WiFi
Connecting to a WiFi network
We suggest using the nmtui command to connect to WiFi networks.
This command will show a terminal user interface for connecting to WiFi networks. It is recommended to connect to the NavQPlus over Ethernet before attempting to connect to WiFi.
Bugs and workarounds
<<<TODO review below for correctness based on latest Linux image 11/15/2022>>>
Ping spikes
Bug:
Currently when connected to a WiFi network and not connected to an Ethernet network, the NavQPlus will experience ping spikes in the range of up to 500ms. This is due to the WiFi chip attempting a periodic WiFi scan.
Workaround:
Currently there is no workaround for this issue. We are actively looking for a solution.
DNS bug
Bug:
You will notice that the NavQPlus is not able to connect to the internet after connecting to a WiFi network and rebooting. This is because NetworkManager will attempt to set a new DNS nameserver every boot.
Workaround:
To fix this, please follow the instructions below.
Delete /etc/resolv.conf
Create a new /etc/resolv.conf with the following contents:
Create a new file at /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/90-dns-none.conf
Once you have completed these steps, reboot and you should have access to the internet over your WiFi connection.
