Can't connect to wifi

#1

I am using Debian for Rock Pi S.
I followed the manual.

# nmcli r wifi on
# nmcli dev wifi
IN-USE SSID MODE CHAN RATE SIGNAL BARS SECURITY

# nmcli dev wifi connect “kimhong” password “20150606”
Error: Connection activation failed: (7) Secrets were required, but not provided.

I also tried.

# nmcli dev wifi connect kimhong password 20150606
Error: Connection activation failed: (7) Secrets were required, but not provided.

I am using WPA2PSK + AES.
And I don’t have a wifi antenna. Is it the reason??

I am really satisfied with my Rock Pi S.
But the wifi connection is so bad, even with antenna and within 30cm to wifi router.
I am using Rock Pi S as convertor midi controller to artnet signal, but it lags so much with wifi. It uses very little data and the response time is very important to me.
I tested it home and my office. But the result is same.
Now I am only using wire.
Are you guys satisfied with Rock Pi S wifi?

Hi kimwida,
did you found a solution and are you now satisfied with the wifi performance?
I still struggle with the Wifi performance, it is not useable.

Do you have a wifi antenna?
If you have it, it will be a little better.
But now I only use wire. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Anyway I am very satisfied with my rock pi s.
