Weak Bluetooth Signal
I was excited to play some 4 player couch multiplayer games with friends, only to find out once you reach to 3 wireless controllers it starts getting weak and everyone controllers starts dropping and reconnecting.

Any suggestions on a bluetooth booster,adapter, or dongle. So i can use my wireless controllers like any other console.

maybe you could try turning the deck around so the backside is facing the controllers

What controllers are you using? What dock? Is it in an enclosed space? I had to open my entertainment center door to get mine to work and I had the back facing out. I found the steam controllers to be hot garbage until I updated their firmware. The 8bitdo ones are really really good and that's what I switched to in my house. They tend to stay connected further away. Even after I updated my steam controllers they still had way less range than the 8bitdo ones.

Yes, there are better BT devices, but i'm not sure if USB devices are any better.
Maybe you can try BT 5.1, 5.2 USB dongle with some good chipset inside.
