I connected to airport’s Wi-Fi and this symbol popped up on the corner of the Wi-Fi symbol?

    From my search:

    “The “+” sign in the WiFi logo indicates that your device is connected to a WiFi network and is using enhanced WiFi features such as WiFi Calling (VoWiFi) or faster data transfer protocols like WiFi 6, depending on your device and network capabilities.”

        Oh, I am well aware of C++. But I assure you that they were not referencing that when selling this goofy shit to consumers in the early 90s. I think it’s just a really bad logo.

    It’s a waypoint. As you move around, so will the waypoint.

    Go to the waypoint to begin your next mission.

    I suspect it’s dual-band acceleration (sometimes called “speed boost”) - you’re using both the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz bands. WiFi 6 and 7 will probably show a 6 and 7 respectively, and voice over WiFi is shown separately as you say.

    Try finding it in your settings, turning it off, and seeing if the + disappears?
