??? question "How do I connect to multiple Wifi networks?"
|
||||||
|
There are 2 ways to do this
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Recommended:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can stack wifi networks in `/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Example:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
update_config=1
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
network={
|
||||||
|
ssid="SSID1"
|
||||||
|
psk=abcdef0123456789
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
network={
|
||||||
|
ssid="SSID2"
|
||||||
|
psk=abcdef0123456789
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
network={
|
||||||
|
ssid="SSID3"
|
||||||
|
psk=abcdef0123456789
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Create your PSK using this command: `wpa_passphrase 'MyNetwork' 'P@assw0rd' >> /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The second way is to use NetworkManager which is an alternitive but not recommended
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
# rw
|
||||||
|
# su -
|
||||||
|
# pacman -S networkmanager
|
||||||
|
# nmcli device wifi list
|
||||||
|
# nmcli device wifi connect SSID1 password PASSWORD # Is needed to make the initial wifi connection
|
||||||
|
# nmcli device wifi connect SSID2 password PASSWORD # Is needed to make the seconadry wifi connection
|
||||||
|
# nmcli connection up SSID1/SSID2 # You can switch from 1 wifi network to another
|
||||||
|
# nmcli connection show # This shows a list of the correct connections / green shows connected state, white shows disconnected state
|
||||||
|
# nmcli connection modify SSID1 connection.autoconnect-priority 1 # This will make the first SSID the main one if you are in range of both
|
||||||
|
# nmcli connection modify SSID2 connection.autoconnect-priority 2 # If this is disconnected, it will switch to the first and visa versa
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Here are some additional commands and caveats
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
nmcli device wifi list
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
??? note "if you type nmcli and get the following error"
|
||||||
|
"nmcli (1.44.0) and NetworkManager (Unknown) versions don't match. Restarting NetworkManager is advised. Error: NetworkManager is not running."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
# systemctl list-unit-files --all #look for networkmanager, if its disabled, enable it and start the service
|
||||||
|
# systemctl enable NetworkManager.service
|
||||||
|
# systemctl start NetworkManager.service
|
||||||

Double check your wiring as per [the documentation](/README.md#setting-up-the-v2). Make sure you placed the relays (G3VM-61A1) in the correct orientation. The relays for switches (Power, Reset) have a different orientation than the ones for LEDs.
