All my cameras are dropping network connection after latest update. #54

I am having a serious problem with my cameras dropping their network connection since running the last update for the pikrellcam software. I have been using 2 R-Pi Zero W boards with day-night cameras for over 2 years now with no problems. They are connected via WiFi to a router that is about 10 feet away with clear line of sight. I only started having problems with both of them dropping their wifi connection after running the most recent updates for both the pikrellcam software as well as the latest linux updates. When I try to access the web control interface I am getting no connection to the camera, or I get a "gateway timeout" error. I really need to get these cameras working again since they are my home security cameras. I have tried using a different router, and still have the same issue, so it has to be the camera software that is causing this problem or something got broken with the linux updates. I would really like some help getting this working again as I can not figure out what is causing my cameras to drop their network connections.

Did you find an answer? I think the issue is Buster itself more then this program. With my RPi on WiFi the router sees the IP just fine but I can only ever connect on one device. Then when I add an LAN cable I can access the WiFi IP from many devices... Seems very odd. I get same results with ping/ssh/telnet both static IP, DHCP, router assigned IP.

i added under my interface section noipv6 to my dhcpcd.conf file and now i can view from all network connections. hopes this helps.
