      Hello, I have a Intel Wireless-AC 8265 in my Intel NUC. With Version 7.1 wifi worked fine. With Version 7.2 wifi stopped working. With Version 7.2.1 wifi works only if I connect with WPS to my router. After a Restart no Connection. I have to reconnect everytime with WPS. Switching Wifi ON/OFF in Menu does not make a change. Really strange 😞 Hope this is getting fixed in next release.

      EDIT: And yes I have made a fresh install of recalbox 👍

        @retroplayer88 How are you turning off Recalbox?
        Have you ever tried to manually add, with Recalbox turned off, the wifi name and password to the recalbox.conf file?

          Like I always do. Menu -->Shutdown Recalbox

          My Wifi SSID and key are correct in the recalbox.conf file. Also tried Region from JP to DE, no success. As I said 7.1 was running fine with my setup. I did not change anything, only update to 7.2 and then 7.2.1.

            @retroplayer88 Have you ever tried a factory reset, available through the advanced settings menu? This will not affect your personal files, but it will erase all custom settings.

              Yes, always the same behavior. Luckily my router is not too far away from my Intel-NUC (ModelNUC7i7BNH) so I can use it with Ethernet Cable. Hop you guys can fix that in the next Update. I think there must be a difference between 7.1 and 7.2.1 in terms of the Driver for my Intel Wireless-AC 8265 Chip.

              If you got a Beta that I can test send me a Link 👍

                @retroplayer88 @Emma I'm not a developer, I'm not even a team member, I'm "just" a moderator, I help keep the forum organized and I try to help users where possible before there's a need for developer intervention.
                I'll not "release" any betas, and it's not often that a fix is readily available.

                I recommend that one of you open an issue describing the problem and referencing this topic (and that the other confirm the issue):

                    @retroplayer88 hey, im not sure if recalbox works the same as retropie inside, but i was having wifi issues on the new retropie update, and it turns out i had to downgrade the drivers. maybe its possible the drivers need to be downgraded as well on recalbox?

                        You're lucky. Also updated to 7.2.2 but still the same issue.

                          @retroplayer88 Can you test with a totally clean installation, without any modification?

                            I will do but I have figured out that it has to do something with my Router (Fritz Box 7590). I created a Wifi Hotspot with my Android Smartphone and Recalbox connected successfully with my Smartphone! The strange thing is I didn't change nothing in my Router. All the settings are same as they were with Recalbox 7.1.1 when my Wifi was working.

                                @retroplayer88 With cable, does it work?
                                Try changing the encryption or password on the modem, as a test, it's a good idea to make the network name and password as simple as possible, with no special characters.
