I no longer have an iOS device, but I believe WiFi is turned off by default when the device goes into sleep mode to conserve battery life. This sounds like what is happening as it occurs every 20 minutes? However, this should not happen if connected to a power adapter? I don't believe you can turn sleep mode off from your device.
There apparently is an app, though not available on iTunes, that can keep the WiFi connection alive, but requires you to jailbreak(root) your device. Otherwise, connect the iPod to a power supply.
You may also want to contact the developer of the app and ask if UIRequiresPersistentWiFi is set to True, which is supposed to keep WiFi from turning off if an app requires it to do so? By iOS default, it's set to No.
