[RPi5] IP address suddenly blank

  • I booted up the Rpi5 today which was running the latest 0927 build and noticed all of the sudden that I had no WiFi connection at all. Everything was blank. I decided to downgrade all the way down the 0923 but even then, that didn't work. My router does show that the last time the Pi was active was on Sept 27th, so it definitely wasn't the build on the 23rd. I even tried each build after. I changed absolutely nothing in settings either. Just booted, and found that I have no WiFi. Thought I would update to the latest Sept 28th build through the USB drive, and that didn't fix it either. Here is what I show on the Pi under network settings. Then here is what the actual connections show. Signal quality at 100% as well as and IP address shown.

    I did also check on my router app to make sure that the Pi was not paused for some reason, and it was not.

    Any thoughts? I was thinking some WiFi adapter update on a build, but not sure. If so, even downgrading didn't fix it.

  • So I left the Pi on overnight, and just rebooted, and the first picture in the screenshot under "state" now actually says online instead of ready. Booted the latest Sep 28th nightly, and it appears to be fine as well.

    Not sure what caused the issue, but it appears after leaving the Pi on all night, it somehow reconnected. I guess so far the issue resolved itself.

  • So update. Came home, booted the Pi, and no internet again. The wireless "state" says ready again instead of online. Tried to refresh, but nothing. Even did a disconnect and then reconnect under its settings, and nothing.
