+# How to connect to internet in console mode or recovery mode
+
+
+> Note: This how-to assumes that user has a system where internet was working properly until something went wrong.

+
+
+Sometimes you may need to boot in to console mode or recovery mode instead of Plasma desktop in order to do maintenance or repair.

+You may find that wifi does not work in these modes.
+
+## Wifi
+To connect to wifi from command line you use the `nmcli` command. Example:
+
+To determine what device to connect run this command:
+
+```
+$ nmcli dev status
+```
+
+This will list any available network devices. In this example we know that we are wifi but not wifi-p2p and the command lists wifi device as wlp4s0, so to connect:
+
+```
+$ nmcli --ask dev con wlp4s0
+```
+
+This should ask for your wifi password and then connect your wifi.
+Now you can do any maintenance or repairs that require internet access.
+
+## Ethernet connection
+
+If you are using ethernet connection, to connect is basically the same:
+
+```
+$ nmcli dev status
+```
+
+If your ethernet device is listed as an example as elp4s0:
+
+```
+$ nmcli dev con elp4s0
+```
+
+The `--ask` option is not normally needed, as your system already has permission for this.
+Wifi permissions are normally separate and unique from system permissions.
