[Solved] Connect to a different network

[zealous spade]

I have a problem. I am connected to my Raspberry Pi over ssh to my laptop. Both my laptop and Raspberry Pi are connected to my mobile hotspot. I need to connect to my home network but I can't connect my Raspberry Pi to a display as I do not have the cable with me. My only solution is to find a way to connect to a different network while already connected to a network.

I was using nmcli which I used to connect to my hotspot a few days ago. However, for that to work I need to see a list of networks. When I run the command:```
sudo nmcli dev wifi list

you could try rescanning sudo nmcli dev wifi rescan

You can try nmtui it should work

I tried that earlier and it didn't seem to show up

I entered the Activate a connection section

And only showed my hotspot

it happens sometimes, when you disconnect it all other networks shows up

The only issue was, I had to connect over SSH and had no way to connect my Raspberry Pi to a monitor. If I disconnected from my hotspot on the Pi, I would have no way to do anything on it. If I had my cable, I would have just disconnected and done it that way.

I am just glad nmcli has a command to rescan, otherwise I would be completely just stuck
