Cannot get QR code to show on display to add printer into Prusa App

New Core One printer.  I went through the setup and did a test print of Benchy successfully.
Now I want to setup the app.  I have it downloaded.  I select Add Printer and choose the Core One.  It tells me to go to Settings - Add Printer to Connect.
Unfortunately, that menu item does not show up.  Is it in a different location?
Any help appreciated!

I went online and learned it is under Settings - NETWORK - Add Printer to Connect.
This should be updated in the app.

Luke Jim E., I cannot locate the "Add Printer" menu item that I need in order to add the printer to my mobile app.

I did fine a menu item that is "Add Printer," but it is under PRUSA Connect, which I am not and do not wish to use.

How on earth is this possible? I've looked at every menu item that I could access. It doesn't seem to be there, and there is no alternative offered on the console. So I am asking you all. If I'm at fault please assist.

@Jim E, I checked the Network menu and did not find the "Add Printer" item there, but I did find one under the Network->PRUSA Connect menu item.

I tried using it, but simply got errors. I only want to use PRUSA Link. Hmmm As I say this, I think that I may have realized something about this challenge. I'll brb...............I had to register on Prusa Connect in order to get the code in order to use the mobile app. And I couldnt do that at firrst because the printer is only capable of utilizing 2.5ghz wifi I have 5 & 2.4, but the router always seems to use 5g to connect first. So I have to manually pause the 5g while the device gets connected. After that, most devices can still communicate through the dual band router.
