The latest update has slightly improved access to the menu, but network settings still take a few scrolls to access despite the frequency of use compared to other options.
Since sound already has a shortcut, its placement in the settings hierarchy is less critical than that of network settings, which need faster access.
For those who rely on tethering or travel frequently, quick network access is more essential than settings like brightness or Bluetooth.
Refer to other products, the settings menu generally has Airplane Mode first (r1 doesn’t have this, and a voice prompt will direct it to power off menu) and Wi-Fi/network second.
