      Hi,

      I have a Pi4 4 GB using an official PSU. The Pi is running Retropie 4.6 Buster and has an HDMI screen attached. My WiFI network is WPA secured with PiHole running between the router and modem. I haven't had any issues connecting other WiFi devices including a Pi 4 running Octoprint

      Per the documentation, I have tried setting up WiFi using the setup tool in EmulationStation both by searching for WiFi and importing from the text file. My SSID shows up but cannot connect after inputting the key (the key is correct). I've also done a fresh install of Retropie and tried using the wpa_supplicant method to setup the network as well as using wicd-curses. I've also followed the instructions in docs for setting up through devices. Nothing has worked so far

      The setup tool tells me it can't connect, wicd-curses says it can't validate authentication. I've rebooted the Pi numerous times and rebooted my router just in case
