Ability to go into " Wifi Only " and " Offline Mode " by using buttons combos.
In FW4, Wifi Only (default FW4 starting mode) you can't go into Offline, nor go back to Wifi Only after switching to another mode. In Offline Mode, you can't go to Wifi Only, nor go back to Offline via buttons.
As Wifi + Bluetooth mode may have a performance cost, Wifi Only matters.
Proposition : Coyping Legacy Bluetooth idea, you could Long Press Action + Long Press Down to go to Wifi Only / Offline modes.
From Offline
Long Action => Bluetooth (like FW3 iirc, even if it was Legacy Bluetooth at that time it was called Bluetooth with navy blue LED)
Long Action + Long Down => Wifi Only (new)
From Bluetooth
Long Action => Offline (as was with FW3 iirc ?)
Long Action + Long Down => Wifi Only (new)
From Wifi + Bluetooth
Long Action => Bluetooth (as is now)
Long Action + Long Down => Wifi Only (new)
From Wifi
Long Action => Wifi + B
Long Action + Long Down => Offline
For all modes
Long Action + Long Up : As now, Legacy Bluetooth, press again to revert to previous mode.

LaraCroftNylonLover[Part 2/2] Not with 1000 caracters limit.
From Wifi :
Perhaps also Long Press Action + Short Press Down => Bluetooth to allow for people to go from Wifi Only to Bluetooth
Someone in the Discord suggested to not use any of the D-pad because he lost a Handy like that (didn't quite catch how). This leaves another option : cycling every mode from Long Action Press.
Advantages : same button to press / accessibility for people with partial disability (i.e only one hand)
Downsides : frustrating to cycle every mode if you have to Long Press like 4 times to get back to the mode you want. Assuming least to most online order of progression, Wifi => Wifi + Bluetooth => Offline => Legacy Bluetooth = Bluetooth => Wifi => Wifi + B means starting in Wifi Only (default) would require 4 Long Action presses for Bluetooth.
TLDR : Goal is to make every mode available with buttons, either through combos or single button long press. Maybe option to choose preferred method in App / Website settings ?
