      Hi All,

      My wifi key is composed by two simple quotes ie: "IDon'tlikePeter'sBook".
      Despiste many tries I don't know how to setup it. I have tried with ' but id does not work.
      Do you have a recommendation ?
      Where & How

      • Where: in the conf file ? in the WebUI ? On the TV ?
      • How: How to baskslash this password ? ', '', ... ?

      Thank you for your help.

      K.

          Hi paradadf,

          Thank you for your answer, I already tried, but without any success. Do I have to do it on the TV ? On the web interface ? On the config file ?
          Already tried all, don't work.
          Despite, if I change the key to my router with a simplier one, it work, so I really think the ' is not well saved within recalbox setup.

          Thank you for your help.
