Hi Gary, esp. in a remote location like that, can you use ethernet instead of wi-fi? I ran into a similar problem recently with an RPi-zero that was losing wi-fi, even though it's right across the room with nothing in between. From what I found researching solutions, in some cases, it takes a reboot to recover. In any case, I ended up writing a script that will try the 2-3 non-boot things to recover wi-fi, and reboot when all else fails. I can share it, but it's got a few dependencies... Not positive it works, since the device seems to have stayed up since I set it up in cron, and I haven't checked the system logs. There were a couple of other minor things I updated related to some boot warnings with wi-fi.
