Hi @Zing
Thanks a lot for your information!
I checked the links and I'd say, yes that helps. I switched the emulator in the metadata to MAME2010 / 2015 and then it worked (I think liberto was selected as default and that did not work).
Thanks also to everyone and of course the french developer team for the amazing work. And yes, if there's translation or technical documentation, or maybe programming needed, I'm happy to contribute in the future.

Hi all,
after some analysis I finally found the issue now. I analyzed a few things: WiFi channel width, encryption, config, password with/without special chars etc.
Note: it is no problem if special chars in the PW are used and it seems it is also no need to escape them anymore!
I found in my WiFi router security settings WPA2 with SHA256 being set which caused the client RECALBOX failing to connect and appear shortly as LEGACY device and disappear afterwards. However, the option WPA2 without SHA256 was also set and I expected a connection fallback to this option which did not happen!
Therefore I opened an issue to the project on Gitlab, please find a more detailed description here: https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox/-/issues/1492
The workaround now was to de-select the option WPA2 with SHA256, or create an additional VAP (virtual access point) for clients which do not support WPA2-SHA256.
Hopefully, this thread and information should help also other members which have troubles to connect. Looking forward for your feedback and a happy new year 2021!

As already mentioned from @Zing check my thread if that helps:

I had the problem that WPA2 with SHA256 was enabled in my router menu / options in wireless security, however this does not work because of a bug in the current version 7.1.1. I tested various options and created an issue for resolving the bug for the project on gitlab, the issue has been found and will be fixed with the next release, check (recalbox developers on gitlab):
https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox/-/issues/1492
a. Check your router menu / wireless and security options
As workaround please set "WPA2 only" (e.g. with AES etc.) but without "SHA256" in your router menu.
b. Check your recalbox.conf file, if the following is set:
region is set to FR or JP? In my case, US worked as well
enable ertm = 1
Do you have any special chars in your PW? In the recalbox.conf it is mentioned that you need to escape these special chars, but it seems that this is not needed anymore.
Cheers,
