STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the networks widget
2. Select a known router you wish to put in a password for to connect
3. Wait a bit for the wifi connections to be re-scanned (this needs change the wifi ap order)
4. Try to connect

OBSERVED RESULT
KDE will attempt to use the password for the known router to connect to a different unkown router that was in the same position in the list previously as the known router

EXPECTED RESULT
KDE will attempt to use the password for the known router instead of trying to connect to the unkown router because it was in the same list order
