What is the proper way of inputting SSID and PSK that have spaces?
Do I need double quotes? Single quotes? No quotes? Something else? Or is having spaces not allowed at all?
example:
ssid=“My WiFi Name”
psk=“Pass word with spaces”

I know the Wi-Fi standard permits spaces in the SSID name but it is not recommended. Most people use a hyphen or underscore instead of a space.
I’ve changed the SSID to have underscores.
Still need to know how to handle password with spaces though.
Hi, how did you solve the issue? I am in the same situation an would like to know how to input an SSID with spaces.
Thanks in advance.
I ended up following this link: Guide: Connecting Pi with Home Assistant OS to wifi (or other networking changes)
Specifically:
nmcli device wifi connect "YOUR SSID" password "YOUR WIFI PASSWORD"
That seemed to work. Furthermore, after weeks of trying things, I realized that for whatever reason, this doesn’t work on 5GHz band. The moment I tried connecting to my 2.4GHz band, it worked first try.
Good luck!
