Also, when choosing the ESSID and entering the passphrase, it appeared in plain text.
This would be better masked with *** by default, and an option given to display it

given that it's a non personalized passphrase, what's the scenario you're
worried about?

Kind regards

I believe the router passphrase is as important, if not more so,
than a user password.  Installing in a home is less of an issue
than a business environment, but I think it would be best to err
on the side of security, letting the user unmask the entry if desired.

Peace,
