Hi folks, My ISP replaced my old modem with the new one. I changed my WiFi Authentication key and the name of the WiFi network. Then I made Network Manager to "forget" my old WiFi. Network Manager finds my new WiFi but I cannot connect to it. When "Authentication Key is required" dialog pops up and the key is entered,j Connect button remains grayed out/disabled. Thus there is no way to get through but pressing Cancel button. I'm running Debian Stretch. Could somebody help. It's quite urgent now. Thanks. I had a similar problem with a new wifi router. Under KDE I set
the network manager settings dialog to set up a wifi connection
including a password for WAP2. It wouldn't connect. You can view
the password in NM and it looked correct ... I checked several
times but no luck. I wiped out the password by holding down the
backspace key and I noticed I might have entered a leading space
by mistake. So try to put the password in the network manager
settings dialog paying close attention to what you entered. If
that fails go back to the router and re-enter the password again
just in case you have some invisible characters there. This might
also happen with the SSID. If all else fails I would set the SSID
to something simple (say 3 characters) and the same for the
password just for a test to see if you can connect. Also make
sure the WPA2 is set to AES encryption. This is the recommended
setting and I know it works with my NM in debian testing. --
