I've had my Pi5 since release and have been using it on and off successfully using a none 5amp power supply but recently I have been experiencing issues with the wi-fi disconnecting randomly. The biggest change is that I've installed the Pi5 in a new Pironman 5 - NVMe M.2 SSD PCIe Mini PC Case and I'm wondering if this is resulting in my the issue?
- Can power supply issues result in intermittent wifi disconnections?
- Steel case, could this be causing connectivity issues resulting in disconnections?
- NVMe adaptor & SSD will obviously have a power draw is this an issue?
- The case includes various LED's & OLED display yet more power drain?
I'm happy to invest in a suitable power supply if power is a possible cause of my connectivity issues.
Can anyone recommend an alternative to the official Pi power supply, ideally I'd like to purchase something similar to this:

But struggling to find anything that delivers 5v 5amp most are 3amp.
Metal cases most certainly do cause issues with wireless comms.

It's easy to check. Take it out of the case and try it. Does the issue go away?
