Because of the frequency of the OP's subject line, I think a lot of people will have ignored and delete the entire thread. I would start a new thread with a subject line that includes teres and DNS resolution. > I am surprised that I got iwd to connect to MY_OWN_WIFI: > > iwctl station wlan0 get-networks > iwctl station wlan0 connect MY_OWN_WIFI > > by copying psk file MY_OWN_WIFI.psk from another machine and then by putting > it into /var/lib/iwd/ on the Teres debian laptop. I don't recognise the iwctl command.

For many home users, it's likely just nameserver 192.168.1.1 where that's the address of their router (assuming *it's* been configured.) Cheers, David.
