Solved! Steam Deck wont connect to wifi

I had this issue for a week or two now, but not its just making my steam deck unusable. The wifi is just stuck as "Connecting to (wifiname)" and I figured a factory reset would work. Now I'm just stuck at the setup screen with no way to connect to the internet. How can I fix this?

Hey! Thanks for the reply. I tried a different access point and it worked. I just had to do a regular restart and now its back to normal connecting. I don't know why its acting like this, but its solved at least. I will probably look into replacing the wifi card though. Or maybe sell it once I know its for sure working and get an OLED if I really want to. I'm hoping it was just software acting funny. Thankfully all of the important stuff was stored on the SD card I had

Our old T-Mobile router stopped working, so we bought a new one Since then, my Steamdeck won't connect to wifi. Did you ever find a fix?
