A typical Fedora NetworkManager menu is illustrated in the following figure:. As we can see from the above menu, there were quite a few networks available at the time the screenshot was taken. Some of these appear to be secure networks as indicated by the icon next to the signal strength meter and some are unsecured. To configure access to an open network, simply click on the desired network in the menu. The NetworkManager icon will subsequently change to display two green dots and a spinning circle as it attempts to establish a connection and obtain an IP address if appropriate:.
To connect to a secured network, click on the corresponding network in the menu to display the authentication dialog:. Select the authentication type used by the base station and enter the appropriate authentication key and corresponding settings.
These settings will depend on the type and configuration of the wireless network to which a connection is being established. Contact the administrator of the network or the documentation for the base station for guidance on the correct settings to use. Once the information has been entered, click on the connect button, enter a keyring password if prompted to do so and wait while the NetworkManager establishes the connection indicated by the appearance of the signal strength meter icon in the desktop panel.
As an extra measure of security, some administrators configure their networks not to broadcast the SSID, essentially making the network invisible to anyone scanning for networks. In such scenarios, the only way to connect to the network is by specifying the SSID, thereby making it impossible for anyone without knowledge of the SSID to even attempt to establish a connection.
To connect to a hidden network from a Fedora system, begin by finding out the SSID and authentication key for the network from the network administrator. With this information available, left click on the NetworkManager icon in the top desktop panel and select Connect to Hidden Wireless Network from the resulting menu.
This will display the Connect to a Hidden Wireless Network dialog. So I got it working. It is basically as susi stated. Thanks again! Here is how:. If you have secure boot enabled, then you have to sign the kernel module. The documentation explains how. I just disabled secure boot in the BIOS settings. Maybe I sign the module later and readable secure boot.
Or I wait until it is officially integrated and signed in Fedora and enable secure boot then again. Wi-Fi signal on Windows was strong and stable. On the other hand, Wi-Fi signal on Fedora 34 was unstable, it fluctuated all the time.
Can reinstalling firmware solve such problem? I use tp-link TL-MR in my house. On the other hand, the Wi-Fi signal on notebook number 2 is strong and stable in Windows 10 Home, but in Fedora 34 it is mostly weak and unstable and also fluctuated.
From your post, do I have to uninstall something first and do I have to replace rtw89 with rtw88 before the installation? Sorry for asking in this question instead of starting a new topic and thank you so much in advance. The wifi is dependent upon several things for strength. The band is first, and the 2. Distance from the AP is a factor.
The closer you are the stronger the signal. Obstructions are a factor. Walls, furniture, appliances, etc. Other wifi APs in the area can interfere. Please consider upgrading to the latest version of your browser by clicking one of the following links.
