Utilizing the Command Line in Manjaro to Change WiFi Connection

You should always understand how to utilize the tools within Manjaro. One of those tools is the Network Manager cli. We will utilize the Network Manager cli to look up the networks available and change them.

1. Open up a terminal window and run the following to see available networks:

nmcli device wifi list

I really like this interface as it show the network availability ranges in color groups.

2. To select a network then run the following:

nmcli d wifi connect <name of SIDD> password '<router password>'

Of course the d stands for devices. Then we will utilize the connect command and then select the name of the router. We can then add the password around single ticks to help with wild characters in our password.

Thats It! You can now utilize the Network Manager cli to make your changes within Manjaro.
