Configuring WiFi on NavQPlus

To connect NavQPlus to a WiFi network, use the nmcli command. The interface is relatively straightforward, to connect with nmcli, run the following command:

sudo nmcli device wifi connect <network_name> password "<password>"

If struggling to connect to a network, see if it is visible by running:

sudo nmcli device wifi list

Once connected to the WiFi network the NavQPlus will continue to connect to that network even after a reboot.

About nmcli

Note that the priority of connections can be set as well as removing connections. For more information see the nmcli linux command. https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/noble/en/man1/nmcli.1.html
