Neither version is quite grammatical; what an ordinary native-speaker
would say is something like:
Select desired network name (ESSID) to attempt to connect to.
However, I suspect a lot of people would find this triple "to"
offputting; even native-speakers are often taught a taboo against
ending sentences with prepositions. You could reduce the number of
repeats by taking the "attempt" part for granted:
Select desired network name (ESSID) to connect to.
Or you could mangle it to shift the final preposition:
Select the network name (ESSID) to which a connection should be attempted.
But I suspect the best solution is:
Select desired network name (ESSID) for connection attempt.
