[westrud]

You may change this file using nano via an SSH connection.

@westrud I understand that you're stuck in this part, but I don't understand what problem you're having ...
To connect via SSH:

@Zing Open \recalboxgpi\share\system\recalbox.conf and make the same operation with the line ; wifi.key =

don't understand this. i got up to changing the wifi key in Open the file recalbox-backup.conf, go to line starting with;wifi.key =

the wifi key was already in there so i saved it, and i don't understand this next part at all was is ssh connection is that putty, and it only ask for my ip address

@westrud

putty

Using Putty is an alternative, it is not a requirement, if you can edit the file without Putty, skip this step.

the wifi key was already in there so i saved it

you removed the ; the beginning of the line? It is essential that you remove it, otherwise it will not work.

i got up to changing the wifi key in Open the file recalbox-backup.conf

\recalboxgpi\share\system\ recalbox.conf

Are two different files, did you edit the 2 as the tutorial says?
You state that the password was already there, I believe you did not realize that there are two different files and you are editing only one file...

No.

I deduce that you are a windows user, so use Putty as suggested, read this tutorial:
https://recalbox.gitbook.io/tutorials/access/root-access-via-terminal
And, watch this video to help (enable subtitles):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt4aHZ2Xo2g&list=PL2oNQ0AT7fx2ExiSNrfHUzga5GnogI4sh&index=12&ab_channel=Recalbox

Understanding how it works, go back to the original tutorial:
https://recalbox.gitbook.io/documentation/basic-manual/getting-started/preparation-and-installation-of-recalbox/retroflag-gpi-case

You supposedly already did the first part of the process, and you are already in that part:
"Once EmlulationStation is up, you should be connected to your WIFI"

Use Putty to access this path "\recalboxgpi\share\system\recalbox.conf"

@Zing I have the menu and one of the selections is updates not update system,

and Update the system". If a pop up display the message "an update is available" or "no update available" then your recalbox have an access to the Internet and so, to your local network
don't have this !!!! or don't know ow to access this

@westrud Sorry, I can't understand you. You need to describe better what you are doing and what is happening, otherwise I am not able to help you.
First, just to confirm:
What is your hardware?
What version of Recalbox are you using? (say the version, don't say "the last one")
Did you build your Recalbox yourself, or did you buy everything ready, or did you download a ready image from the internet?
