Tech Support Steam Deck can't reach the internet after latest update

Updated my steam deck and it took a little bit to load after restart and now I can't reach the internet even though I know I have wifi, rebooting does nothing.

EDIT: it seemed to randomly fix itself? still keeping up incase anyone has an answer to why it did it

Glad to see I'm not the only one. It'll connect again then be unable to reach 10-15 minutes later. Are you having the same issue where it keeps disconnecting?

it initially didn't connect at first but then I swapped to my 2.4ghz connection and it connected for a bit and stopped, then I swapped back to 5ghz and it was fine
