Wifi not immediately available after bootup, patchy behaviour

[ruizscar]

The system requires around a minute to display the IP address and be ready to connect to wifi.
After IP address is displayed (having left and then returned to Info screen) and wifi is connected, folders have been accessed (but no files transferred)...the wifi can disconnect and the IP address is mysteriously no longer displayed.

If the cause is X game being played, pausing the game and checking the Info screen, the IP does not reappear even after several minutes of game being paused and leaving/returning to Info (PC Engine game)

While files are transferring there is no generally no issue.

Poor Wifi performance or dropped connections during gameplay may be unavoidable, but in a paused state surely not.

Setup:

• Device: [Raspberry Pi 5 2GB]
• OS version: [1.3]

Sorry I don't understand the issue.

I believe ruizscar is stating that:

1.) It takes about 1 minutes after boot for WiFi to connect, having confirmed via the Replay Information screen
2.) You do not connect to ReplayOS to transfer any files
2.) You start playing a game
3.) Having prior set the ReplayOS menu to pause gameplay on menu open, you pause the game for some time.
4.) After having a game paused on the menu for some time, you return to the Replay Information page and it no longer shows an IP address and WiFi has dropped.
5.) A Reboot is required to reconnect the WiFi and be able to transfer files to ReplayOS

I have actually experienced this scenario myself, this evening. I am running 1.3.0 on a RPi5.

1. Wifi is not available immediately upon boot-up. I expect that in the time (seconds) it takes me to navigate to Replay Info, the IP should already be visible
2. Wifi can disconnect for no apparent reason (more testing required, this might occur before any game has been started)
3. Wifi is not available while a game has been paused (more testing required, this might not occur with all games/systems)

Just booted up, and IP was visible immediately upon reaching Info screen.

But it was a new IP address.

Waiting a few more seconds, this IP disappeared.

Waiting more, the old IP reappeared. Connected to that IP.

Loaded a PC Engine game. Paused, and old IP is still there, still connected.

After loading several PC Engine games for over an hour, expecting the Wifi to still be connected, I go again to the Replay Info and discover the new IP address again! The connection lost!
