      Well connected in the sense that it saw all the available Wifis for a brief moment.

        @trigger_death Power down the Pi in the proper manner. Restart your home router while the Pi is off. Keep the router off for at least a minute. Reboot the router.Wait until it sorts its'self out. Re-connect the Pi to the electricity. What happens?

                @trigger_death your wifi is off. Do you have an ethernet cable and access to your router?

                      If you mean connect my Pi to ethernet, it's been on ethernet this entire time.

                            I didn't notice any differences. Like I said I've been on ethernet since the start. :P

                              @trigger_death DO YOU HAVE A CUSTOM SETUP? IF NOT PLEASE REFLASH THE IMAGE. IT WILL BE QUICKER THAN MANUALLY CONFIGURING THE CONNNECTIVITY.

                                Nope, I don't have a custom setup but... wouldn't reflashing the image erase everything I've modified on my RetroPie since setting it up?

                                  @trigger_death it would... but it means you have a fairly standard setup. Just as a by the way have you tried just reconnecting to wifi via the ES menu?

                                    That's how I've been trying to connect to the Wifi the entire time. Through the RetroPie Wifi App.

                                      @trigger_death Have you tried via the desktop or through the commmand line interface /terminal?

                                        I haven't installed any desktop interface and I'm not familiar with how to do it through terminal.

                                          Also I'm flashing a new image to a spare Micro SD I have.

                                            @trigger_death go to the desktop. I assume it is PIXEL. Top right hand corner. Do you see a wifi logo or a broken connection?
