Enable wifi under GUI

Just to improve on the above suggestion a little bit, you don’t need to manually cat or edit any connman files - in fact you should not edit connman files directly. Instead to check if wifi is enabled:

connmanctl

then

technologies

If wifi is off use:

enable wifi

then

scan wifi

then

agent on

then

services

This will list found networks, then use connect with the long string to the right of the network you’re trying to connect to - for example

connect wifi_c83a35ca4314_535454657374_managed_psk

Tip: you can use tab completion so you don’t have to type every character.

Once connected the connection will be remembered and automatically used in the future.

Network settings will soon be added in the OSMC settings addon so this manual method (or entering the details during install) won’t be needed for the final version of OSMC.
