Wifi Connection Issues with Pi FPP 8.3 #2049

K8PI running FPP 8.3.

Describe the bug and Steps to reproduce:
I did a reboot command though Multisync to reboot all controllers. My Roof Pi was the only one that did not come back up (fat man isn't going up on the roof alone). I lost it in multisync. I couldn't access the webgui. I couldn't ping it. I couldn't SSH into it. BUT, it would show up on Unifi and disappear when I unplugged it.

I eventually killed my show wifi. Pulled the power and plugged it back in. I got the FPP hot spot. Was able to access the webgui. I then added a 5 sec boot delay and changed the wifi drivers to linux kernal. I rebooted and was able to gain access normally. I then proceeded to upgrade to 8.1

I packaged the logs. We noticed in the zoom room lots of wifi errors in they system log. I hope that if there is an issue, these logs will help.

Note - Events happened on 11/12 between 1100 and 1330 hours .

Happened again upgrading to 8.4 I couldn't reach it after the upgrade. I had to go outside and power cycle it. It then connected to my access point, but it was once again showing the hotspot address. I was able to connect to it via domain name and IPV6. I got the following screen shots. Some notes, it is broadcasting the FPP hotspot while connected to my home network. Pat Delaney was assisting me a bit on this.

@patdelaney Can you replicate this issue?

I can take a look, but my Access points are only 10-15 feet from the lab and very little structure (roof and walls) in the way. So this might not be apples to apples.
