  • Is this a desktop or a server? If it is a desktop, then NetworkManager will probably disallow other methods to connect.

  • Are you using Ubuntu? Which version? Do you want to reload an existing connection, or are you attempting the initial setup? What sort of authentication does the wifi use?

  • @singrium Those old answers assume that the encryption is WEP. That's not likely the case today.

I suggest that you do the following steps:

nmcli device wifi rescan
nmcli device wifi list
nmcli device wifi connect my_lil_router password 1234567890

Of course, substitute your exact details here.
