      @darth_joghurt Which version of Recalbox are you using?
      Have you set up the system yourself, or are you using a ready-made downloaded image from the internet?
      Are you sure that the wifi did not connect? In my RPi3, sometimes when turning on the wifi shows as disconnected, but I can access the recalbox manager by the smartphone without any problem, you were only based on the information "disconnected" or tested?

        Hi, I had problems by configuring my 2,4 GHz WiFi using channel 12 and 13. At least with Pi3 B and latest Recalbox stable. Seems that Pi (or Recalbox?) does not support these channels.
        Maybe this helps...

          Hi, I used the latest stable version for the 3B and the Christmas-beta for the 3B+. I've set up the systems by myself, no pre-made images from the internet.
          The connection was testet by trying to get access through the manager.
          I've already changed the wifi channel to 8 but that didn't work too.

            @darth_joghurt is the SSID is found, it means wifi works and your router is seen by Recalbox. Besides, for an unkwnown reason yet it cannot connect, and I bet it's password related, or maybe some security on your router side. Just WPA2 ? Not enterprise preshared key or something like that ?

                No there are no special security settings on my router. My password is only numbers. All devices are allowed to connect to the router.

                      Hi guys, I have solved the problem. I thought I had the function "only allow known devices in the Wi-Fi" disabled and set to "allow all devices". Unfortunately, my router has not adopted the setting. After I changed it, everything worked
