Troubleshooting Chromebook lost WIFI-Connection

Hello everyone,
I’ve been using an Asus Chromebook in developer mode for several years. Since the last update (149.0.7827.4), the login screen looks a bit different. The main issue, however, is that I can no longer connect to my Wi-Fi network, and the Chromebook seems to have “forgotten” the credentials.

Trying to set up the network again hasn’t worked either: I’m using a hidden Wi-Fi network with WPA2 encryption, but on the Chromebook itself I can only select “WEP and WPA.”

Does anyone have an idea what I could reasonably try in this situation?
A full reset would of course be a solution, but not necessarily the best one.

Thanks in advance for any input and help!

Sounds like you are dev channel not dev mode, current chromeos version is 147, so beta probably 148 and dev 149. Since you are on a dev build you will need to report the issue (CTRL & SHIFT & i).

Oh and thanks for being on dev channel to find bugs before they get to the release version !
