This document explains how to connect to a Wi-Fi network on a Linux system using command-line tools. It covers the following methods:

• nmcli (NetworkManager CLI)

• nmtui (NetworkManager Text User Interface)

Prerequisites

• A functional Wi-Fi interface (e.g., wlan0 or wlp2s0)

• Required tools installed:

  sudo apt update
  sudo apt-get install network-manager
  

  • For Method A & B: NetworkManager with nmcli and nmtui

Method A: Using nmcli (NetworkManager)

1. Check Wi-Fi Device Status

nmcli device status

Ensure that the wireless interface is listed and not marked as unavailable.

2. Enable Wi-Fi

nmcli radio wifi on

3. Scan for Available Networks

nmcli device wifi list

4. Connect to the Wi-Fi Network

sudo nmcli device wifi connect "<SSID>" password "<WiFi-Password>"

Replace <SSID> with the name of the network and <WiFi-Password> with the password.

5. Check Connection

nmcli connection show --active

Method B: Using nmtui (Text User Interface)

nmtui provides a text-based user interface to configure network settings.

1. Start nmtui

sudo nmtui

2. Select “Activate a connection”

Use arrow keys to navigate and select the Wi-Fi network from the list.

3. Enter Password and Connect

Once selected, input the Wi-Fi password if prompted and press Enter.

4. Verify the Connection
