I am running Fedora 28 with the i3 window manager; thus, I need to use nmcli or some terminal-based way for connecting to wifi. I heard about nmcli, so I tried it. The problem is that when I try to run

nmcli device wifi list

I am only shown the wifi network I am currently connected to. It does not display any other networks...as if they don't exist. Any tips on what might be going on? General tips on using nmcli are also welcome.

It works for me, I can see other APs nearby. There shouls be an option for doing a scanning. Try that first. man nmcli.

@hhlp Those just show the wifi networks I have connected to in the past. It does not show new ones.
