Wifi issue any help please?

Hi I have a rpi 3b with sensehat attached and a touchscreen, been working fine most o fthe time, I updated it to Pixel desktop.

Issue I have is that daily I lose the ability to connect over wifi - I get an IP address from home dhcp router, I try and connect SSH using putty or tightvncserver but not reachable till I connect Ethernet, get a second IP address for that and then try and connect again on wifi and works fine, disconnect Ethernet and again works fine - will continue till next day or overnight shutdown when I have to go through above again.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I remember a similar problem a time back where the problem was not the Pi 3, but the router. Check the router and the logs to verify contact by Pi 3. Maybe that will help diagnose any problem.

Do you have any static IP? This could be a problem if one matches a dynamic one.
