Lightbulb OS 5.0.0.100 - WiFi Preferred Option

Hello awesome citizens of CB nation,

I am constantly reading the forums, posts old and new, and in several instances I found reference to an option where one might set preferred way of data connection:
network only
network preferred
wifi preferred
wifi only
I did check the settings panel of WiFi Connections but failed to find such a menu. Am I missing something or is it just not there in the first place? Is there a hidden menu combination to get there?

Cheers

Nope,
Options then mobile network, and then connection preference.

Those options are on all WiFi enabled BBs.

You can find them under Mobile Network in Options.

Definitely not standard, as it's not on my unbranded.

Maybe only on UMA carriers phones (Orange/T-Mob)?

Weird....
Is there anyone with a 8900 from AT&T that has this option?

First off, allow me to excuse my fast typing and the error - of course it is under Mobile Network

Second, just like Phil_UK, I do not have this in my menus. I guess it has to do something with device-level-locks or codes. Mine is locked to Orange...

I don't think it's a branding issue but a carrier/network issue.
