Hi @dhananjay,

Is this the custom board?

If so a quick solution would be to add a cron job that would start the WiFi service when the controller is booted.

Cron Job Example

  • Make an executable file
touch wifi_startup.bash

sudo chmod +x wifi_startup.bash
  • Edit file and you bash commands for starting e.g.
#!/usr/bin/env bash

sleep 20s
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
  • Save file and run cron job
sudo crontab -e
  • Add a command to start wifi each time the board is rebooted
@reboot /home/pi/wifi_startup.bash
  • Save and now it should run each time
