Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues connecting to Wi-Fi, try the following steps:

• Ensure that the antennas are securely connected to the FAKRA connectors.
• Verify that the Wi-Fi network credentials (SSID and password) are correct.
• If the issue persists, restart the NetworkManager service and try connecting again.

  sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
