelligent Wi-Fi page and tap the software version seven times. On my S25 Plus, it’s labeled “Intelligent Wi-Fi 8.0.0.” As you repeatedly tap, a pop-up message should appear, giving you a countdown for how many more taps are left to activate Connectivity labs.
Once that’s done, you’ll find the secret menu at the bottom of the page. Click it, and you’re in business.

The top of the display shows valuable information about your Wi-Fi network. This starts with how long your latest connection has been active, what access point you’re currently using, and how long you’ve been connected in the last week. That’s followed by a display of what Wi-Fi bands and standards you’ve been using and for how long.
In my case, since I use a high-end Orbi 970 network powered by Wi-Fi 7, most of my connection is over Wi-Fi 7 using multiple bands. In practice, according to Ookla Speedtest, my 1Gbps AT&T fiber connection delivers just over a gigabit, with a tested speed of 1034Mbps. Now that’s fast.
