Configuring WiFi on NavQPlus

An alternative tool to connect NavQPlus to your local Wi-Fi network is the nmtui command. This command presents a GUI in your terminal to connect to Wi-Fi. The interface is relatively straightforward. To run nmtui, run the following command:

sudo nmtui

The preferred method as mentioned earlier is to use the non-GUI way to connect to Wi-Fi or manage your network connections, use nmcli by running the following command:

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

Once you are finished connecting to your local WiFi network, you can exit the application. Your NavQPlus will continue to connect to this WiFi network even after a reboot.
