Can't connect to Wifi ("Failed to change network settings")

[zaneclaes]

Describe the issue you are experiencing

Long time user of HA, attempting to install for the first time via HASS (Raspberry Pi imager installation).

After initially configuring a headless install via an ethernet connection, I cannot finish setup (i.e., change over to Wifi).

The error is:

Failed to change network settings Object does not exist at path '/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnections/6'

The connection number at the end changes (I have tried 2 installs on 2 RPis connecting to 3 different WiFi networks).

Note that the Wifi network is detected and signal strength is 100%. I enter my WEP password and attempt to save, which is when I see the error:

What operating system image do you use?

Home Assistant OS 15.2 (RPI 4/400)

What version of Home Assistant Operating System is installed?

core-2025.5.3

Did the problem occur after upgrading the Operating System?

No

Hardware details

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Install the OS via RPi imager, per https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/raspberrypi

Can you check the Host logs for any errors and share it?

[zaneclaes]

The error appears to have changed slightly with this test, but here is the latest:

[zaneclaes]

Here's a tail of the log file. n.b., my WAN is currently offline (this is installed in our RV, so I don't want to pay for Starlink more than I need to). You'll see related WAN errors, but my original testing happened when the WAN was online. The log is noisy also because I had the ethernet unplugged (there's not a good route inside the RV, which is the whole reason I wanted to use WiFi).

These are Core logs, to find out what's happening with network, we need Host logs. The link I posted should lead you there directly, or just select them in the top left dropdown on the Logs page.

There hasn't been any activity on this issue recently. To keep our backlog manageable we have to clean old issues, as many of them have already been resolved with the latest updates. Please make sure to update to the latest Home Assistant OS version and check if that solves the issue. Let us know if that works for you by adding a comment 👍 This issue has now been marked as stale and will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.
