      Pi Model or other hardware: (2 B)
      Power Supply used: (Samsung 5v 2a model:EP-TA20EWE)
      RetroPie Version Used (4.2):
      Built From: (Pre made SD Image)
      USB Devices connected: bleutooth adapter wifi dongel EDIMAX EW-7811Un
      Controller used: 8bitdo nes30 pro

      Everytime i shutdown the sytem and reboot it after a few days my wifi won't connect. I use a NESPi case.
      When i reboot the system once connected i stay connected.
      My first startup is Kodi.

        how far away is the pi from the wifi source, and what, if anything is between them? signal strenght might be too low to keep it alive. i had the same issue before changing the channel & boosting the wi-fi signal in my router configuration.

          I think it's a powersaver issue caused by this wifi plug
