Visual feedback when saving settings
When a user changes a setting on the settings page, we immediately save it. We should provide some sort of feedback to indicate that (e.g. "Saving.."). /cc @michellereamy

i wonder if there is a way to incorporate a quick transition or animation for each field that is saved on the Settings page, so that we don't have to add a bunch of UX complexity with confirmation messages or make the page feel slow by including a 'save in progress' indicator.
Annie, the question is how can indicate to the user that changes have been saved on the Settings page? it's my understanding that we make the saves instantaneously as the use edits each field, so one uber "Settings Saved" for the whole page wouldn't really work. Is this something you can help us with?
As for the 'Disconnecting/Reset" component of Setup, I"ll mock something up and add it to Git.

Relatedly, changing the band of the private network results in a silent disconnection. We should do the same thing we do during initial setup and say 'the router is restarting, please reconnect to the network to continue.'

For Setup disconnect/reconnect, I saw this screen on the HOPE demo links. Is the request to revise this?
No, this is not a request to revise the 'Restarting' screen, but to come up with a similar treatment for the same situation on the Settings page. For instance, when you change the Band from 5 GHz to 2.4 GHz, you will be disconnected. It's a little confusing too, because your OS may not show you being disconnected, and the network you need to connect to has the same name as before.
