I installed nmcli in my Raspberry PI 4. I connected to my local WiFi and after a while I got an image from my SD card. Right now I use that image file in another SD card with another Raspberry PI 4, but when I tried to connect to my local wifi I got this error:
Connection activation failed: (7) Secrets were required, but not provided.
When I tried to connect to my phone hotspot it worked very well. Again when I tried to connect to my local network it wouldn't work. I tried to delete my last connection and connect again but it doesn't work. **Update:** I discovered that the internal Wi-Fi on the Raspberry Pi does not function well when the power supply is insufficient, such as when using a phone charger. This issue is attributed to the power management of the Raspberry Pi 4, resulting in errors. However, you have the option to use an external Wi-Fi dongle instead of relying on the internal Wi-Fi. This external dongle performs better in terms of sending and receiving signals and provides improved coverage.
