Describe the bug

Description

Printed successfully from PrusaConnect on my XL 5-tool last night. Decided to flash to 6.2.0-alpha1 this morning before I began another print. Flash was successful. Printer was immedately shown to be offline on PrusaConnect. Tried several times to connect to PrusaConnect via the printer interface. Result error was Refused. Tried to connect via PrusaLink, printer could not be found. Double checked the wifi settings on the printer interface, showed as connected at IP 192.168.111.243. Used my modem's app to search for the prusa-xl client, no such client or any client at 192.168.111.243. Used netstat to check the status of 191.168.111.243, said "Host seems down".

Tried connecting with ethernet by plugging in the cable and selecting ethernet in the printer interface. Got connected with IP 192.168.111.118. Was able to connect to PrusaConnect successfully. Was given the option of flashing back to 6.1.3, and chose to do so. After 6.1.3 was flashed, I selected wifi as the network to use in the printer interface. PrusaConnect continued to work. Used PrusaConnect to start a print successfully.

Probably the same as issue #4199
