      In my WiFi network I have a wpa2 key with 62 chars. Only numbers, small and big letters are used. No special chars.

      With this key I can't connect Recalbox 4.1 to my WiFi network. If I change the keylengh to eight chars, connection works fine. With 4.0.0 and with any other device, the 62 char key is no Problem.

      I've searched in the forum and with Google, but I can't find a solution. I've checked the entered key a lot of times to avoid mistakes. I've rebooted Recalbox and switched WiFi on/off several times. Still no connection.

      Anyway, thanks a lot for this new release. Great Work!

      Regards
      Marcus

          OK, this evening i try to find the magical border. If I remember right, the specs allow a maximum of 63 chars for a WPA2 key. So ist should work with my 62 chars.

          Thanks for your reply

            @substring Omg, I found my mistake! My password ist so secure, even I can't read it! 😂

            The problem was, "l" and "1" looks too similar in Notepad++, so I entered my password wrong.

            Please, can you close the tread and mark as fixed?

            Thanks a lot for your help!
