 To start up a Mac with Apple silicon in macOS Recovery, you need to access the startup options screen first. This screen lets you choose different startup disks or modes, including macOS Recovery. To get to the startup options screen, you need to shut down your Mac completely, then press and hold the power button until you see “Loading startup options” on the screen. Then, you can click Options and click Continue to enter macOS Recovery1. The other options, pressing and holding the Shift key or Command-R, are not valid ways to start up a Mac with Apple silicon in macOS Recovery. These methods work on Intel-based Macs, but not on Macs with Apple silicon2. References: 1 Use macOS Recovery on a Mac with Apple silicon - Apple Support 2 Intro to macOS Recovery - Apple Support

According to Apple, the security setting defines the type of authentication and encryption used by your router, and the level of privacy protection for data transmitted over its network. WPA3 Personal is the newest, most secure protocol currently available for Wi-Fi devices. It works with all devices that support Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), and some older devices. WPA2/WPA3 Transitional is a mixed mode that uses WPA3 Personal with devices that support that protocol, while allowing older devices to use WPA2 Personal (AES) instead. This mode offers better security and compatibility than WPA2 Personal (AES) alone, and avoids the weak security and performance of WEP and WPA/WPA2 modes. References: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points - Apple Support
