Is it possible to connect to a Wi-Fi network that is not in range (and hence not listed on the list of Wi-Fi networks nearby), so that when it is it automatically connects?

I cannot select the Wi-Fi network currently because it is not listed, but I want to save the credentials for the network before I bring the device within range.

Is this possible with NetworkManager?

  • What do you mean? Of course if it's not in range you cannot connect pretty much be definition of "not in range". I guess you want to configure? If so then it's the same as if it is in range, so it's not clear what you're asking. Commented Mar 2, 2018 at 16:38
  • Are you running Ubuntu - if not the reference to NetworkManager is spurious. The answer to your question is totally different for Raspbian. Commented Mar 2, 2018 at 23:15

You can configure it as long as you know the SSID and the credentials.

A more detailed process is listed here, but the basics are to create/modify /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf with contents similar to :

network={ ssid="yourSSID" psk="networkpassword" }
