Trying to make a shortcut; can't file the wifi.prefpane file which is not stored with the other preference panes in /System/Library/PreferencePanes. I can only find the Network.prefPane which is close; but not what I want.
someone suggested /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Network.prefPane/Contents/Plugins/Apple80211.prefPane but that doesn't work.
Thanks
Apple is using custom URLs for most of these new settings. The WiFi setting URL is:
x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.wifi-settings-extension
You can open it in the Terminal with:
open x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.wifi-settings-extension
I'm not familiar with shortcuts so I'm not sure how you would do it there.

No worries.
Poke around in the System Settings app and look for the Sidebar.plist file. I knew about the new URL scheme already, but I only found out about the sidebar file when looking for a url specific to the Wi-Fi setting.
/System/Library/PreferencePanes/Network.prefPane

ah that did the trick; thanks. Now I can make an applescript that runs it with one click using iCollections and go directly where I need to; if I need to renew DHCP.
In what folder does Macos Ventura store the WIFI prefpane?
