      Here's the page for configuring WiFi on the Pi - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Wifi/. You can also look in the official Raspbian documentation - https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/README.md.

          If you have SSH access, then use raspi-config directly (sudo raspi-config) to configure the WiFi.

              Can you check if you have an IP address in RetroPie, after you unplug the cable ? There's an IP address menu in RetroPie, which you can open and it will show you the current network address.

                  If you run from the command line:

                  iwconfig

                  then it shoul show you if you the WiFi is successfully connected.

                  How are you connecting to the Pi via SSH ? Are you using an IP address or the hostname (retropie) ?

                    I am using the IP address on port 22
                    I am using a different wifi for the laptop with ssh
                    I am using faster internet that has no password but requires guest password through browser
                    I have successfully connected internet to pi4 without use of browser with terminal and wifi config file in retro pie I can't access files
                    I don't know if I can use host name so I use pi instead

                      Make sure you're using the right (WiFi) address when trying to connect to the IP. You can't use the same IP as the ethernet/wired connection.

                      I don't know if I can use host name so I use pi instead

                      The hostname is not Pi - it's retropie.

                        Hostname works but only with Ethernet
                        Tried without Ethernet just continues trying to connect
                        I usedhostname retropie
