Autoconnect wifi

#1 Post by linexer2016 »

As a recent KDE adopter (at least on one of my PCs) I find myself asking a few "newbie" style questions which I hope won't annoy long time KDer's :)
I have researched the subject here and also on the wider net but the solutions offered for other distros don't seem to be readily visible in MX21 (at least as far as I can see). I've tried to click on the wifi connection icon and edit the connection to establish autologin to that connection but can't seem to find the relevant setting anywhere. I did read one post that said that if you don't select "all users can use this connection" when first establishing the connection you may have to delete and re-establish the connection all over again (something I would prefer to avoid). Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Ah thanks J, I just found it after your affirmation that it is in there in the settings. Don't know how I had previously overlooked it (too much XFCE in my system methinks) :)
