      Hi,

      my freshly updated Retropies, both on the RPi3, keep losing their Wifi connection after running a couple of minutes.

      Powersaving is tuned off.

      Any ideas on how to fix this?

      A few Updates ago everything worked perfectly fine.

      Thanks!

        Funny that, I was literally about to post the same thing except for a new ZeroW. Just to add my little bit, its a fresh install, updated then when trying to copy roms via Samba, after a few minutes the transfer speeds decrease to around 5k/sec (takes me back to the 56k modem days!)

        If I reboot I get good speeds back but only for a few minutes.

          Jap. Sounds like a fresh issue to me. I have the same slowdown then dropout effect. :(

            Hopefully its just a bad commit thats fixed fairly shortly. Interestingly I tried it (With both Zero & ZeroW) with a USB Wifi dongle and this actually hard locks the system after a few minutes, whereas a previous image works without any issues so clearly something going on surrounding wifi/network.
