Posted: Wed Jul 17, 2024 1:08 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] nmtui doesn't find my home wi-fi |
|
|
I dual boot Gentoo (beginner) and EndeavourOS. I use nmtui on both OSes to connect to the internet. I've been using Gentoo for 1 or 2 months now and have been able to connect to all the wi-fi routers that I tried. Until I got home from university and realized I can't connect to my home Wi-fi. It straight up doesn't show up in nmtui. On EndeavourOS I can connect just fine, but on Gentoo it doesn't even show up.
I don't really even know what info I should be pasting here.
Be sure to let me know if I can help with more info.

Oh btw I use mullvad VPN if that changes anything, but I do that on other devices and I'm still able to connect to the internet. I'm currently on my phone's hotspot since I don't have another option. |

If you have full control over the router settings, disable WPA while leaving WPA2 enabled on the wifi.
If this is not possible, then enable the tkip USE on net-wireless/wpa_supplicant to enable the less secure and deprecated method which is confusing wpa_supplicant when both are present. |

Yup, you were right!
I couldn't get to the settings of the router since the default gateway kept loading something without actually showing the page.
But adding the USE flag, updating wpa_supplicant and rebooting the system worked.
Thank you so much! |

If you can now get to the router, with wireless working over the deprecated and insecure TKIP, I suggest you use this opportunity to fix the router, then disable TKIP again. |

I can't access the default gateway address from the browser it doesn't load. It seems to be loading something but never finishes. |

Not all routers are configured by visiting the default gateway in a browser. Consult your owner's manual for how to configure this one. |
