OSMC Foregets my WIFI Password

[nemac]

I’m using the latest OSMC on a Pi4. I’ve had this problem since I started using OSMC. Sometimes my WiFi glitches (I hear the notification sound from OSMC) and then it reconnects (another notification sound) and OSMC looses the WiFi connection. When I go to reconnect through MyOSMC I have to reenter the password which is a PITA because it’s a long password. Why doesn’t OSMC remember my password? Is there anything I can do to store the password permanently?

Logs might show why the password is not remembered. Maybe the MAC is changing on the AP for some reason? This would explain the dropouts

How do I connect to wifi from the command line using connmanctl?

thanks.

To do so you’ll either need to temporarily connect Ethernet and run the command via an SSH session, or plug in a Keyboard and exit Kodi to log in at a local console session: Once you’re logged into a command prompt the following demonstrates enabling wifi, scanning for networks and connecting to an authenticated network: osmc@rpi2:~$ connman…
