Comment 1 Justin Zobel 2024-05-04 03:05:28 UTC
Is it asking you to connect to a specific Wi-Fi network? If so, it might be that you've setup Trusted networks in Settings to only allow your phone to connect using one more specific networks.
Comment 2 Ray Marx 2024-05-04 10:00:13 UTC
   No it's just saying that I have to connect to a WiFi network, not a
   specific one. My Motorola Razr Plus doesn't have any trusted networks
   settings. It has thinkphone security enabled by default with no way to
   modify those settings.

Yes, I believe KDE Connect only works when both devices are on the same network, which means you'll either need to be on the same WiFi network or (possibly) on a shared network like a VPN.

   That's unfortunate but, understandable.
