# Wi-Fi
|
||||
|
||||
Wi-Fi is a type of wireless network protocol that is used for local area networks.
|
||||
On [Linux-based systems](/wiki/linux.md) there are different programs that handle the Wi-Fi
|
||||
connection.
|
||||
|
||||
- [WPA Supplicant](/wiki/linux/wpa_supplicant.md) is used for WPA2 and WPA3 connections among
|
||||
others.
|
||||
- [NetworkManager](/wiki/linux/networkmanager.md) is used for various network connections.

A simple fix for many problems is a restart of [WPA Supplicant](/wiki/linux/wpa_supplicant.md)
|
||||
aswell as reenabling the Wi-Fi device using [NetworkManager](/wiki/linux/networkmanager.md).
|
||||
This can be done by first restarting WPA Supplicant as explained in the
