Hi All,
I’m unable to connect Magni to my local wifi network,
when I do a pifi list seen , it returns nothing,
Tried instructions here:

Do I have to change the hostname and also password first? in order for Magni to connect to my local wifi ?
Thanks,
Kind Regards,
Roger
Yeaah that function’s currently broken to my knowledge, but as long as you know your wifi’s name and password it’s a superfluous.
You don’t have to change the robot’s password, just change the hostname using:
sudo pifi set-hostname robotname
then
sudo pifi add networkname password
And it should work after a reboot. If it doesn’t then the robot probably doesn’t get enough signal from the network to connect. The Pi’s PCB antenna is rather weak anyhow.
Hi @MoffKalast
My network name has two words and a space in between , is this allowed in the command? you mentioned ,
Thank you
Ah yes indeed that does require you to put the name in quotes, like so:
sudo pifi add "network name with spaces" password
That’s just how bash scripting works in general.
I got it working, thank you for your help
