For the best experience:
Turn on Location for desktop apps
Settings → Privacy & security → Location. Switch on Location services at the top, then switch on “Let desktop apps access your location” further down. The weak Wi-Fi warning works without this — Copper Goose reads the same signal bars Windows shows in the tray, which need no permission. Turning Location on adds your exact signal percentage to the warning.
On a phone hotspot or tether, mark the connection “Metered”
Settings → Network & internet → Wi-Fi → [your hotspot] → Metered connection → On. This tells Copper Goose the link is a hotspot (mobile network).
The above is optional — Copper Goose works fine without these. They just sharpen the Wi-Fi and hotspot warnings.
