        Every time I try to connect to the network it just closes, doesn't matter if the password is right it still won't work. Maybe I can try to connect on the terminal to see what error there is? I am using Pixel 3a XL.

          also on mine device, miatoll - note 9 pro, i reported it https://gitlab.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/-/issues/2218
          it seems you can init connection with

          nmcli dev wifi list

          sudo nmcli dev wifi connect "AP WPA3-Only" password "xyz"

          btw what is your network? WPA3 personal only?

            @uxes Ok I tried those commands, although I was having problems using the terminal on my phone. I can't figure out how to copy and paste the password into the terminal. I need to do Crtl-Shift-C right? I am using WPA3-Personal on OpenWRT btw.

                I used journalctl to check and these are the logs.

                I tried using the --ask option for nmcli and this is what happens.

                      not sure how to help you with terminal application with clipboard, i have no experience with pasting in there, I am applying those rules via ssh connection from my pc, other option is adb shell via usb cabale

                      noble will be released in the future, within a few months, since I am not able to install it on my phone (others do) I can try to cherry pick those commits into focal's devel

                        @Il-Dorato said in Can't connect to WPA3 Wi-Fi networks, only WPA2 ...:

                        I can't figure out how to copy and paste the password into the terminal.

                        Long press in the terminal window and a menu should pop up, allowing you to paste text from the clipboard.

                          @uxes Okay thanks, I will pick the development and then update if you do it. I am about to change my other router to WPA3 so I won't be able to use it soon... I figured it out after, I just use adb shell or ssh it is way easier.
