We need to know exactly what bluetooth adapter you have, and whether you're using the OS bluetooth stack with emulated bluetooth, or bluetooth passthrough. Also you did not mention what OS are you using, which is explicitly requested in the template.

This is one of those cases where there isn't much we can really do. Bluetooth is a pain in the ass and we aren't able to reproduce the issues. That means we can't really help without someone who has the issue debugging it themselves. In fact, I think that the forums would be better for "can't connect Wii Remote" issues because you're likely to run into other users that have had the same issues and figured out ways around it.

tl;dr: Bluetooth sucks.

If you wish further support, please go to the forums. Sorry we can't really do anything about this from here. https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/
