      Ok, small problem. I have a wifi dongle that came from a raspi starter kit, and it works on any other OS I've tried. Recalbox, the one which has half of its best features on wifi (like Kodi and rom transferring), doesn't work with it. This is a shame, because Recalbox is probably the most usable gaming OS out there. To be specific, it is a Realtek RTL8188CU Wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0 Network Adapter. I tried the config thing, but that didn't work.

        Does Internet work if you use a physical connection?   I've had a couple of recalbox's that wouldn't connect to a network no matter what, WiFi or hardwire. The only thing that fixed the issue was a full reinstall.

              recalbox supports WPA only.
