Orange Pi Zero 2W repeatedly asks for Wi-Fi password

Spy · Monday at 01:45 PM

Hello everyone,

I am using an Orange Pi Zero 2W with a graphical user interface (GUI). I downloaded and installed the official Orange Pi Zero 2W image.

Unfortunately, I keep running into a Wi-Fi connection issue. After booting, the system repeatedly asks me to enter my Wi-Fi password. If I don’t enter it, I have no internet connection.

What’s interesting is:

If I disable and re-enable Wi-Fi in the network manager, it automatically reconnects to the known network without asking for the password again.

Alternatively, a system reboot also restores the Wi-Fi connection automatically.

I have already seen online that this seems to be a known issue, but I haven’t found a proper or permanent solution so far.

Has anyone experienced similar behavior or knows how to configure Wi-Fi so that it connects reliably and permanently without repeatedly asking for the password?

Thanks in advance!
