Actually I don't see anything when I click on "Access Point (SSID)",
nor is it shown anywhere that I can see.
In any way, my question was: What do the four arrows do?

More importantly, the old Network Management Configuration
allowed one to change the settings, eg the SSID one is seeking,
and it provided a little map showing what SSID's are visible,
where one could click on the SSID one wanted.

Do you consider the change an improvement?
