Private wifi address not displaying on macbook pro

Private wifi address not displaying on macbook pro

I'm pretty sure I'm in the right screen here, I've checked against other people's images and everyone else has the 'Private Wifi' there.

I remember seeing it previously and optioned it ON. But now want it off and can't find it.

I'm on a MacBook Pro 13 inch 2020, running Sonoma 14.8.1.

You're so right! I did upgrade, did select that button, but then the whole Mac died so had to stick Sonoma back on. That's where I got confused. Many thanks!
