It depends on if the boot activity are creating noise issues such that the dongle is not recognized. There have been reports of wireless devices missing/not detected at boot, that the extension cable trick resolves. That implies noise related sensitivity may be different during the startup activities.If it is a noise issue wouldn't it cut out periodically? Because once I get it to work it stays working until I restart the pi.
But I will try to get a USB extension and give that a try.
You could also have oxidization or crud in the port or the dongle on the contacts. However, the fact that the issues crosses over multiple devices implies it is not related to a specific device or specific dongle. It might be related to a specific USB port.
