nmcli is a command‐line tool for controlling NetworkManager.
Disconnect:
nmcli d disconnect iface wlan0
Connect:
nmcli d wifi connect <WiFiSSID> password <WiFiPassword> iface wlan0
Just change wlan0, <WiFiSSID>, <WiFiPassword> to reflect your setup.
If WiFi info already saved, easier way:
Disconnect:
nmcli c down id <WiFiConn>
Connect:
nmcli c up id <WiFiConn>
<WiFiConn> name of connection as it was save in NetworkManager (Check nmcli c).
Myself prefer nmcli d disconnect iface wlan0 & nmcli c up id <WiFiConn> which have minimum input from myside.
